Who will be headlining at Glastonbury Festival 2025? The top rumoured names
The rumour mill is swirling
Although it feels like only yesterday that Glastonbury's world-renowned Pyramid Stage was graced with the likes of Dua Lipa and Coldplay, it's fair to say the countdown is well and truly on for next year's festival. With huge names such as Harry Styles and Madonna in the mix, it truly is anyone's guess who we'll see headlining next year's festivities.
As speculation swirls about who will be headlining at Glastonbury 2025, join us as we dive into the latest rumours and potential artists for the highly anticipated event. From rock legends to honorary pop superstars, and with a history of delivering unforgettable performances from legendary acts, here's who's topping the rumour list for Worthy Farm's Pyramid Stage next year...
Who is rumoured to be headlining at Glastonbury Festival 2025?
Harry Styles
One of the highest profile singers around at the moment - and fresh from his record-breaking 'Love On Tour', Harry Styles is one of the most popular names at the moment when it comes to rumoured Glastonbury 2025 headliners. Allegedly working away on his upcoming fourth album, the timings would line up perfectly for his first ever performance on the coveted Pyramid Stage.
RAYE
'Escapism' and 'BED' icon RAYE also joins the list of rumoured headliners, following the radical success of her debut studio album 'My 21st Century Blues'. With festival boss Emily Eavis keen to see more women headline the festival, the record-breaking six Brit Award winning 'Prada' would be a hugely popular option, with many already crying out for the singer to bag a headline spot.
Rihanna
Following her legendary performance at the 2023 Super Bowl Half-Time show - which not only saw her return to the stage after seven years, but also saw her announce her second pregnancy - it's fair to say that fans were left begging for more. With Rihanna's upcoming ninth album well and truly on the way, what better way to celebrate than with a headline Glastonbury performance?!
Fred Again..
It's fair to say that Fred Again is one of the most biggest rising electronic music stars around at the moment - so it's no surprise that he joins the highly anticipated rumoured headliners for Glastonbury 2025. With his infectious energy and innovative sound, and hits such as 'adore u', he's quickly become a fan favourite, and would certainly bring an undeniably upbeat atmosphere to the adoring Glastonbury crowd.
Sam Fender
No stranger to a headline festival slot, having rocked the likes of Leeds & Reading Festival and Boardmasters, 'Will We Talk?' star Sam Fender is another artist in high demand at the moment. With two highly successful and award-winning studio albums under his belt, the 'Seventeen Going Under' singer is another popular name swirling the Glastonbury 2025 rumour mill.
Taylor Swift
It comes as no surprise that the reigning Queen of Pop, Taylor Swift, is another name to join the rumoured headliners list for Glastonury 2025. Following her groundbreaking, record-breaking, and all-round breathtaking 'Eras Tour', and the drop of her 11th studio album 'The Tortured Poets Department', fans are crying out for the pop superstar to take to the Pyramid Stage in 2025.
Oasis
Following the monumental announcement of their long-awaited reunion, which will see them tour the UK from July 2025, many fans were convinced that this could coincide with an epic headline performance at Glastonbury 2025. Despite this, we regret to inform you that Oasis have in fact confirmed that this will not be happening, with them stating just days after their reunion announcement: 'Despite media speculation, Oasis will not be playing Glastonbury 2025 or any other festivals next year. The only way to see the band perform will be on their Oasis Live '25 World Tour.'
Madonna
In 2024, Madonna was reportedly in talks to perform the Sunday headline slot at Glastonbury - however, negotiations could allegedly not be agreed when it came to the singer's performance fee. On top of this, the singer didn't wrap 'The Celebration Tour' until May, with the potential headline performance making for quite the busy schedule. With 2024 not quite working out, could 2025 see negotiations pick back up to bag the legendary 'Material Girl' superstar?
Bon Jovi
With past Rock n' Roll performers such as Guns N' Roses (2023) and Foo Fighters (2017) having rocked the stage in the past, you'd be forgiven for thinking it's about time the Pyramid Stage was electrified by the legendary Bon Jovi. Not only do they have an impressive catalogue of timeless hits, but lead singer Jon Bon even admitted to Metro in 2024: "I feel like it would be pretty legendary. Let's think about it, for next year." Shockingly, the singer admitted that the band has never been asked to headline the festival - so could 2025 be the year we hear hits such as 'Always', 'Runaway' and 'You Give Love a Bad Name' belted throughout Worthy Farm?
