Glastonbury has made a rare Saturday announcement, confirming the first entire stage lineup for 2025’s festival.

Surprising fans, Glastonbury dropped almost 30 extra artists as it revealed the full list of acts on the Acoustic Stage for each day of the festival.

Earlier this month, the festival revealed its first phase lineup with headliners Neil Young, Olivia Rodrigo, and the slightly controversial The 1975.

Sir Rod Stewart will also take to the Pyramid Stage as the Sunday legend while Other Stage will be headlined by Loyle Carner, The Prodigy and Charli XCX — with fans already concerned about overcrowding.

Rumours are still flying about who is yet to be announced, with a self-confirm from US band Infinity Song confirming there was much more in store for Worthy Farm.

Now, the usually chill Acoustic Stage lineup has been revealed, having hosted the likes of Scouting For Girls and Russell Crowe last year.

American folk-rock singer Ani DiFranco will take the Friday headline slot with sets from Gabrielle Aplin and The Searchers throughout the day.

On Saturday, new wave artist Nick Lowe is last on the lineup after a day of Irish musicians, including Hothouse Flowers, The Coronas, and Lorraine Nash.

Roy Harper will close the stage on Sunday, following London Community Gospel Choir and The Bootleg Beatles.

This is only the seventh time ever that Glastonbury has made an announcement on a Saturday and the second earliest stage reveal ever.

‘A very rare Saturday Glastonbury announcement!’ ThatGlastoThingy shared. ‘This is only the 7th one ever.’

The past two years have seen Poetry & Words and Kidzfield revealed on Saturday but this is the biggest stage since 2011’s Arcadia weekend announcement.

Fans were excited by this fresh slate of artists as nostawsemaj wrote: ‘That’s a great festival without anything else.’

‘Hothouse Flowers are well worth checking out for sure ,’ said torbay_chef.

‘Amazing. I could spend the whole weekend in one tent ,’ added festivalsoundspodcast.

‘Jeremy Loops, absolutely huge!’ shared majozimusic.

With 20 more stage posters to be revealed — including Avalon, Woodsies, West Holts and the Pyramid — festival season is well and truly on the way.

There are still some heavily rumoured names in the mix, with The Wombats appearing to add fuel to the fire at their O2 Arena gig.

Murph and the band teased they would ‘possibly see people in a muddy field soon’ despite not being on the lineup so far.

Also rumoured are Sam Fender, Paramore (possibly solo Hayley Williams), Pulp, and McFly with a potential Busted stand-off.

Some stages have been confirmed on Nick Grimshaw and Annie Mac’s Sidetracked podcast, including a set from Annie herself.

Raye is heading back to the Pyramid Stage while Doechii is headlining West Holts — clashing with Charli XCX and Neil Young.

We’re less than 100 days until Worthy Farm opens its gates once more, and with resale tickets looming, Glastonbury feels closer than ever.
