The 1975, Neil Young and Olivia Rodrigo will headline the Pyramid Stage at Worthy Farm in June, much to the frustration of many music lovers who say the line-up is ‘rubbish’
Glastonbury fans have hit out on social media at the newly-confirmed 2025 line-up. The headline acts have been dubbed a “fall from grace” for the iconic festival, with some labelling the choices for Worthy Farm as “absolutely rubbish”.
The festival, which takes place from June 25 to 29, dropped the full line-up details yesterday (March 6), with The 1975, Neil Young, and Olivia Rodrigo taking the coveted Pyramid Stage headline slots. Other notable artists include the likes of Charli XCX, Alanis Morrissette, Raye, Rod Stewart, and Busta Rhymes, meanwhile.
Tickets flew off the virtual shelves in November, selling out in a mere 35 minutes – before anyone even knew who was playing. For some punters, that risky bet seems to have backfired, with many gutted music fans taking to X to air their remorse in hindsight.
One X user blasted: “1975 headlining Glastonbury? What an absolute fall from grace that once great festival has had. Relying on utter c**p to fill the main billing and at a record price.” Another said in relief: “Absolutely rubbish headliners. So happy I’m not going. 22 year olds with two songs for £400.”
A third person slammed: “Hate to say it but Glastonbury is a shadow of what it once was. It’s absolutely c**p. This has to be one of the worst line-ups ever surely. A fourth added: “That Glastonbury line up is shocking. It normally gets worse each year, but that is one huge leap into s***e. The 1975 headlining is worse than just getting Coldplay back for the 42nd time.”
And a fifth user vented their frustration, saying: “Absolutely shocking line up. Its laughable to be honest. 1975 and Olivia Rodrigo headlining. Won’t be watching none of that.”
Some music lovers were left buzzing over the lime-up announcement, however, including one person who penned: “For me it’s a middling line up, which is the best kind of Glastonbury line up because one that’s too good just means you’re going to have endless clashes or be running around everywhere and not enjoy the festival properly.”
A second pointed out: “Neil Young is important musically for six decades and is still creative, far more than any other popular musician, you may or not like him but he deserves a big UK farewell from fans at Glastonbury. It’s going to be great.”
Whilst a third defended the bill: “Glastonbury line-up is great I have zero time for this weird contrarian hate from supposed indie music fans who resent anything successful.”
