As spring approaches, the excitement for festival season is building. Music lovers everywhere are eagerly anticipating the headliners that they simply cannot miss.

But no matter where you fall on the spectrum, there's something for everyone in the upcoming festival season. From the iconic Glastonbury to the unique 360 experience of Polygon Live, and even day festivals like BST Hyde Park, the UK is promising some seriously cool music in 2025. But it's not just the UK that's bringing the heat. International heavyweights like Primavera Sound in Barcelona are also proving to be worthy contenders, with a lineup that includes some of the biggest names in pop.
So whether you're looking for a low-key local festival or are willing to fly to warmer climates for a weekend of dancing, these are the 15 best festivals for 2025. But be warned, the hardest part will be choosing which one to attend.
Of course, no festival season would be complete without the legendary Glastonbury Festival. This prestigious event holds a special place in the hearts of music lovers everywhere, and 2025 is set to be a particularly spectacular year. It will be the last one before Worthy Farm takes a break to allow the land to recover, known as a fallow year. With Neil Young as the only confirmed headliner so far, along with the promise of Sir Rod Stewart bringing his model railways to the stage, the lineup is already shaping up to be one for the books. But with speculations of big names like Olivia Rodrigo, Eminem, and even Rihanna in the running, the excitement is only building.
But Glastonbury isn't the only festival with an epic lineup. Primavera Sound in Barcelona has given us the girlie pop festival of our dreams, with headliners like Charli XCX, Chappell Roan, and Sabrina Carpenter. Held at Parc del Fòrum, this festival promises to be a fun-filled weekend in the Spanish sun.
If pop isn't your thing, then look no further than London's newest festival, Polygon Live. With a specially designed outdoor "spaceship" and a lineup that includes electronic artists like Arooj Aftab and Gold Panda, this festival is sure to be a unique experience. And with ticket prices starting at only £74.61 for a general admission day ticket, it's also one of the more affordable options.
But let's not forget about the day festivals, like All Points East. With each day tailored to a different genre, this year's lineup includes Chase & Status, Barry Can't Swim, and the highly-anticipated reunion of The Maccabees. And for those looking for something a little different, Y Not Festival in Derbyshire promises to deliver. With headliners like The Prodigy, Courteeners, and Madness, this festival is perfect for alternative indie rockers.
And for those willing to travel a little further, Sziget festival in Budapest is not to be missed. Ranked as the best all-round festival last year, this year's lineup includes big names like Charli XCX, A$AP Rocky, and Post Malone. And with tickets still available, this could be the perfect opportunity to catch your favorite artists in a unique setting.
But if you're looking for a more traditional festival experience, BST Hyde Park has got you covered. With a lineup that includes Olivia Rodrigo, Zach Bryan, and Sabrina Carpenter, this year's concerts are not to be missed. And even though Hugh Jackman had to cancel due to scheduling conflicts, the rest of the lineup is so impressive that we can't be too upset.
So whether you're a fan of pop, electronic, indie, or anything in between, there's a festival for you in 2025. With so many amazing options, the hardest part will be choosing which ones to attend.
