July 1st 2024.
As we bask in the memories of the beautiful weekend we just had at Glastonbury 2024, with the sun shining and the music playing, our minds can't help but turn to the future. Rumors are already swirling about who will take the stage at Glastonbury 2025, and we can't help but join in on the speculation.
This year's festival was a hit, with Coldplay and Michael J Fox rocking the Pyramid Stage, Sugababes receiving some serious love from the crowd, and Louis Tomlinson keeping everyone updated on England's game against Slovakia. And now, with four days of singing and dancing behind us, we have a whole year to anticipate who will headline in 2025.
This year, Dua Lipa kicked things off on Friday, followed by Coldplay on Saturday for a record fifth time, and SZA closing out the weekend on Sunday evening. But our eyes are already looking ahead to next year's lineup. So, who are the potential acts that could grace the top of the bill at Glastonbury 2025?
Taylor Swift is a name that immediately comes to mind. Currently in the midst of her sell-out worldwide stadium tour, Ms. Swift is no stranger to performing for massive crowds. She was all set to play at Glastonbury 2020 alongside Sir Paul McCartney and Kendrick Lamar, but unfortunately, the festival was cancelled due to the Covid pandemic. Maybe 2025 will be the year she finally gets to take the Pyramid Stage by storm.
Another potential headliner could be none other than Madonna. According to sources, the pop legend was originally lined up to perform at Glastonbury 2024, but was noticeably absent from the lineup. Fans have speculated that this may have been due to her recent health battles, but with her Celebration Tour concluding in December 2024, she could be ready to take on Glastonbury in 2025.
One name that has been long overdue for a Glastonbury performance is Eminem. As one of the biggest names in rap for the past 25 years, the absence of Marshall Mathers from previous lineups is a sad reflection of the festival's history with rap music. However, with the likes of Jay Z, Kanye West, Stormzy, and Kendrick Lamar all having successful performances in recent years, maybe 2025 will be the year Eminem finally gets his chance to shine at Worthy Farm.
Another potential act that could have fans jumping for joy is the Spice Girls. With Mel C surprising the crowd at this year's festival and bookies slashing odds on a reunion, it seems like a no-brainer for the iconic girl group to take the stage at Glastonbury in the near future. During an interview, Mel C even hinted at the possibility of a reunion at the festival, so we'll just have to wait and see if 2025 is their year.
Rock fans may have something to look forward to in 2025 as well, with Bon Jovi expressing interest in playing the coveted Legends slot. Despite being a hugely successful band since 1982, they have never been asked to play at Glastonbury. With the success of Guns N' Roses' headlining set last year, it may be time for some more rock and roll on the Pyramid Stage.
And let's not forget about the amazing performances from Sugababes and Avril Lavigne at this year's festival. Both sets were a hit with fans, drawing large crowds and even causing some issues with overcrowding. With their impressive comeback performances and a combined total of six UK number one singles and five UK number one albums, it's safe to say they deserve a higher billing for Glastonbury 2025.
As we eagerly await the announcement of the Glastonbury 2025 lineup, let's keep our fingers crossed for these amazing potential headliners. Who knows, maybe some of them will even make a surprise appearance this year. Until then, we can relive the memories and catch up on all the festival highlights on BBC iPlayer.
