image

Glastonbury Festival has finally announced the dates for the 2025 ticket sale and has revealed the new price for next year’s event.

The 2025 festival will run from Wednesday, June 25 to Sunday, June 29. The lineup has not been revealed yet, as co-organizers Michael and Emily Eavis usually announce the headliners at the beginning of March.

Last Thursday (October 10) Glastonbury announced that tickets with a coach travel package will be available for purchase on Thursday, November 14, while general admission tickets will go on sale three days later, on Sunday, November 17.

The announcement also confirmed that ticket prices for Glastonbury 2025 have risen by £13.50 from last year, bringing the cost of a general admission full weekend ticket to £373.50, plus a £5 booking fee. In comparison, general admission tickets for the 2024 event were priced at £360.

Ticket prices have risen by £13.50 annually, amounting to a total increase of £108.50 over the past six years. In 2019, the cost of tickets was £265, plus a £5 booking fee.

Those wanting to buy tickets can purchase up to six at a time and will need to pay a £75 deposit. Coach travel tickets will incur additional costs based on the coach prices. The remaining balance for the tickets will be charged in the first week of April 2025.

Last year, coach tickets for Glastonbury Festival 2024 sold out in just under 30 minutes, while general admission tickets were gone in less than an hour. Glastonbury 2024 was reported to have the “highest percentage” of ticket balances paid in the festival’s history, resulting in fewer tickets available for resale in April.

How and when do I register for tickets to Glastonbury 2025?

If you want to be in with a chance of heading to Glastonbury next year, you’ll need to register first if you haven’t already. The organisers require everyone aged 13 or over heading to the festival to have their own valid registration number, in a bid to cut down on touts. So, each general admission ticket will come with a photo of the ticket holder printed on it.

If you plan to buy tickets for other people, they all need to be registered too. You’ll need their registration numbers and corresponding postcodes if you’re planning to buy tickets on their behalf.

It’s free to register and doesn’t take long, but registration usually closes for a few weeks around each ticket sale – and it’s a good idea to give yourself time to re-submit your registration if you need to – it’s best to register sooner rather than later.

To register, simply start by entering your email address. Within an hour, you’ll be sent a unique link to allow you to start the registration process. You can use the link multiple times for different people if you wish to, but you’ll need to wait 10 minutes before submitting each registration. When registering, you’ll need to provide some basic contact details along with a passport-standard photo.

Last year, the festival told fans that anyone who registered for tickets prior to 2020 would need to review and confirm their registration before 2024 tickets went on sale, so even if you’ve registered in the past you may need to review your registration. Check out Glastonbury’s website for more information.

When will the Glastonbury 2025 line-up be revealed and who’s playing?

We don’t know who will play Glastonbury 2025 yet, and the lineup is usually revealed in March. This year’s festival saw Dua LipaColdplay and SZA headline the Pyramid Stage at Worthy Farm, with Shania Twain taking the legends slot. Other artists to perform over the weekend included Little SimzJusticeAvril LavigneThe NationalLCD SoundsystemFontaines D.C. and Idles.

Bookmakers are already taking bets on 2025’s headliners, and rumours about secret talks have started to swirl. Emily Eavis has confirmed she’s “already in talks with some acts” for next year. NME has made a list of everyone who could be a potential headliner for 2025, and predictions include RAYEOasisAC/DC and Olivia Rodrigo.

Watch Stevie Nicks perform on ‘SNL’ for first time in 41 years

Stevie Nicks made her long-awaited return to Saturday Night Live (SNL) after 41 years, serving as the musical guest for the October 12 episode hosted by Ariana Grande.

The Fleetwood Mac vocalist performed her new single, ‘The Lighthouse,’ as well as her classic hit, ‘Edge of Seventeen.’

Dressed in all-black, this marked the musician’s second-ever appearance on the show, and her first in 41 years. The last time Nicks was on SNL was in 1983 when she performed ‘Stand Back’ and ‘Night Bird’. Her band Fleetwood Mac has never performed on the comedy show.

Watch Nicks perform ‘The Lighthouse’ and ‘Edge of Seventeen’ below.

Nicks released her new track ‘The Lighthouse’ in September, inspired by the US Supreme Court decision to overturn Roe v Wade. 

The former Fleetwood Mac singer has described the song as “the most important thing I ever do”, a rousing call to arms for women to reclaim their reproductive healthcare rights in the US and beyond.

I have my scars, you have yours / Don’t let them take your power,” she sings softly at the opening of the track. The track swells into a full rock production, with Nicks singing: “They’ll take your soul, they’ll take your power / Unless you save it / And that’s that / Unless you stand up and take it back”.

Nicks has recently encouraged her fans to “select the candidate who resonates with you and your beliefs” when voting in the US presidential election.

Saturday night’s episode of SNL was hosted by Ariana Grande, who was the third host of the historic show’s 50th season. She delivered impressions of Britney SpearsCeline Dion and Miley Cyrus.

Kicking off the show, Grande delivered a monologue referencing her upcoming role as Glinda in the Wicked movie. “It’s awesome, because I’m such a theatre kid. And it’s every theatre kid’s dream to be Glinda or Elphaba,” she told the audience. “Well, it’s every theater kid’s dream to lose their virginity. But their second dream is of course to be in Wicked.”

Later in the show she impersonated Celine Dion during a sketch that spoofed the singer’s surprising promo for the NFL last week.

Elsewhere in the show, the cast performed a sketch as Oasis, poking fun at their past turbulent relationship. Liam Gallagher has since reacted to the bit, writing on Twitter/X: “Are they meant to be comedians”.
