Glastonbury has a way of feeling both timeless and urgent, and 2025 is no exception. With the festival set to take a fallow year in 2026, this June’s edition is the last chance to gather at Worthy Farm for over two years — and the rush for tickets proved it.

The upshot

Glastonbury’s sell-out speed — first batch gone in 30 minutes — shows the demand spike created by the coming fallow year. Fans who missed out now face a two-year wait.

Seven key facts at a glance:

The pattern: every key fact points back to the same story — 2025 is the last hurrah before a planned break, and the organisers have already locked in the next edition for 2027.

When is Glastonbury 2025?

Glastonbury 2025 runs from Wednesday 25 June to Sunday 29 June 2025 at Worthy Farm in Pilton, Somerset. The dates are confirmed on the official festival website (Wikipedia, citing official source).

What are the exact dates?

The festival opens gates on the morning of Wednesday 25 June and closes after the final acts on Sunday 29 June. That’s five full days of music, camping, and arts — a schedule that hasn’t changed in years. (Wikipedia)

How long does the festival last?

Five days, Wednesday through Sunday. Most headlining acts appear Friday to Sunday, with the smaller stages and campsites active from Wednesday.

Bottom line: Glastonbury 2025 is a five-day event from June 25 to June 29 at Worthy Farm. For ticketless fans, the next opportunity is April 2025 resale — or wait until 2027.

Who will perform at Glastonbury in 2025?

Three headliners top the Pyramid Stage: The 1975, Neil Young, and Olivia Rodrigo (Wikipedia). Rod Stewart takes the traditional Sunday Legends slot (Wikipedia). The full lineup across dozens of stages is available on the BBC and Clashfinder.

Who is closing out the festival?

Olivia Rodrigo is the closing act on the Pyramid Stage (Wikipedia).

Which legends slot artist is performing?

Rod Stewart, the veteran rock singer, headlines the Sunday afternoon Legends slot (Wikipedia).

What are the secret sets?

As of now, no secret sets have been confirmed. Traditionally, the festival surprises attendees with unannounced performances — but who will appear is still unknown.

Bottom line: The headliner lineup is locked: The 1975, Neil Young, and Olivia Rodrigo, with Rod Stewart as the Legends slot. Secret sets remain a guessing game.

How much is a Glastonbury ticket in 2025?

A standard adult ticket costs £373.50 plus a £5 booking fee. This includes entry for all five days, camping, and a programme. Ticket prices are set by the organisers and listed on the official site.

What does the ticket price include?

Full access to the festival site, all stages, camping fields, and the official programme. Food, drink, and merchandise are extra.

Are there payment plans?

The official sale requires a £75 deposit per ticket, with the balance due by early April 2025. Payment is accepted via credit/debit card.

How much are other costs like food and drinks?

On-site food and drink prices vary. A popular burger has been reported at around £10. Expect standard festival pricing for water, beer, and snacks.

Bottom line: Ticket: £378.50 total. Food and drink extra. Payment plan available: £75 deposit, balance by April.

Has Glastonbury 2025 sold out?

Yes — all tickets sold out within 40 minutes of going on sale. The first batch of general admission tickets sold out in 30 minutes (ITV News), and the coach-ticket sale followed in under 40 minutes (ITV News).

How quickly did tickets sell?

The general sale on 17 November 2024 was done in 30 minutes (ITV News). The combined coach-and-ticket packages sold out in under 40 minutes (ITV News).

Will there be resale tickets?

The official resale took place in April 2025. A limited number of unpaid-balance tickets were released: coach-plus-ticket on 24 April, and general admission on 27 April (Glastonbury Festivals). The final resale reportedly sold out in 20 minutes (The Lagos Review).

How to buy tickets for future years?

Registration is required before booking. Details will be announced on the official Glastonbury website closer to the next sale.

The catch

Even the resale sold out in 20 minutes. With no festival in 2026, the secondary market saw intense demand. For future years, register early and be ready on sale day.

Why will there be no Glastonbury in 2026?

Glastonbury traditionally takes a fallow year every few years to let the land at Worthy Farm rest. 2026 is such a year — no festival will be held (ITV News).

Is Glastonbury 2027 cancelled?

No — Glastonbury 2027 is confirmed for June 23–27, 2027 (Wikipedia).

When is the next Glastonbury after 2025?

The next festival after the 2025 edition is Glastonbury 2027, scheduled for 23–27 June 2027 (Wikipedia).

Bottom line: No festival in 2026 due to fallow year. Next edition: 2027, dates already set. Fans must wait two years for the next Worthy Farm gathering.
