With just over three short months until Glastonbury Festival 2025 opens its gates, fans are convinced the first lineup poster is imminent and the official festival page just hinted as much.

Ever since the November ticket bloodbath, Glasto-obsessives have been wondering who on earth they’ve forked out almost £400 to go and see.

Names including Charli XCX, Olivia Rodrigo, Sam Fender, Sabrina Carpenter, Chappell Roan, and The 1975 have circulated this year for the top Pyramid Stage spots, with two big stars already confirmed in Neil Young and Sir Rod Stewart.

Earlier today a rumour circulated that we will get the first 2025 lineup poster tomorrow at 8am. Now it seems Glastonbury Festival itself has teased this too.

The festival posted on their Instagram Story this evening a simple video clip of a phoenix rising from the flames and turning into the Worthy Farm festival’s logo.

‘Glastonbury lineup rumored to be coming out 8am tomorrow morning I am NOT gonna get any sleep tonight,’ said @Alialhashimi139 on X earlier this evening, before Glastonbury’s cryptic post.

On Reddit fake-looking lineup posters – with spelling errors – have been circulating like wildfire, showing a bogus BBC watermark over the top with date and time March 6, 8.00am also printed.

While these posters seem to be fake – they have typos in band names such as The Selector, rather than The Selecter – one did catch fans’ eyes as sporting the same logo as the official Glastonbury page’s tease of the phoenix rising from the ashes.

As this fake poster was circulating before the official festival phoenix video tease, fans thought it might be on to something.

However, as excitement mounted that this poster could indeed be a true leak, it deflated just as quickly, when someone pointed out that last year’s Glastonbury logo was also a phoenix. So it was likely just a good guess at the poster’s art.

The headliners on these fake posters did seem to follow the rumours with Olivia Rodrigo, The 1975, and Charli XCX mentioned, as well as Pulp, Doechii and Biffy Clyro.

However, we won’t know anything for sure until the official announcement.

When asked whether it’s been ‘confirmed’ the Glastonbury lineup is dropping tomorrow, Reddit user Dizzy_Initial_7100 claimed to have been given the date and time of March 6, 8am, by someone in the know.

‘Nothing confirmed but I have been informed from someone who would know so I will be surprised if he is wrong,’ they wrote.

Let’s hope this comes true.

As the official Glastonbury page has teased an announcement is imminent, the first lineup poster will likely come tomorrow, on Thursday March 6.

If 8am comes and goes tomorrow with no further information, Friday is still looking likely for the first Glastonbury lineup drop.

In 2022 and 2023 the line-up was announced on the first Friday of March – and this is historically the most common day of the week for Glastonbury line-up announcements.

Glastonbury sleuthing account TheGlastoThingy have compiled all the announcement dates over the years, so we can have a calculated guess at when the poster should come.

In 2024 ticketholders didn’t get a whiff of an official announcement until March 14 when the full lineup dropped – but that was also the longest wait for a single official announcement in 17 years of the festival’s history.

In previous years, Glastonbury more often than not drip fed acts in the months before the first line up poster was announced.

Pre-Covid cancellations, 2019 saw a long wait until March bar the Janelle Monae announcement, and ahead of the 2018 fallow year, the Foo Fighters were announced in February 2017 for that year.

Zooming all the way back to 2011, the festival’s biggest acts were announced ahead of the lineup in February, with Beyoncé, Coldplay and U2 confirmed by March.

Artists who could be destined for the Pyramid Stage in 2025 include The 1975, Olivia Rodrigo, Sam Fender, Harry Styles, Green Day, Eminem, Sabrina Carpenter and The Rolling Stones, with Chappell Roan and Charli XCX also rumoured.

However, time will tell. One thing is for sure, after criticism of last year’s line up while brilliant acts popped up at other festivals like Stevie Nicks at BST Hyde Park, Emily will be keen to make this one historic.

Also with a fallow year in 2026 – to give the Worthy Farm fields a break from all the stomping and raving – this year’s line up will have to be worth talking about for two years to come until the next Glastonbury in 2027.

When is Glastonbury 2025?

Glastonbury is taking place from Wednesday, June 25 – 29, with most of the music on the last three days.

If you haven’t got a ticket, the festival will be broadcasted on the BBC.

Can you still get Glastonbury 2025 tickets?

Unfortunately, tickets are all sold out. But fear not – there is a resale in April of any cancelled or returned tickets, which will give hopefuls their last chance to attend. This year tickets cost £373.50, plus a £5 booking fee – an £18.50 increase from 2024.

If you don’t want to pay, there are numerous volunteering opportunities with charities like WaterAid, Oxfam, and Greenpeace.
