‘Unreal’ Glastonbury stage lineup announcement confirms huge headliner clash
The clashes have already begun!
Glastonbury has unveiled yet another 2025 stage poster, and fans are calling the lineup ‘unreal’ despite a massive clash confirmation.
Stages like Acoustic and Field of Avalon have already been revealed, while the Pyramid and Other stage headliners were the first to be announced.
Next up is West Holts, featuring a ‘multinational selection of artists spanning hip hop, soul, dance, reggae, Afro, psyche & jazz’.
Last year, the stage was shut down during The Sugababes’ set due to overcrowding — and this year’s acts could be just as popular.
Headlining West Holts on Friday night is British electronic duo Maribou State, bringing hits like Midas, Steal, and Feel Good ft Khruangbin.
Closing the stage on Sunday is another electronic duo; this time, it’s Welsh brothers Ed and Tom Russell, better known as Overmono.

The Denial is a River hitmaker is likely to be on stage at the same time as Charli XCX, creating a conundrum for chart fans.
Doechii has had a meteoric rise after releasing her album, mirroring that of Charli’s Brat last summer.
It was confirmed by Nick Grimshaw and Annie Mac on their Sidetracked podcast that Charli will headline the Other Stage, along with Loyle Carner and The Prodigy.

Also on this new announcement are the likes of Kneecap, Greentea Peng, corto.alto, Amaarae, and Parcels.
US group Infinity Song were also confirmed for West Holts after accidentally self-confirming and posting they will be at Glastonbury ‘for the first time’.

‘Looks like my Friday and Saturday nights will be living it up at West Holts!’ praised MrWayneyB as Goronlife said: ‘That’s unreal.’
‘Overmono on west holts will slap,’ added kxrb02 as InvisiblezLama shared: ‘Doechii is a huge get and will be looked back on as a big artist.’
