Acts Touring Around Glastonbury 2025

[CaledonianGonzo]

Probably an Avalon sort of act - think they played it a few years back.

Elbow, Bananarama (!) and Rag ‘n Bone Man announced so far for Hampton Court festival. More will be added soon.  It’s in early June 2025 and a lot of the acts often pop up at the farm. Wondering if Bananarama could make a nostalgia appearance somewhere. 

 In 2022 3 acts appeared but that's actually a rarity and I have a feeling that might have played a part with Glastonbury being off two years. The years surrounding it was usually just one act I believe in 19 and 23, 24 didnt have one I don’t think. So I'd expect is to be Elbow or Rag N Bone Man.

Yes, Bananarama played the Avalon 2019, I wasn’t there but I seem to recall they got a big crowd.

Rufus Du Sol sold out their London gig and an nfl stadium in the U.S in a couple days. No shot at Glasto eh lol

I think there's a very good chance of RDS playing Glasto. Would go well on the Park or West Holts.

It was fairly big, not over spilling the tent but full.

Definitely WHs I'd say. Given who the park have had recently I'd say possible but WHs is bigger and don't think they'd take less.

Not really a problem of what they do in the US.

2024 did - Paloma Faith. Sure it varies from year to year but there’s often an overlap I think. We live really near HCP so often catch the gigs there. Will keep an eye on more announcements and share when I see it.

I put 2024 and then couldn't see Paloma for somr reason so yes it seems one act so I reckon they've probably cut down the amount of acts maybe they want to share. Rag n Bone Man would be my hunch with Elbow needing a break. They did the Pilton party and are virtually Coldplay without actually having headlined. 4 times over 11 years, 5 over 14 is big overkill on top of the party. We don't need 6 times in 16

RDS near the top of West Holts, surely?

Nobody said this (as usual with the rubbish you come up with)

Can't see Sting at Glastonbury with those dates. A Legends candidate if there ever was one.

Seen him this year and absolutely brilliant too and very energetic for his age still

He just believes every artist that can do a big venue in the states is suitable to headline Glastonbury.

Scissor Sisters reunion coming. You'd think there's a good chance of them at the festival. Think they'd go down well on Sunday afternoon before/after the legends slot.

 

Also, on the topic of the Primavera lineup, I just want to say that I think if they had to hit the panic button for a headliner in 2025 like they did with SZA, Charli XCX would put on a phenomenal headline slot and people would definitely head to see her. Couldn't see her being booked as a priority headliner, but let's say they get to March and Olivia cancels her tour, Charli would absolutely f**king demolish a headline slot at Glasto.

Yeah SS are perfect for 3rd Sunday

[CantWaitForGlasto22]

Oh Scissor Sisters! Haven’t seen them since a gig at the O2 which must have been about 17 years ago. when a friend invited a group of us to a corporate box. Free bar. Such a funny evening. Very messy. Be brilliant to see them again.

The Temple for them then. The'll probably have at least two dnb albums out by the time of the festival anyway.

Probably far too big a hole for it to be GS, unless they add more european dates in mid-late June.

Be very surprised if they didnt add a few festivals while theyre in Europe.
