Mad Cool 2025 review: Further proof that Olivia Rodrigo is unquestionably a rock star

If she was able to endear herself to the Glastonbury faithful by bringing out Robert Smith, she showed here she is able to pack a punch, live, without a guest star. Her openers Obsessed and Ballad of a Homeschool Girl hit hard and set up Rodrigo for the piano epics of Vampire, Driver's Licence, and Traitor that follow. Perhaps the third part of the set, the home of the album tracks, is the weakest and might yet be replaced when Rodrigo has more than two albums under her belt. But the thumping, one-two closer of Good 4 U into Get Him Back was a worthy end to a weekend of excellent music.

How earplugs became the hot new accessory at music festivals

I t's long past the witching hour at Genosys, an open-air nightclub at the Glastonbury Festival, and the DJ has turned up the volume. The bass thunders, the synths screech, but to me it all feels pleasantly as though it's happening in the next room. This is not because my ears have given up: I am wearing a pair of earplugs that filter out high-frequency sound waves. I can still hear every beat, crescendo and my husband asking if I want another drink; it just doesn't feel as if my eardrums are being subjected to artillery fire. I am 35 and have spent more than two decades taking a fairly cavalier approach to noise. I was in primary school when I got my first Walkman, later upgraded to an iPod. Then as I got a bit older I spent weekends camped near nightclub speakers screaming the lyrics to Mr Brightside. University involved similar nights out with even worse music; after graduating I discovered podcasts. I never gave much thought to my ears — until a bad infection caused my left eardrum to perforate and it scared me. This time at Glastonbury I wore earplugs under my bucket hat.
