Glastonbury Festival 2025 ends after weekend of controversy and surprises
Punk duo Bob Vylan and Belfast rap trio Kneecap have seen both of their sets on Saturday being assessed by Avon and Somerset Police to decide whether any offences were committed.
UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer had said in the run-up to the festival that he thought Kneecap's set was not "appropriate" at Glastonbury.
On Friday, festival goers were treated to surprise performances from alternative pop star Lorde, who played her new album Virgin in full, and Scottish singer Lewis Capaldi, who played two years after a set at the festival during which he struggled to manage his Tourette syndrome symptoms.
The 1975 took to the Pyramid Stage to headline that night, with a set which saw singer Matty Healy joke he was his generation's "best songwriter", with the band playing songs such as Chocolate, Love Me and About You.
Pulp were revealed to be Patchwork appearing on the Pyramid Stage on Saturday to a backdrop paying homage to their classic 1995 stand in headline set.
The Jarvis Cocker-fronted band performed some of their best known songs such as Common People, Babies and Do You Remember The First Time?.
Their appearance came 30 years after their breakthrough headline performance at the festival when they stood in for The Stone Roses after the Manchester band's guitarist John Squire was injured in a cycling accident.
Candida Doyle, the band's keyboard player, had previously appeared to confirm the band would not perform at the festival, despite being keen to play, telling BBC Radio 6 Music last week "they (Glastonbury) weren't interested".
Also on Saturday, Haim made a surprise appearance on the Park Stage opening with one of their best known songs in The Wire, before performing a mix of older songs such as Summer Girl, and new singles including Relationships.
The day saw veteran rocker Neil Young headline, performing some of his best known songs including Cinnamon Girl, Like A Hurricane and Rockin' In The Free World, at one point in the set he performed with Hank Williams' guitar.
Brat star Charli XCX headlined the Other Stage on Saturday, performing tracks from last year's summer sensation such as 360, Von Dutch and Club Classics.
Performing the viral Apple dance, during the song of the same name, was US singer Gracie Abrams, who had played on the same stage a day earlier.
Rod Stewart performed in the Sunday legends slot, bringing out former Faces bandmate Ronnie Wood for Stay With Me, Lulu for Hot Legs and Simply Red's Mick Hucknall for a performance of his band's If You Don't Know Me By Now.
He was also joined by the festival's founder, Michael Eavis, who was wheeled on to the stage by his daughter, organiser Emily Eavis.
Bagpipes had signalled the arrival of Stewart, who kicked off his afternoon performance with 1981 single, Tonight I'm Yours (Don't Hurt Me).
His set also included hits such as Maggie May, You Wear It Well and Da Ya Think I'm Sexy?.
The Pyramid Stage was headlined by pop rocker Olivia Rodrigo on Sunday evening, who brought out The Cure frontman Robert Smith to sing his band's songs Just Like Heaven and Friday I'm In Love.
As the 66-year-old indie-goth star arrived on stage on Sunday night, Rodrigo said: "Glastonbury would you please welcome Robert Smith, give him a big welcome, come on."
At the end of Just Like Heaven, the pair hugged, before Rodrigo said "give it up for Robert Smith you guys" before adding she was "so honoured to play with him tonight".
The weekend saw many acts express their support for Palestine, with singer Ellie Rowsell of indie rockers Wolf Alice telling the crowd: "We want to express our solidarity with the people of Palestine, and we shouldn't be afraid to do that."
Their Other Stage set saw them climax with their best known song Don't Delete The Kisses, which came after they had played snippets of The White Stripes' Seven Nation Army and Black Sabbath's War Pigs.
Irish country star CMAT, real name Ciara Mary-Alice Thompson, chanted "free Palestine" during her set, which included Take A Sexy Picture Of Me, from her forthcoming third studio album Euro-Country.
While frontman Dan Hoff of Irish noise rockers Gurriers said during their Woodsies set: "Free Palestine, unlike other bands we know where we stand politically."

'An opportunity missed': RTÉ will again not be televising any of Electric Picnic this year
RTÉ WILL NOT be providing any TV coverage of this year's Electric Picnic, continuing a policy that has been in place for the last five stagings of the festival. The lack of coverage has been branded as an 'opportunity missed' by the Music and Entertainment Association of Ireland (MEAI), which says that Irish acts in particular would benefit hugely from the TV exposure. RTÉ provided live coverage and highlights from Ireland's largest music festival for a number of years about a decade ago, but last did so back in 2017. 2FM will be broadcasting live radio coverage of Electric Picnic, and three other music festivals this summer , but RTÉ has confirmed to The Journal that no TV coverage is planned. The BBC's coverage of the Glastonbury festival has been controversial this year following performances from Irish rap trip Kneecap and English punk rap duo Bob Vylan, but the annual coverage of the festival by the BBC has been extremely popular. In 2023, more than 23 million people watched Glastonbury on the BBC and this year the broadcaster was planning over 90 hours of performances across its live streams. The BBC chose not to broadcast Kneecap's performance at the festival this year but a live-stream of the gig by a woman on TikTok was viewed by over a million people . Yesterday, it was confirmed that Kneecap had been added to the bill at the upcoming Electric Picnic and The Journal confirmed with RTÉ that no TV coverage of the festival is planned. Asked why TV coverage of the festival hasn't been an annual commitment in light of the previous coverage, an RTÉ spokesperson said this was 'an editorial decision'. Advertisement Asked whether the decision was based on resources and whether TV coverage of the event could return in the future, the spokesperson said: RTÉ reviews all its coverage plans across all services on a regular basis. 'Missed opportunity' Jackie Conboy, a co-founder of the MEAI which lobbies for more airplay of Irish artists , says that broadcasting Electric Picnic would be a major benefit both for the artists themselves and for marketing Irish music abroad. 'It's a huge opportunity that's been missed and I do not understand why. TV is a major platform and even to have the footage for them to have on their website or their social, like that's a major thing,' he told The Journal . We're always on about festivals and about trying to get airplay. We've gone in front of various committees in relation to this and it seems to just fall on deaf ears. 'It's so obvious and it's common sense that if you're selling Ireland abroad this is one of the huge ways to do it, and a very simple way to do it and yet again we're being ignored.' Conboy also references the three-year €725 million funding package that RTÉ was awarded last year by government under a new 'multi-annual' funding model. 'When you look at the €720-odd million given to RTÉ, and yet they're pulling back on all this stuff now. They're talking about putting 25% of content out to independent producers but here was a great example of doing something positive for the music industry here and for new acts.' 'Whatever about the well-known international acts they don't need that kind of coverage but the likes of the new acts do,' he adds. Conboy acknowledges that the outside broadcast units that would be required to televise Electric Picnic would perhaps be expensive but there could be ways to fund that. 'You can get sponsorship and the fact that there seems to be so much money for other things but not when it comes to stuff like this,' he says.

The Traitors UK, US and Australia lands on RTÉ Player today
Ahead of the debut of The Traitors Ireland later this year, the first seasons of the UK, US and Australian version of the global hit are available to view on the RTÉ Player. The triple whammy gives Irish viewers a chance to get to know the psychological reality competition, with The Traitors UK season one also airing on RTÉ2 from 2 July. The show sees a group of strangers arrive at a remote castle to play the ultimate game of deception, betrayal and trust, all in the hope of winning a cash prize. But, hidden amongst them are the Traitors, who will attempt to secretly murder a player every night, without getting caught. It's up to the others, `the Faithfuls', to try to detect who the Traitors are, and banish them from the game, before they become their next victim. Filming has concluded on The Traitors Ireland and it will air on RTÉ One and the RTÉ Player this Autumn with Derry Girls star Siobhán McSweeney as host and Slane Castle as the venue. The show will feature contestants from all around the country, following a national casting call for applications last year. In The Traitors UK, 22 strangers descend upon a remote Scottish castle, with Claudia Winkleman as presenter in a game of strategy and suspicion. The Traitors US is hosted by Scottish actor Alan Cumming and sees 20 players face off in the ultimate murder mystery game, where manipulation is key and a cash prize is up for grabs. 24 contestants enter a grand heritage hotel for The Traitors Australia to form uneasy alliances and brave psychological challenges to claim a cash prize with Rodger Corser as host. Since its launch in the Netherlands in 2021, The Traitors format has had 30 international versions and numerous returning seasons. Hit adaptations of the format include the Emmy-winning US version for NBC Universal's streaming service Peacock and BBC One's BAFTA-winning version in the UK, which drew in 8 million viewers for the season two finale. The US versions will return for a third, fourth and fifth season and the UK version has been commissioned for a fourth season and celebrity version.
