Glastonbury Festival 2025 ends after weekend of controversy and surprises
The 2025 edition of Glastonbury Festival has come to an end after a weekend of controversial moments and surprise performances. 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."

Glastonbury Festival 2025 ends after weekend of controversy and surprises
Punk duo Bob Vylan and Irish 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. Bobby Vylan, of Bob Vylan, led crowds on the festival's West Holts Stage in chants of 'death, death to the IDF', before a member of Irish rap trio Kneecap suggested fans 'start a riot' outside his bandmate's upcoming court appearance, and led the crowd on chants of 'f*** Keir Starmer'. Mr Starmer had said in the run-up to the festival that he thought Kneecap's set was not 'appropriate' at Glastonbury.

‘Helen from Wales' hailed ‘hero of free speech' after live stream of Kneecap at Glastonbury hits two million
Helen Wilson, a vegan café owner from Swansea and a Glastonbury regular for 25 years, stepped in when the BBC chose not to broadcast Belfast rappers Kneecap's set live on TV. She decided to live stream the performance on TikTok, sharing it directly with her followers. Nearly two million people have interacted with the TikTok live stream of the performance, which the BBC has since released in an edited form on their iPlayer platform. 'I can't really believe the attention this has got, It's been crazy, but it shows that maybe the BBC got it wrong,' she told the Belfast Telegraph. "There were an awful lot of people who wanted to see Kneecap on the Glastonbury stage. 'I have always believed in the right to free speech. 'But we're faced with being fed an edited version of events by mainstream media. "When I heard Kneecap were not going to be shown as part of the BBC broadcast I just thought I'd stream it live and see what happened. 'I'd been taking part in a pro-Palestine rally earlier and really wanted to see Kneecap. I've been a big fan for a while and admire their support for free speech and stance against social injustice. 'I was thinking that if the BBC say they won't broadcast their performance then where will this censorship stop? Next year it will be someone else. 'I started the stream live on TikTok and thought maybe a few hundred might watch along. I looked at my phone after a few minutes and there were over 7,000 watching and the number was rising so I just had to keep going.' Helen said she had been working at the festival with a sustainable waste management company, but had arranged some time off to ensure she could catch Kneecap's performance. 'I've been following their story and wanted to show people what the BBC were trying to block out,' she said. At it's peak, over 1.8 million had liked her live stream and it has since been shared across many more platforms, turning her into an overnight celebrity. 'I got a name check on stage from Kneecap which was remarkable,' she said after they band called her 'a legend'. 'At the end my phone was overheating, it was incredibly hot but I wasn't going to let it go. This was to highlight a much wider issue, the genocide in Gaza.' Glastonbury has been contacted for comment. Its website states: 'No live performances may be recorded without the Festival's prior written permission. Where granted, further consent is usually required from the artist and, where applicable, their record label in order to use or disseminate such recorded performances. "Rights, if granted, are typically limited to a specific use and programme, with no archive rights. A copy may be required for the Festival's archive, and location/facility fees may apply.' 'That doesn't worry me,' said Helen. 'Some things are too important not to be heard. 'I don't agree with artists being silenced – when institutions avoid politically outspoken artists it's up to the fans to make sure their voices are still heard.'
