Glastonbury Festival fans say one stage will be 'packed' due to 'insane' line-up
This year's Glastonbury Festival line-up suggests some stages will be totally crammed – as people are raving about the "insane" line-up at Worthy Farm.
A post on the r/GlastonburyFestival Reddit page sent fans into a frenzy of anticipation for the promised acts. Artists like Cheetah, Oppidan, and Baby J are set to hit the stage, yet Reddit users speculated that the Temple stage will scarcely contain the masses for one highly anticipated act. A Reddit user expressed their excitement, writing: "Bullet Tooth B2B Silva Bumpa will be unbelievable, very busy but unbelievable."
Another fan added: "Need to commit early and stay in there otherwise there's no chance... got stiffed last year for DJ EZ, got nowhere near getting in."
And a third was thrilled by the line-up, writing: "Line-up is too good. will be impossible to get into as per."
Forecasting a huge turnout, some also predict the 'Barry Can't Swim Presents...' set to be swarmed by attendees.
An individual posited: "Barry will be mental packed. Really not sure if is clever to put him on Temple. I remember the chaos of Fred again here back in 23. Personally not a good arena choice for crowd."
Another agreed, writing: "He was rammed on Park Stage last year, Temple will be nuts."
However, a Redditor offered a counterpoint, suggesting the crowd might just manage, drawing parallels to Fred Again's performance the previous year.
They commented: "It won't be anywhere near as bad as Fred or Virji B2B EZ last year. It's a takeover with people from his label as well so it will last a while (6 hours?!?) so more time for people to go in and out. If it was just a 1hr Barry set on his own then yeah it would be rammed and dangerous."
Others believe it will be packed regardless of who playing the stage – as Barry Can't Swim is such a huge name.
One person remarked: "It will be because it has the name 'Barry Can't Swim', and people read 'Barry Can't Swim'."
While another highlighted: "Well, the labelling is there: Barry Can't Swim (presents). You and I are avid careful readers, but normal people do not even know what a label showcase is."
Who is headlining Glastonbury 2025?
Later this year, 210,000 music lovers will head to Worthy Farm in Somerset for five days, taking in all of the music as well as everything the festival site has to offer.
This year, bosses have confirmed that Glastonbury will run from June 25 to June 29. This year, tickets for Glastonbury sold out in just 35 minutes, despite nobody knowing who was performing.
This year, The 1975, Neil Young and Olivia Rodrigo will headline. Meanwhile, Sir Rod Stewart will play the legends slot, and was the first name to be announced as part of the huge line-up.

Man spends two days looking for his lost waller, but can you see it?
A frustrated social media user spent two full days searching for his missing wallet... only to discover it was right in front of his eyes the entire time. Sharing a bathroom photo where the cash holder went missing on Reddit, the snap quickly went viral as the Internet obsessively tried to spot the camouflaged item. At first glance, the image shows a perfectly ordinary bathroom, with some people calling the photo one of the best optical illusions they've seen in months while others spotted the wallet on the floor in seconds. Reddit users dove into the challenge - with many admitting they had absolutely no clue what they were even supposed to be looking for and had the caption not mentioned a wallet they'd have been stumped. One person said: 'If you didn't say this, I would've never understood this photo,' one person confessed. Another joked: 'As a dude, most of our wallets are just big black squares, so it's immediately where my mind went.' One said: 'I literally didn't register that it was supposed to look like the floor pattern until I got to the comments. I was so confused. Others claimed they'd never have spotted it: 'If I walked in that bathroom, I'd probably never see it,' wrote one. 'You'd probably step on it and find it immediately,' another added. 'Oh so that's where I lost my wallet five years ago…'

Woman who livestreamed Kneecap Glastonbury set targeted by online abuse
A woman who livestreamed Kneecap's Glastonbury festival set to 2 million people on TikTok has described the 'obscene' abuse she says has received in the aftermath, including people calling her a Nazi. Helen Wilson, a Swansea-based yoga teacher who also runs the Ground Plant Based Coffee cafe, said she had been sent a lot of personal insults, but that she had received 'hundreds and hundreds times more support than negativity'. It came after she held up her phone in the crowd to stream the set by the Irish rap trio last Saturday, which the BBC refused to show live, over what it said were efforts to ensure it 'meets our editorial guidelines'. The BBC later made an edited version available on iPlayer, though the broadcaster did not respond to the Guardian when asked what had been cut out. Wilson said: 'I just thought, I'm just going to livestream it because the BBC aren't showing it. And I really disagreed with that. I did not think for a moment that over 2 million people would see it.' It was only her second TikTok live stream on her handle HelenWilsonWales – her first, about her weight loss, had no viewers at all – and initially she had not realised how many people were watching because the sun was shining on her phone screen. 'But I could see that when you're doing a live stream, loads of messages pop up and people can talk to you. So the screen was going mental. People were just like ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping. 'And I was like: 'Oh, my god, something's happening here,' and so I just knew I had to carry on. People were saying to me: 'Please keep going, do what you can, please keep going.' And then that was it,' said Wilson, who grew up in Somerset and was working at the festival. The stream was spreading through word of mouth, as viewers sent it to their friends and family, and Wilson found out later that at one point it was playing on a big screen in a pub in the band's home town. She told the Guardian: 'I have had a lot of trolling. When you rang, I was just in the middle of deleting some obscene comments off my business Facebook page.' 'There was somebody on Instagram just saying he sent me a message saying: 'You're just a wrinkled old woman looking for attention.'' '[In a tabloid newspaper] I've been referred to as a middle-aged woman. Like, what has that got to do with anything?' said the 44-year-old. She said: 'This is about the genocide in Palestine, and this is about the failure of our government to act, to do anything about it.' Wilson added: 'More people need to know what is going on in Palestine. And we shouldn't be censoring bands under freedom of speech, full stop. We shouldn't be censoring anybody who is trying to raise awareness of the atrocities that are taking place.' Afterwards, Kneecap called her a 'legend' and offered her free tickets to any of their shows. On Saturday, while supporting Fontaines DC in Finsbury Park, the band once again led 45,000 people in chants of 'fuck Keir Starmer'. The band were far from alone in their sentiments at Glastonbury – dozens of acts and figures at the festival spoke out in support of Palestine, including CMAT, the Libertines, Gary Lineker, Joy Crookes, TV on the Radio, Sorry and Paloma Faith. Kneecap were also backed by Emily and Michael Eavis, the festival's organisers, with Emily telling the BBC that 'everyone is welcome', before their set.

Black Sabbath crowd boo 'controversial' supergroup at Ozzy Osbourne festival
The first supergroup of Black Sabbath's Back to the Beginning festival were booed by some members of the event's crowd yesterday due to one of its controversial members The inaugural supergroup performance at the Black Sabbath gig yesterday received a polarised response, with a portion of the audience expressing their disapproval through boos. The concert saw some of the biggest names in metal and rock music come together to honour Ozzy Osbourne as he performed for the final time with Black Sabbath. Huge music stars came together to perform a number of Black Sabbath's hits at his Back to the Beginning festival - however as the first supergroup arrived on stage, some fans weren't too impressed. "We got our first supergroup of the day. Lzzy Hale is fronting it, one of the only - if not the only - woman on today's bill," Birmingham Live 's Kirsty Bosley reported. "Members of Faith No More (Mike Bordin), Megadeth (David Ellefson) Ozzy Osbourne's legendary guitarist Jake E Lee. They're playing The Ultimate Sin by Ozzy." However, she noted that the entrance of a particular artist was met with negative reactions from the fans. She continued: "David Draiman from Disturbed is now joining them to huge boos from the crowd. He's caused controversy with his political opinions online and the crowd are not welcoming. "Despite boos, hands are still up in the air to clap along to the Draiman-fronted rendition of 1986 Ozzy track Shot In The Dark." Disturbed, widely recognised for their sombre cover of Simon and Garfunkel's The Sound of Silence, found their vocalist David Draiman at the centre of controversy post-Glastonbury earlier this week. Draiman released a video in which he criticised Bob Vylan after they chanted "death, death to the IDF" during their livestreamed set at Glastonbury. Posting on his Instagram page, Draiman said: " I just wanted to speak my mind a little bit about the events of this past weekend. "No one should ever use any stage at any festival anywhere in the world to incite hatred and violence against anyone. I think it's disgusting. I think it's irresponsible and contrary to the whole reason people get together at these festivals to begin with." He added: "More importantly, just from a human perspective, what exactly do you really think you're going to achieve here? You know, death to the IDF. Every citizen of the state of Israel has to serve. Every citizen. "So you're saying that the majority of world Jews should die, should be killed? That's what you're saying. Good luck with that. Iran saw how easy that wasn't so I'm not sure what you want, what you're trying to achieve other than virtue signalling and instant fame that this selling of Jew hatred has seen to gift everyone with these days."
