Glastonbury day four: Who is playing and how hot will it get?
Festival-goers are in for another hot one today, as day four of Glastonbury 2025 kicks off with sunshine on the forecast.
Acts gracing the Pyramid Stage today will include John Fogerty, Raye, and Neil Young and the Chrome Hearts, as well as a mystery "Patchwork" performance.
Over on the Other Stage, big crowds are expected for Charli XCX and the Ezra Collective.
Artist Doechii will be making her first Glastonbury appearance on the West Holts Stage this evening.
In his first performance at Glastonbury since 2019, Tom Odell has a set scheduled later tonight for Woodsies, which featured a surprise pre-lunchtime set from Lorde on Saturday 27 June.
The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) and the Met Office's amber heat-health alert is still in force today, with people urged to be cautious in the sun.
Temperatures are expected to reach highs of 26 degrees today, with the mercury set to rise closer to 30 on Sunday (29 June).
The UKHSA South West has issued the following advice for those at Glastonbury Festival:
Stay hydrated and avoid excessive alcohol consumption, particularly in hot weather as this may dehydrate you. There are over 800 water taps across the site, carry a refillable bottle with you throughout the day
Seek shade wherever you can, wear (or improvise) a hat, and wear sunglasses to protect your eyes
Loosen your clothing and allow the air to circulate
Reapply sunscreen and cover up, Factor 30 or above is good, but covering your skin is better
If attending with a small child, turn their pushchair away from the sun rather than covering it for shade, covering the pushchair will increase the temperature inside
Know the symptoms of heat exhaustion and heatstroke and what to do if you or someone else has them
If you or someone you know feels ill or faints, seek help from stewards, security or the medical services on site.

Matty Healy's mother Denise Welch grins alongside pop megastar Charli XCX at Glastonbury ahead of her son's divisive headlining set with The 1975
Denise Welch made an unexpected friend at Glastonbury just hours before her son Matty Healy headlined the Pyramid Stage. The Loose Women star, 67, rubbed shoulders with the BRAT hitmaker, 32, as she attended the festival to show support for her rock star son. Denise took to Instagram to share a photograph of herself beaming alongside Charli as she socialised with the top musicians at the festival. She captioned the sun-soaked snap: 'Talking about my BRAT flag.' Denise also shared photographs with beauty expert Caroline Hirons and American model and musician Gabbriette. The trio looked like they were having the time of their lives as they sported matching white floral jackets. Denise went for a boho-chic look in a black dress, brown cowboy boots, and a black wide-cap hat studded with metal medallions. Denise, who shares Matty with ex-husband Tim Healy, beamed as she modeled a pink lip and matching fuscia-coloured nails. Gabbriette, 27, cut a stylish figure in cropped beige shorts, knee-high boots and an oversized pair of shades. The 1975 left Glastonbury fans divided as they took to the Pyramid stage on Friday to headline the first day of the festival at Worthy Farm in Somerset. In their first and only gig of the year, frontman Matty, 36, was in great spirits as he smoked a cigarette and drank a pint of Guinness before belting out a number of the band's biggest hits. However, their set split the opinions of those tuning in at the festival and at home, with some branding their performance 'bland', causing some to even switch off. While many took also aim at the swaggering lead singer, known for his outlandish behaviour, calling him 'insufferable' and 'about as rock & roll as Aled Jones.' Elsewhere, at-home viewers were left raging over BBC technical issues, with the broadcaster's iPlayer service appearing to 'crash' during the set. The 1975 left Glastonbury fans divided as they took to the Pyramid stage on Friday to headline the first day of the festival at Worthy Farm in Somerset Taking to X, fans made their feelings very clear on Matty and The 1975's headlining performance. They penned: 'How bad were #The1975 at #Glastonbury2025 a bloke who spent the first half hour staggering around drinking pints & smoking tabs, and the rest of the time faffing about with his hair, while being in the most boring band going, surely #Glastonbury can't get any worse, can it. 'I saw #The1975 in their very early days, was very underwhelmed then. Gave them another go this evening, awful. Songs all sound the same and a terrible front man. There were huge gaps around us near the front. #glastonbury got this one wrong sadly.' 'Matty Healy trying to play the archetypal rock & roller with the leather jacket, pint of Guinness and a cigarette while simultaneously performing some of the blandest music imaginable is quite the contradiction. About as rock & roll as Aled Jones.' 'Admittedly, I like #The1975's first record, but Matty Healy is so obsessed with trying to be edgy (he's not) that it just comes across as Liam Gallagher caricature. His band's headlining #Glastonbury yet he can't, not for one night, pretend to be anything other than insufferable.' 'Never seen #the1975 live before on TV. You have 1 chance to headline #glastonbury & the lead singer cares more about his Guinness & fags, & staggering all over the stage like an 18 Yr old on their first pint... The songs are wishy washy & bland. Is this it?!' However, in contrast, there were a number of fans who actually loved the set, hailing it as 'epic', with many going on to praise Matty as a frontman. They wrote on X: 'Just saw #The1975 they were so good.' 'Well that was bloody amazing I'm a snotty mess now!! About you was the perfect way to finish it.' Taking to X, fans made their feelings very clear on Matty and The 1975's headlining performance 'Matt Healy a modern front man. That was excellent.' 'I had heard of #the1975 but wouldn't have known any of their songs. Enjoyed the performance, the wide variety of genres they cover, and the set overall. Worthy (pun intended) headliners. I'll be looking out for them in the future.' 'If you don't know the 1975 then I get that it might have been lost on you, but for me that was a f***ing epic show. What a frontman, what a band.' Elsewhere, the highly-anticipated performance was interrupted for those watching at home as BBC iPlayer's livestream appeared to repeatedly crash. Many viewers took to X in their droves to complain about the constant buffering and glitching throughout the headline show. '@BBCiPlayer what's going on this evening, freezing, glitching very unpleasant experience. Please and try and sort it out for the rest of the weekend. Feels like we gone back to the old days of the modem with these problems :(' '#Iplayer is a bit annoying what's with all the glitching @BBCiPlayer #Glastonbury #The1975.' 'would be great if @bbciplayer didnt keep crashing out on the #glastonbury coverage.' 'Ffs @BBCiPlayer I pay my licence and just want to watch #Glastonbury without any glitches but every 10 minutes it has error! Not impressed.' 'how can i watch the 1975 when the f**king stream keeps crashing every 5 minutes @BBCiPlayer.' Matty - the son of Loose Women's Denise Welch and Benidorm's Tim Healy - is famous for his provocative stage presence - and his Glastonbury set was no different. The English singer-songwriter was seen belting out hits while puffing away on a cigarette and sipping from a pint of Guinness. During his set, Matty, who briefly dated popstar Taylor Swift in 2023, claimed to be his generation's 'best songwriter' in a tongue and cheek moment. The Cheshire-formed band, backed with a saxophone, opened with Happiness from 2022's Being Funny In A Foreign Language, with Matty wearing a black leather jacket, white T-shirt and blue jeans, with a pint of stout in his hand on the Pyramid Stage. After performing Part Of The Band, sat on a stool and smoked while sipping his drink, Healy said: 'What this moment is making me realise is that I probably am the best songwriter of my generation. 'The best what they say, a poet, ladies and gentlemen, is what I am. 'Generational words, and I just wanted to remind you, over the next couple of minutes, these lyrics are poetry, I believe.' The band then launched into Chocolate from their 2013 self-titled debut, before Healy remarked, 'I was only joking about being a poet' at its conclusion. Made up of four school friends, the group, comprised of singer Matty, bassist Ross MacDonald, guitarist Adam Hann and drummer George Daniel, were headlining the festival for the first time. The English singer-songwriter was seen belting out hits while puffing away on a cigarette and sipping from a pint of Guinness Midway through the set, Matty told festival goers: 'Use your platform, that's what they say, right?' He continued: 'People who are watching this may, I don't know, they might be disappointed at the lack of politics in this show and our forthcoming shows, and probably a few shows, because I always know it's a conscious decision, and we honestly don't want our legacy to be one of politics. 'We want it to be that of love and friendship, because we and I'm not trying to be too earnest, but you can go out into the world, and there's loads of politics everywhere. And I think we don't need more politics, we need more love and friendship. 'And I know that's really basic, but if you are a young kid and you are inspired by like about this band or something like that, don't aspire to like play a stage or be a certain size, aspire for like this level of friendship and love in what you do and you'll never fail and I love you, thank you so much.' Love Me, the lead single from 2016's I Like It When You Sleep, For You Are So Beautiful Yet So Unaware Of It, prompts the first sing-a-long from the crowd, with Healy pushing guitarist Hann to the front, announcing: 'Ladies and gentleman, in 2025 with zero irony, a guitar solo.' Their stage set-up included a car, which Matty got into to sing Somebody Else while smoking a cigarette, before getting out during the song and walking on a travelator. While performing She's American, Matty dipped into The Backstreet Boys I Want It That Way, before returning to his own 2016 song. Before Paris, the singer declared 'this is my favourite 1975 song', and prior to playing Robbers from the band's debut album, he said: 'For the first time in my life I don't know what to say.' The band ended their set with About You from Being Funny In A Foreign Language. Before the song, Matty said: 'Ladies and gentlemen it's very cool to be mysterious but I think it's cooler to be honest and we're not going anywhere, we're not going anywhere, everything's going to be fine.' Earlier in the day, festivalgoers 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 performance at the festival during which he struggled to manage his Tourette syndrome symptoms. After performing Part Of The Band, sat on a stool and smoked while sipping his drink, Healy said: 'What this moment is making me realise is that I probably am the best songwriter of my generation' Matty was seen wearing a black leather jacket, white t-shirt and blue jeans, with a pint of stout in his hand on the Pyramid Stage Among the celebrities spotted at the event so far included Barbie star Margot Robbie, 34, with her producer husband Tom Ackerley, eight months after giving birth to their first child. Yesterday, moustachioed Sherlock star Benedict Cumberbatch, 48, read out letters from around the world in the Greenpeace area in a feature called 'Letters Live'. Meanwhile, thousands of unsuspecting fans were treated to surprise performances from Lewis Capaldi and Lorde yesterday. Lewis choked back tears as he declared 'I'm back baby' during an emotional return to Glastonbury's iconic Pyramid Stage. The Scottish singer, 28, was greeted with cheers from the huge Worthy Farm crowd, two years after his battle with Tourettes left him unable to finish his performance at the festival and led to a career hiatus. Delighted to back in front of an audience he tearfully said: 'Two years ago I wasn't sure if I'd ever do this again, but I'm back baby!''. Lewis sung a number of his famous hits, before once chocking back tears as he performed brand new single Survive, which highlights the difficult period in his career following his last Glastonbury gig. Fans in the crowd could be seen crying and calling out his name before joining him in a rendition of megahit Someone You Loved. In his emotional speech, Lewis said: ' Glastonbury it's good to be back. Won't say too much up here today as if I do I might start crying, but I can't thank you enough for coming here and being with here'. 'Second times a charm hey! It's a short set today but just wanted to come and finish what I couldn't last time, also this was like the worst kept f*****g secret ever'. Following his set Lewis took to Instagram with footage of his performance alongside a post which read: 'Glastonbury it's so incredible to be back, thank you so much for having me x' Fans and famous friends rushed to the comments to welcome the talented musician back into the public eye. Sam Fender said: 'Return of The King', while Alan Shearer said: 'Love It': Paddy McGuinness gushed: 'Governor' and Jade Thirlwall shared a slew of loving emojis. Following his emotional set at Worthy Farm in June 2023, the singer took time off to focus on his mental health and to 'adjust to the impact' of his Tourette's diagnosis. Also performing on Glastonbury's first day was CMAT, Lola Young, Alanis Morissette, as well Lorde with her own secret set. Meanwhile Rizzle Kicks also made a return to the stage after their own 11 year hiatus and were joined by a surprise guest. Harley 'Sylvester' Alexander-Sule and Jordan Stephens performed the biggest hits, with the later introducing his mum on stage during their track Mama Do the Hump. Pointing to his parent, who was wearing a green wig, he exclaimed: 'Give it up for my mum!' as the crowd went wild.

Dave Grohl 'spotted' at Glastonbury as anticipation builds for Neil Young's set
Glastonbury 2025 has kicked off this week and music enthusiasts can expect to see some of their favourite musicians across the festival All eyes will be on Neil Young tonight as he headlines the Pyramid stage - and speculation is raging if the rocker will bring out any special guests. Rumours are sweeping the festival - especially after unconfirmed reports Dave Grohl was spotted on site. The Foo Fighters front man is a massive Young fan and credits the rocker as inspiring his previous band Nirvana. Grohl has said previously: "Not only is Neil a hero today because he's always walked it like he's talked it, and he has the history and integrity of a real legend, he's amazing, but, he's an incredible songwriter." Could anyone else take to the stage with Neil? Well some fans wonder whether Jon Bon Jovi could make an appearance after spotting him at Queen's Club for the tennis last week. The star has covered Young's song Rockin in the Free World before, and like Grohl, is a huge fan of the Canadian legend. Bon Jovi has form for duets - he was due to join Bruce Springsteen on stage at his BST Hyde Park show in London in 2023, but had to pull out after recovering from vocal surgery. Of course, Neil is playing BST too in two weeks - so could any potential Glastonbury duet be a warm-up to that too. While the BBC iPlayer is geared up to stream live from the main five stages, Neil Young's act was not expected to air – but that has since changed. A BBC spokesperson previously said: "On Saturday on BBC iPlayer, our Glastonbury Channel and five streams for the main stages will bring a range of live performances to audiences." They added: "At the artist's request, we won't be livestreaming Neil Young's set. Our plans, including those for our TV highlights shows and on-demand coverage, continue to be finalised right up to and during the festival." But, the star later had a change of heart as a BBC spokesperson later told the Mirror: "We are delighted to confirm that Neil Young's headline set from Glastonbury on Saturday will be broadcast live to audiences across the UK on the BBC." BBC iPlayer is due to offer over 90 hours of performances over the festival with live streams from the five main stages - Pyramid, Other, West Holts, Woodsies and The Park. This means that viewers are able to create their own list of must-see acts and plan their weekend watching schedule. Sets from the Pyramid Stage will be available to stream live in Ultra High Definition and in British Sign Language. While those who prefer to listen on the radio can tune into BBC Radio 6 Music, BBC Radio 1 and 1Xtra, BBC Radio 2, BBC Radio 4 and BBC Sounds. Saturday's line-up has a mystery act listed as 'Patchwork' performing from 6.15pm to 7.15pm on the Pyramid Stages. Speculation is rife that it could be anyone from Haim to Pulp to Chappell Roan but no one has been confirmed yet.
