Glastonbury Festival 2025 will come to a close tonight with a headline set from Olivia Rodrigo, as well as performances from Rod Stewart and The Prodigy Glastonbury Festival 2025 is drawing to a close, but before Worthy Farm bids adieu to its festival-goers for another two years, there's still one more action-packed day to enjoy. Olivia Rodrigo will be taking centre stage at the Pyramid Stage tonight to wrap up the festival, making her the second youngest artist to headline this iconic stage, following Billie Eilish in 2022. Joining Olivia on Sunday, 29 June, the Legend's Tea Time slot will welcome back Rod Stewart. The Other Stage will see its finale with The Prodigy, while Overmono, Jorja Smith, and The Maccabees are set to perform on the other main stages. This year's festival has been headlined by The 1975, Neil Young, and Olivia Rodrigo, but there's plenty more to discover. If you're tuning in from home, you can still join in the fun with BBC's The Glastonbury Hits Channel, which has been streaming classic tracks and memorable performances. This can be accessed via iPlayer. BBC iPlayer is serving up over 90 hours of performances with live streams from the five main stages - Pyramid, Other, West Holts, Woodsies and The Park - allowing viewers to curate their own list of must-see acts and navigate their way through the weekend. Performances from the Pyramid Stage will be available to stream live in Ultra High Definition and in British Sign Language, reports Somerset Live. If you're more inclined towards radio, you can catch the action across BBC Radio 6 Music, BBC Radio 1 and 1Xtra, BBC Radio 2, BBC Radio 4 and BBC Sounds.

Glastonbury Festival 2025's Saturday line-up, headliners and set times
Glastonbury Festival 2025 is heading into day four with the likes of Neil Young and The Chrome Hearts, Charli XCX, Doechii and Scissor Sisters Day four of Glastonbury Festival 2025 is in full swing, with hundreds of thousands of revellers keeping the party alive into the weekend. Although the festival opened its gates to the public on Wednesday, Saturday, June 28 marks the second day that headlining acts are set to dazzle across the numerous stages. Last night saw The 1975 rock the Pyramid Stage, marking their first return to the festival in nearly a decade. Tonight's top billing is expected to be Neil Young and The Chrome Hearts, but there's been some confusion over whether fans at home will be able to tune in to his performance. While the BBC iPlayer is geared up to stream live from the main five stages, it remains uncertain if Neil Young's act will be broadcast for home viewers. A BBC spokesperson clarified: "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." In contrast, Charli XCX's headline performance on the Other Stage will be broadcast live on iPlayer and BBC One starting at 10.30pm. For those enjoying the festival from the comfort of their homes, the BBC's The Glastonbury Hits Channel offers a chance to dive into classic sets and iconic moments, all accessible through iPlayer, reports Somerset Live. BBC iPlayer is set to offer over 90 hours of performances with live streams from the five main stages - Pyramid, Other, West Holts, Woodsies and The Park. This will allow viewers to create their own list of must-see acts and plan their weekend. Sets from the Pyramid Stage will be available to stream live in Ultra High Definition and in British Sign Language. For those who prefer radio, they 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. Below are the line-ups and set times for all the main stages, along with a few extras. Live feeds will be available from the main five stages.

Holyrood passes legislation to abolish SQA exams body
The Scottish Qualifications Authority (SQA) is set to be scrapped and replaced by a new body called Qualifications Scotland. The Education (Scotland) Bill was passed by 69 votes to 47 late on Wednesday evening, following two days of debate. As well as abolishing the SQA, the bill also sets out plans for a new chief inspector of education, who will be tasked with inspecting nurseries, schools and colleges across Scotland. READ NEXT: Scotland sees 'rare' weather phenomenon as weather set to shift READ NEXT: Banned driver who left friend in wheelchair for life after crash jailed The bill states that Qualification Scotland will have to give equal weighting to both British Sign Language (BSL) and the Gaelic language. It also outlines that the new body must consider the needs of pupils who use BSL or learn in BSL. The new body is expected to be up and running in the autumn, after this year's exam results are released. It comes almost five years after the 2020 exams scandal, where marks for more than 124,000 pupils were downgraded after exams had to be scrapped as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic. Speaking as the legislation was passed, Education Secretary Jenny Gilruth said the bill would "fundamentally create a new and a different type of organisation which works with the teaching profession differently". Jenny Gilruth And speaking after the vote, Gilruth said: 'The successful passage of this legislation shows this Government is serious about implementing the changes needed to drive improvement across Scotland's education and skills system. "The creation of a new national qualifications body is about building the right conditions for reform to flourish; the new body will ensure that knowledge and experience of pupils and teachers are at the heart of our national qualifications offering." Gilruth added that the new chief inspector would have "greater independence and the power to set the frequency and focus of inspections". 'Throughout this process, I have been determined to work with other parties on this vital legislation. I am also grateful to teaching unions and other organisations across civic Scotland who contributed to its development," she continued. 'Taken together our major programme of education and skills reform will bring about the changes needed to meet the needs of future generations of young people." The bill was backed by the Scottish Greens, who said that the new body "will put the voices of teachers and students at its heart". The party's education spokesperson, Ross Greer, who has previously campaigned for an overhaul of the exams body, said he was pleased MSPs had voted for "this fresh start in Scottish education". Ross Greer He said: "Senior leadership at the SQA was given the opportunity to change over many years, but refused to do so. "Replacing the organisation with one legally required to listen to teachers and students will end this constant cycle of scandals. "Now we can begin rebuilding the trust which was so completely destroyed over the last decade and put the focus back on supporting students." But he added that such reform needed to be followed up with "urgent work" to reduce teachers' workload and an overhaul of the "Victorian-era" end of term exams system towards a model of ongoing assessment. Greer also hit out at Scottish Labour, who voted down the bill on the basis it did not go far enough. "Labour's vote to protect the scandal-plagued and unaccountable SQA is bizarre," he said. 'How can anyone look at the mistakes of recent years and think it can continue? We need real change for students and teachers, which this bill will deliver." Both Labour and the Tories voted down the bill on Wednesday. Pam Duncan-Glancy, Scottish Labour's education spokesperson, said: 'We needed a qualifications system fit for the future, one that respects the efforts of learners, supports the judgment of teachers, and earns the trust of employers and universities. 'We needed a curriculum that is broad and inclusive, we needed an inspectorate that can challenge where necessary but also celebrate excellence. But on reform this is a job unfinished.' Meanwhile, Scottish Tory education spokesperson Miles Briggs said the new body was "little more than a rebrand of the SQA". 'The SQA needed an overhaul, not a cosmetic makeover, and the changes proposed fall way short of what is required to ensure the organisation can operate effectively and is properly accountable," he added.
