Glastonbury 2025 Saturday live: The fun continues!
Shake off your hangover and get out of your sweaty tent because it's day two of Glastonbury 2025. That's right, if yesterday was the starter, then today is the main course with some of the most iconic acts in music set to prove why Glasto is the world's greatest music festival. Today's all-star lineup includes Neil Young And The Chrome Hearts on the Pyramid Stage, you've got the Scissor Sisters on Woodsies, and (my personal fave) Doechii on West Holts, among many more. This afternoon, we'll finally learn who the mysterious secret act 'Patchwork' is as well – after Lewis Capaldi's emotional performance last night, the favourite is now Chappel Roan, but there's speculation mounting (in the Metro office at least) that it may be Robbie Williams. As for the weather today, well, it's expected to be a hot one with highs of 24–25°C. So with that in mind, bring your bucket hat, some suncream, and maybe a waterproof, just in case (you never know with British summers). Stick with us for rolling updates, surprise guests, backstage gossip, and everything going down at Worthy Farm. Sort: Newest first Oldest first June 28, 2025 7:09 am Saturday begins Good morning campers and those keeping up at home. I hope you slept well. We're up bright and early to bring you the latest from Worthy Farm, including all the big on-stage moments, backstage gossip, and our on-the-scene team will be letting you know what the crowd are up to… Oh, and because we're British, we'll be letting you know what's going on with the weather, as well. It'd be rude not to!

TV tonight: Charli xcx is about to send the Glastonbury crowd wild
10.30pm, BBC One You're not bothered about not being there either, right? Why would we be when we can enjoy one of the world's best music festivals from our living rooms, safe in the knowledge that a nice, clean loo is next door … Anyway, the BBC has coverage all day but – despite not being the headline act (Neil Young is playing the Pyramid) – Saturday night is all about lime-green queen of brat summer, Charli xcx, who's about to send the crowd wild at the Other stage. Hollie Richardson 4.55pm, Channel 4 A cooling cucumber-based green gazpacho sounds like a heatwave hero for the tastebuds – so take note of Jamie Oliver's recipe here. Other summer ideas include barbecued sweet peppers, plum sauce and crispy duck, and a showstopping sour cherry frangipane tart. HR 8pm, Channel 5 The irrepressible wanderer heads to the Mediterranean island for the weekend, starting in the gorgeous capital Palermo – where he, naturally, has dinner with a duchess. Also on the agenda: exploring the island's Mafia ties, discovering ancient sites and watching the revival of a grand palazzo. HR 8pm, BBC Four Glastonbury still hasn't run out of old pop giants whose aura will give an evening in the Somerset sun a whole new energy. The 67-year-old king of the Numanoids makes his festival debut on the Park stage – Cars and Are Friends Electric? will get the crowd singing, but Numan's eccentric magnetism will be just as captivating. Jack Seale 11pm, ITV1 Vanessa and Scott interrogate the suspects about Leo's kidnapping ('help convince our American friends you're just a finance manager having a really bad day') but come up with handfuls of air. Meanwhile, Sean travels from Ireland to England, leaving a trail of destruction in his wake. Then, a startling video emerges. Ali Catterall 11.45pm, BBC One The tennis legend's account of her 27-year career reaches the 2000s, when the murder of her older sister, Yetunde Prince, precipitated a number of dark years, during which she dropped out of the tennis Top 100. Then came the 2007 Australian Open, and one of the all-time-great comebacks. Ellen E Jones Glory, 12:30am, Channel 4 Ed Zwick's recent memoir Hits, Flops, and Other Illusions has much to recommend it (not least the astonishing bridge-burning chapter about his involvement with Shakespeare in Love), but chief among its qualities is how much it will make you want to rewatch Glory. Zwick's film about an African American regiment in the civil war is a true epic. The script swings for the fences. Cinematically it spills from the screen. And, let's not forget, this is the movie that announced Denzel Washington as a major presence. He still may not have bettered this performance. Stuart Heritage Horseracing: Newcastle, 1.30, ITV1 With the Northumberland Plate, plus racing from York and the Curagh. Football: Uefa European Under-21's Championship, 7.30pm, Channel 4 The final from Slovakia.

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.

Your front-row pass to who the performers will be watching at Glastonbury
Hello from Worthy Farm, home to Glastonbury festival! As is tradition, this newsletter is coming to you from a sparsely apportioned cabin behind the festival's legendary Pyramid stage, which this weekend will feature headline sets from The 1975, Neil Young and Olivia Rodrigo. The festival proper is kicking off right about now, though really it has been whirring away for two days already. The official opening was on Wednesday night: a circus spectacular on the Pyramid stage featuring jugglers, drummers, fire-flinging dancers and a bloke doing handstands on a fairy-light-strewn bike suspended above the audience. The extravaganza came courtesy of the talented folk from Glastonbury's theatre and circus fields, who were tasked with opening the festival for the first time since the early 90s. (Incidentally, the Theatre and Circus Fields have a pretty remarkable origin story: in 1971 Winston Churchill's granddaughter Arabella was being relentlessly hounded by the paparazzi in London, having created a bit of a stink by daring to speak out against the Vietnam war. She legged it to Somerset, and there helped one of her father Randolph's former employees, Andrew Kerr, and some farmer named Michael Eavis, launch a certain summer festival. Churchill would devise the Theatre and Circus fields a decade later and handled their running until her death in 2007. You'd imagine she would have been thrilled to see her charges back doing their daredevil stuff on the Pyramid.) The theatre and circus folk will be doing their thing all weekend, part of the more than 3,000-strong army of performers at this year's festival. As ever the Guardian is your one-stop shop for coverage of the biggest and best of those performances. All manner of goodies have already been published: an interview with the band Keir Starmer wants banned from the festival, Kneecap; music editor Ben Beaumont-Thomas's tips for the best acts to see this year; Glasto returnees, including Billy Bragg and Kate Nash, recalling their festival debuts; and, most importantly of all for those of you at home, an exhaustive viewing guide. Then, all weekend we'll have news, reviews, galleries, features and of course the big Glastonbury liveblog, which runs from lunchtime to after midnight today, tomorrow and Sunday. That will be topped off on Monday by a special Glastonbury edition of the Guardian's G2 newspaper supplement, with a full exhaustive review of the festival. Drink it all in because next year Glastonbury takes a year off, to allow the farm to recover from hundreds of thousands of people stomping all over it. I'm dreading it already, but let's worry about that later and make the most of this year first. To help maximise your enjoyment of the festival, whether on site or at home, we've asked some of this year's performers to share the one act they're most excited to see this year … Tom Odell | Eternally boyish indie pop singer songwriter 'I'm such a huge fan of CMAT – Ciara is an incredible artist and such a fun person to be around. She supported me last year in Amsterdam at the Ziggo Dome, and we all ended up getting incredibly drunk in the backstage bar afterwards. I'm so happy to see her absolutely smashing it right now, and I can't wait to watch her perform on the Pyramid Stage!' Tom Odell plays Woodsies 9pm, Saturday Lambrini Girls | Sardonic, sweary Brighton punk trio 'I'm really looking forward to see Turnstile take the Other Stage [4:30 PM Sunday]. They're undeniably one of the most hyped bands right now, and it's for good reason. Their live shows are beautifully orchestrated chaos. I really respect their willingness to evolve. They've pushed the boundaries of hardcore, embracing pop and indie influences without losing their edge. It's ruffled some feathers because a lot of hardcore fans want to gatekeep hardcore – and that is what I love most about it. Punk was never meant to be exclusive, Turnstile are making it accessible for everyone!'Lambrini Girls play Left Field, 7.50pm Saturday Sign up to The Guide Get our weekly pop culture email, free in your inbox every Friday after newsletter promotion Billie Marten | Soulful jazz folk, straight from Yorkshire 'There are oodles of treats to watch this weekend; Four Tet, Father John Misty, Amyl and the Sniffers, Nilüfer Yanya, Jalen Ngonda … but it's all about Beth Gibbons for me. What a hero! I grew up listening to her aching vocals on the Portishead records, and then her solo work. Mysteries is a masterpiece in writing, structure and production. Having never seen her live, only through the shiny barrier of YouTube and TV, I am totally ready for one hell of an arresting performance. Long reign Beth!' Billie plays the Acoustic Stage, 5pm today. Ros Atkins | BBC analysis editor and rave master 'My head's spinning from the array of DJs I'd like to see. But one time I won't be listening to them is 3.15 on Saturday afternoon. Instead, I'll be at the Greenpeace stage. Last year, I was a guest on Huw Stephens' Roundtable on BBC 6 Music and one of the songs we reviewed was Antarctica by Divorce. It stopped me in my tracks and I've been a fan ever since. There's a brilliant creativity and range to their songwriting and sound; I also find their tracks really affecting – in a good way! I've not seen Divorce live and plan to put that right. Emotions may run high.'Ros played the Stonebridge bar on Thursday.

Neil Young bans BBC from broadcasting Glastonbury set
Neil Young has banned the BBC from broadcasting his headline set at Glastonbury. The 79-year-old rocker will take to the Pyramid Stage with his band The Chrome Hearts on Saturday but those watching on TV will see Charli XCX's performance on The Other Stage which takes place at the same time. A spokesperson for the BBC 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. "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." The announcement comes after Young threatened to pull out of Glastonbury earlier this year due to BBC's involvement as he bemoaned how the UK festival had fallen "under corporate control". The veteran rocker wrote in an open letter on his website in January: "The Chrome Hearts and I were looking forward to playing Glastonbury, one of my all time favourite outdoor gigs. We were told that the BBC was now a partner in Glastonbury and wanted us to do a lot of things in a way we were not interested in. "It seems Glastonbury is now under corporate control and is not the way I remember it being. We will not be playing Glastonbury on this tour because it is a corporate turn-off, and not for me like it used to be." However, Young made a U-turn on his Glastonbury boycott two days later after suggesting that he had received false information about the festival. "Due to an error in the information received, I had decided to not play Glastonbury Festival, which I always have loved. "Happily, the festival is now back on our itinerary and we look forward to playing!" Young was opposed to the BBC broadcasting his set when he previously headlined the festival in 2009 as his management wanted to limit the number of songs shown on TV in order to preserve the "mystery" of the performance.
