Olivia Rodrigo at Glastonbury 2025: start time and everything you need to know
The Sunday night at Glastonbury is a hard one to get right. Previous years have seen Elton John, Kendrick Lamar and Ed Sheeran close the festival. But Emily Eavis was criticised in 2024 for putting SZA in the final headline slot, as the RnB singer drew in an unusually small crowd. In 2025, the final night is set to be headlined by pop-punk superstar Olivia Rodrigo, who started out on Disney Channel but shot to fame in 2021 after releasing her debut album SOUR, filled with angsty songs about breakups and being a young woman. Want to see her at Glastonbury? Here's everything you need to know. When is Olivia Rodrigo headlining Glastonbury 2025? The 'good 4 u' singer is playing the Sunday night at Glastonbury, headlining the festival on June 29. What time will Olivia Rodrigo play the Pyramid stage? Olivia will be on stage from 9.45pm to 11.15pm. What's been said about the setlist so far? Olivia doesn't have an official setlist, however in recent shows she has been playing covers of Fontaines DC and Talking Heads. Based on one of her latest shows, this is what Olivia Rodrigo's set could look like: obsessed ballad of a homeschooled girl vampire drivers license traitor bad idea right? love is embarrassing pretty isn't pretty happier enough for you so american jealousy, jealousy favorite crime deja vu brutal all-american bitch good 4 u get him back! Will any guests be joining Olivia Rodrigo's set? Nothing is confirmed, but special guests are highly likely. Olivia brought out Talking Heads' David Byrne during her set at Governors Ball festival in New York earlier this summer. Let's hope Glasto gets someone just as good. Has Olivia Rodrigo ever played at Glastonbury before? Yes. Olivia played the Other Stage in 2022 and brought out special guest Lily Allen to sing 'F*** You'.

Feature Video: The Kid LAROI - How Does It Feel?
'How Does It Feel?' asks Unearthed superstar, and accomplished rizzler, The Kid LAROI in this week's super-smooth 2000s RnB throwback of a Feature Video. And the feeling in question? Reality melting in and out of existence, when you've found the only person at the party to focus on. "SUMMER STARTS THIS FRIDAY…" shouts Laroi, a.k.a the Kamilaroi artist known as Charlton Kenneth Jeffrey Howard. Presumably he's referencing the Northern Hemisphere's warmer months, and not the uninsulated frostscape that is presently refridgerating his Australian listeners, but that doesn't stop 'How Does It Feel?' from being a heater of an RnB track. It also brings with it aesthetics and lyrical content that are decidedly on the more mature end of the spectrum of human emotions, suggesting that this kid is maturing as an artist (might we perhaps suggest The MAN Laroi?). Directed by Los Angeles' own Calmatic, the man responsible for Lil Nas X' 'Old Town Road', Kendrick Lamar's 'Squabble Up', and Anderson .Paak's 'Bubblin', and too many more bangers to mention. This guy brings some serious filmmaking credentials to the party, and while we're talking party, let's just address this little soirée for your imagination; hosted at the illustrious Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel, The Kid LAROI shows off his dance moves and mad rizz, while Calmatic visualises what it's like to just let reality fade out, and let desire take over. Talking to FLAUNT Magazine, LAROI says he was listening to a lot of random early 2000s and old R&B stuff at the time of 'How Does It Feel?'s conception. 'Kind of happy, but it still has that emotion to it, you know? It's not, like, frolicking through a bunch of flowers.' Creating 'happy' music is definitely terrain less traversed by the artist, who says 'I've just always correlated happy music with being kind of cheesy for some reason… the easy thing about making sad music is… It's so much easier to tap into an emotion when a sad chord is played…When happy chords are played, it's just harder for me to find melodies on top.' 'How do you know if what you're singing is bullshit?' Well, Kid, when it comes to summer love, we're all just a little bit foolish—and honestly, that's what makes it so damn irresistible.

Craig David on 7 Days, selling mixtapes, and his love of performing in Southampton
Craig David has a notoriously busy week, but luckily made time to talk to the Echo about his homecoming show this weekend. The Southampton local who shot to fame overnight in the early 2000s has long graced the RnB scene. He consistently champions is home city too, previously backing the bid for Southampton to be UK City of Culture and praising the pool of local musical talent. The 44-year-old singer, songwriter and DJ said he feels a 'flood of nostalgia' every time he reaches the roundabout at the top of The Avenue on approach to Southampton. 'The feeling of being home just hits every single time…being able to wrap that all up and bring it to the stage is important', he said. 'Specifically in Southampton, some of my tunes and songs mean a lot to people if I play them, for example my first song with Artful Dodger, that would mean a lot. 'People will say 'I remember when he did it on the mixtape and used to sell it at the barbers'. 'I am very excited and I never take the big hug and the love I get every time I come back to Southampton for granted.' David will be taking to the Summer Sessions stage on Guildhall Square on Saturday night, a big event that is proving popular year on year. READ MORE: Rag 'n' Bone Man opens Southampton Summer Sessions with a bang But for David, showcasing local talent is better than ever thanks to all the music venues in the city. He described the music industry as very 'London centric' in the late 1990s and early 2000s. He added: 'Growing up in Southampton I had the time and space to nurture my sound. 'We were on the pulse in being so close to London, which is why I think the music scene growing in Southampton was so poignant as it opened up the floodgates for musicians in other cities. 'The scene now in Southampton is thriving.' Speaking on his headliner gig on Saturday night, David said he is 'adamant' that he always wants to bring his classic songs to the stage, including 7 Days, the same way they were recorded. 'As it will be a TS5 DJ set, it will give me the freedom to interject with the original, do a remix, throw in an instrumental from another song, which is going back to what I did when I was DJ'ing on the south coast and making mixtapes in my bedroom', he said. And on the subject of 7 Days, it felt right to ask if, writing the song now, whether he would change any of the activities 25 years since its release. He said: 'That song lives in the space of me being 17 years old, looking out my bedroom window, thinking how my life would go down. 'It is the gift that keeps giving.' 'I was not being overtly vulgar in that song – I lived with my mum and had my grandma around so I needed it to have a filter and be cool', David joked.

Katie Price sparks concern with her skinny frame as she performs on stage in tiny bodysuit
The star was a headliner at Portsmouth Pride on Saturday night FAN FEARS Katie Price sparks concern with her skinny frame as she performs on stage in tiny bodysuit Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) KATIE Price has sparked new concerns after showing off her tiny frame while performing on stage. The reality star was one of the three main acts at Portsmouth Pride on Saturday, joining the likes of Nadine Coyle, Sabrina Washington from Mis-Teeq, and Drag Race UK stars River Medway and Victoria Scone.

Taking to the stage, Katie channeled her inner pop princess, donning a tiny black thong bodysuit that showed off her enhanced bum and famous boobs. She strutted on stage in a frilled pink jacket and a giant, jewel-encrusted hat embossed with the word "Pricey" in pink rhinestones, which matched a tiny silver belt around her hips. Over the course of her set, she sang songs including a piano led version of RnB classic (We Don't Have To Take Our) Clothes Off and Tell It To My Heart by Taylor Dayne, and A Whole New World – which she previously released as a single with ex-husband Peter André. But as she shed her shimmering jacket and danced in just her bodysuit, Katie's slim frame – which has been causing concern for fans – was put on full display. But the performer, podcaster and model has tried to shut down fears, saying she had deliberately been slimming down after a long-standing foot injury and attempts at IVF had made her put weight on. Speaking on her Snapchat in May, Katie said in the clip: "Yes I've lost weight. "Yes that what I've wanted to do, I've wanted to lose weight. "Because the past three, four years ago when I broke my feet and I was in a wheelchair for 10 months because they said I'd never walk again, and obviously you put weight on being in a wheelchair. "And then I did all the IVF stuff, that also puts on weight. Katie Price boasts she earns 'really good money' but claims she can't rent anywhere to live after bankruptcy hell "So yeah I did put on weight and I hated it, I felt uncomfortable and it wasn't me." She then explained how, after finishing her failed IVF treatment, she became more active with healthy eating. "Everyone is talking about it - it's driving me mad," she said. "I'm healthy and I do eat. "If you look at old old pictures of me in the Jordan days, I was always skinny. "But today where i have lost weight, I feel, my butt looks like a deflated balloon." Some fans have asked Katie whether she has taken popular weight loss jabs to shed the pounds - but the star, who has been open in the past about procedures she's gone through, has strongly denied it. 7 The star has sparked concern with her tiny frame in the past Credit: Paul Jacobs/ 7 Fans cheers on the star as she performed on stage Credit: Portsmouth Pride 7 The singer showed off her bum as she danced in the outfit Credit: Portsmouth Pride 7 Confetti rained down on the star as she wrapped up her set Credit: Portsmouth Pride
