Glastonbury 2025

2 bars. Oh well. On to the resale.

As for "Noisy brag". I don't think anyone noisily brags here but usually informs people on tips/suggestions to those attempting to buy tickets or tips for those who have luckily gotten tickets.

TheIrishGrover

To those who did/do get tickets, I hope you have a good time. Last year had its issues and 2026 is going to be a fallow year so hopefully ye'll have a cracker of a lineup

Managed to get a tkt, delighted. Group we were in had friends that could go back after getting their tkts, Managed to do it twice. Odd system but I ain't complaining. All of our group never went passed 20 bars.

Agreed. This thread has always seemed all about the helpful tips and community spirit. Not an asshole in sight.

Did ANYONE get lucky??

The 1975 seem to have become quite strongly rumoured to headline

Lemsiper

I wasn't gonna try this year but bored in work and WhatsApp groups lighting up so said fück it, tried and was successful

Been 6 times since 2015 but think that new queuing system might be the end of it for me.

It's more fair no doubt in that it's a randomly assigned position in queue, but also more frustrating as feels like your fate is predetermined at 9am.

Congrats to all the lucky ticket holders though.. and especially if you're a first timer, it's a belter of a weekend!

@darzog, @rubick, myself and two pals, all thanks to @desk tidy who won't have to buy any beer in Somerset next June. The rest of us got nowhere, the furthest I got was six bars on one phone, two on the other and desktop.

MadYaker

I have a ticket. Only got up to 6 bars on my PC but a mate in the group bought all 6.

My 6th Glasto on the trot, crazy.

Olivia Rodrigo, Sam Fender and the 1975, how the mighty have fallen.

Gloomtastic!

No. We had 6 devices on the go and nothing.

We are on a waiting list for VIP tickets with a Concierge app though. So we may be still get there!

Was it from their agent "Manure"?

TheIrishGrover

Now that I know people actually got tickets, it does seem fairer. I mean, I'm gutted that we didn't get any (yet. Always holding on) and just sitting there is grim but I'm glad people here (outside UK) got tickets.

For those who got tickets and are hearing doom lineup rumours, don't worry. You're not going to get Taylor Swift, Oasis and Pearl Jam. But you ll are also not going to get the doom people predict. Sure, last year there was SZA but of course that was supposed to be Madonna.

And even if the Pyramid headliners suck, there is more to Glastonbury than one stage. Have had great years there where I barely hit the Pyramid.

Unless there is some personal reason you can't go, do not let any lineup put you off. Go and enjoy, don't listen to any negativity from the jealous..... (And we ARE jealous)

Always going to happen eventually as they can't just book the same 50/60/70 year olds over and over again. I quite like them three as headliners although someone like Springsteen in place of Fender would improve it a lot.

Not sure what the source is but rumours only emerged in the past few days

Mrs Shuttleworth

They could easily do a sale of tickets of say, 20% of the total, solely to long term registrants who've never managed to secure tickets but shown their loyalty to wanting to go. The system will show when you registered and they could make participation in the sale conditional on logging in and verifying details by a certain date to ensure you're still alive and interested.

There was a clown on Twitter on Thursday after the coach sale whingeing without a hint of irony that first time attendees who got lucky in the new system will "negatively affect the vibe of the festival". 🙄

Yeah I remember the first I went, totally ruined it for everyone else - there was talk of cancelling it.

Wooderson

2nd G I'm missing since 2003. Tbh im OK with it. Was lucky to coast thru those years 2004-2013 when so many huge performers made their debut. Madonna the only candidate they could get to play at that level that has yet to appear.

Great to see couple regulars on 'ere get sorted. Have a blast folks.

Telly

well down to everyone who got tickets we’d a few trying and none of us got them. Maybe 2027 will be our year.

If so that's a poor trio but makes sod all difference for me as I spend so little time at the Pyramid or Other stage. 2/3 there but it's basically West Holts, the Park, Woodsies and Acoustic for me. Quite difficult not to have at least 40 acts to see when there are more than 120 stages. Still, I'd like at least one decent headliner.

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/122848980#Comment_122848980

They've always booked new young headliners. In the last decade alone Adele, Florence & the Machine, Stormzy, Dua Lipa, Ed Sheeran, etc. The last year I went (2022) had Billie Eilish and Kendrick Lamar and there'll always be a mix of new and old. Potential possibilities of the latter this year are Green Day and Eminem. The days of three great leading acts are gone, though it rarely happened anyway. And I agree re Bruce, that'd bring an entirely different complexion to the poster.

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/122849070#Comment_122849070

Completely agree with this. I've been a few times but many people I know get tickets regularly. Whether this is down to organisation or luck I'm not aware but I personally wouldn't object to my chances being reduced to allow new people to go. Glastonbury can quite easily monitor the attendance records of all via their registration base. Some people will get around it via a change of identity but they could insist on photo ID checks for those new attendees. As your ticket carries your picture this ain't an easy one to bypass. It's an effort for the organiser but it can be done.

Most importantly, we were all newcomers once.

Basement Jaxx playing Fairview on Wed 25 June, makes Glasto highly likely. Olivia Rodrigo a certainty, Libertines and CMAT very likely. Weezer possible. Sam Fender and the 1975 rumoured with Green Day and Stevie Wonder as unlikely possibilities.

Not a great start to the rumour mill and whatever your taste you'll be catered for throughout. But I do like having one great headliner and a couple of decent Pyramid/Other biggies. 2025 may not deliver. Any thoughts or further rumours?

The persistent rumour for the Legend Slot is Cher, but given that Robbie Williams is lurking about he's a very likely contender. There was a brief glimmer of hope that Bruce Springsteen would be Pyramid bound but I think his other dates have ruled him out. We'd a fantastic run of Paul Heaton>PJ Harvey> LCD Soundsystem on the Pyramid this year, also saw Squeeze opening the Friday there. Was the most we'd ever hung about the Pyramid, we're usually floating between West Holts, Glade and Park.

Sex Pistols feat. Frank Carter, The Stranglers, Buzzcocks, The Undertones, Skidz, Bassment Jaxx and Pendulum all with GSHs as per The Thingy this morning.

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/122851926#Comment_122851926

So the Legends slot a write-off. Nothing new for me with the older acts ba The Skids who I've wanted too see for quite a while. Avalon or Acoustic I reckon. Springsteen would be good, and unless he's added new dates he has the Sat & Sun free.

I don't usually spend much time at the Pyramid but last time for me (2022) was Herbie Hancock, Paul McCartney, Crowded House, Kendrick Lamar and some of Diana Ross. If I get 2 or 3 acts to see there then I'm happy.

Wooderson

Billy Joel an option for the legend slot? Cher would be rubbish.

Yeah that could be a shout alright, he's at Anfield on the Wednesday, so the rumours he's a useful centre-half might also be true.

Still Ill

Surely he's too big for that? He'd be a headliner in my opinion

No luck here. At least the pain was over within about 30 minutes
