Live Glastonbury 2025 Friday live: The 1975 to headline the pyramid stage
It's the first 'proper' morning of Glastonbury, when the live music begins, and those who arrived on Worthy Farm as early as Wednesday morning might be regretting depleting their fuel tank before the party has even really started. By 10am there are already fresh-faced twenty-somethings queuing up for tequila shots, while some stragglers clearly never went to bed in the first place. But the mood is bright: yet another year of blissful sunshine, which has left certain members of the Telegraph team sporting pink shiny sunburns. No doubt the medical tents around the site will be full of the young, drunk and dehydrated.
In the festival press tent, everyone is talking about Kneecap, of course. The controversial northern Irish rap trio, of which one member, Liam Óg Ó Hannaidh, who goes by the stage name Mo Chara, was recently charged with terror offence for displaying a Hamas flag while on stage, are playing tomorrow afternoon and word on the site that anyone hoping to go will have to arrive two hours before, with the festival likely shutting access from an hour before the gig. With Prime Minister Keir Starmer calling their Glastonbury gig 'not appropriate', how will the BBC navigate broadcasting this political hot potato?
Television coverage tomorrow doesn't start until 5pm, and Kneecap's set is at 4pm, so there's no risk of accidentally flicking onto their show. But it remains to be seen whether the BBC will broadcast their set on iPlayer, which will be streaming the action from the West Holts Stage all day.
If you're watching Glastonbury from your sofa this year, Telegraph music critic Neil McCormick has hand-picked his top 10 gigs to watch, while we also have a comprehensive guide on how exactly the BBC coverage works – from how to watch live to how to watch on catch-up.
The Telegraph team on the ground will be keeping you updated via this live blog as we go, from music reviews and news to celebrity sightings and all things weird and wonderful.
And please share your own favourite, happy and downright weird memories from Glastonbury in the comments. The best ones will be featured in the blog. And if you think this is all a load of nonsense, we have just the piece for you here.

Lola Young puts on a VERY racy display in an underboob-flashing monokini before Glastonbury set - after Lorde sent fans into a frenzy by stripping off during surprise show
Lola Young put on a very racy display as she posed in the back of a motor on her way to perform at Glastonbury. Donning a short red skirt and an incredibly skimpy zebra-coloured monokini, the British singer, 24, sent supporters into a frenzy with the slew of snaps. Flashing underboob with the look, Lola pouted for the series of photos. She also sent temperatures soaring from beneath the camera, showing off her enviable curves while perched in the back of her tour bus. Lola captioned the sexy slew: ' coachella saw me (almost) throw up.. @glastofest what are you gonna get?' Lola is scheduled to hit the Woodsies stage at 4.30pm, just hours after Lorde sent Glastonbury-goers wild with a surprise set on the same stage. The performance came on the same day the New Zealander, 28, dropped supporters jaws after unveiling the cover of her new vinyl. Thousands of fans flocked to the Woodsies stage after rumours of a set from the Royals hitmaker spread around Worthy Farm. Such was the excitement that bosses announced the stage had temporarily closed due to overcrowding shortly before her set began. The singer - who previously graced The Pyramid stage in 2022 - performed all of her biggest hits from Ribs to Green Light, as well as a rendition of her new album. Wearing her jet black hair down, the 28-year-old sported an all-white look for the occasion consisting of a pair of straight leg jeans and a plain T-shirt. While belting out her lyrics, Lorde put her abs on full display as she lifted her T-shirt up to reveal her bra. She later stripped out of the T-shirt, laying bare her impressive figure and sending thousands of supporters wild. 'Moooorning', she greeted the crowd, 'this is sick'. And it seems her performance didn't disappoint, with a host of festival-goers taking to X to praise the popstar. Supporters described the show as 'out of this world', 'utterly euphoric' and 'brilliant'. Friday at the famous old festival will also see Lola Young, Loyle Carner, PinkPantheress and a host of other artists take to the stage before The 1975 close out the night on the Pyramid stage. Lorde's surprise set - which saw her perform a host of tunes from her new album Virgin - comes on the same day she left fans in shock after revealing the cover of her new vinyl. The singer had already raised eyebrows with the project's main artwork, which features an x-ray of her pelvis - inter-uterine device included. The show came on the same day the New Zealand singer dropped supporters jaws after unveiling the cover of her new vinyl However, the vinyl for Virgin - Lorde's fourth studio album and first since 2021's Solar Power - is even more explicit and features what appears to be her genitals beneath a pair of see-through plastic pants. Taking to social media to express their shock, some fans worried about their family members potentially seeing the NSFW cover. They shared on X/ Twitter: 'So the new Lorde vinyl just got delivered. I was not prepared for the insert'; 'lorde really got her cat out like that on her vinyl huh?'; 'My Lorde vinyl is getting delivered to my parent's house I'm scared [sic].' Others added: 'when you open your Virgin vinyl and see lordussy'; 'should've stayed curious abt the lorde vinyl'. However, not everyone was so critical of the vinyl's artwork and others described it as 'beautiful' and far from being shocking. 'A lot of you are being very weird about the lorde vinyl cover… who tf cares if her lordeussy was out. It's just a body.'; 'Wait... Is this the new album art from Lorde that everyone is talking about? It's a beautiful photo, and the entire vinyl package is, too, but come on, it barely shows anything. No need for all the discourse. 90's Madonna would kill you all [sic].' Others said that the reaction to the vinyl was so extreme that they expected it to be a lot more explicit than it actually is. 'I really thought the lorde vinyl insert would be a lot worse than people are saying it is, you guys are kinda dramatic.' The new album features several singles, including Man of the Year, which has already proven to be a viral hit. Lorde described her latest album as 'gender broadening' and said it was inspired by her own 'coming into masculinity'. The star, who uses she/her pronouns, told Rolling Stone that she is 'in the middle, gender-wise'. Elaborating further to fellow singer Chappell Roan, Lorde said of her gender: 'I'm a woman except for the days when I'm a man.' Lorde previously shocked fans when she debuted her new album artwork and its sexually suggestive title. The jaw-dropping cover was an X-ray of what appeared to be her pelvic area, with her hip bones, belt buckle, and zipper visible. But it was one particular detail in the X-ray that got fans talking - a T-shaped object that appeared to be an IUD (intrauterine device), a type of birth control that is placed in the uterus. On her website, she claimed the album was written '100%' in blood. The singer had already raised eyebrows with her latest album's main artwork, which features an x-ray of her pelvis - inter-uterine device included Lorde said she was both 'proud and scared' of the upcoming project in an email sent to fans. 'The colour of the album is clear. Like bathwater, windows, ice, spit. Full transparency. 'The language is plain and unsentimental. The sounds are the same wherever possible. 'I was trying to see myself, all the way through. I was trying to make a document that reflected my femininity: raw, primal, innocent, elegant, openhearted, spiritual, masc. 'I'm proud and scared of this album. There's nowhere to hide. I believe the putting the deepest parts of ourselves to music is what sets us free.' Lorde is one of the highest-selling New Zealand singers of all time and her 2013 song Royals reached number one in America, eventually being certified 14 times platinum.

Wild price of toast at Glastonbury festival and food prices revealed as revellers feel ‘ripped off'
FURIOUS Glastonbury fans have slammed the "ridiculous" price of food and drink at this year's festival. Festivalgoers have been sharing videos online of what's on offer at the Worthy Farm event's hundreds of food stalls, with some charging £14 for chips and £2 for "half a slice of toast". 4 4 4 Yesterday, The Sun revealed the cost of a pint at this year's festival, which kicked off on Wednesday and is set to welcome over 200,000 fans, is between £6.95 and £7.20 - up a maximum of 40p since last year. A festivalgoer from Manchester, known as on social media, posted a video to TikTok reviewing some French toast he'd bought for breakfast at the festival. The "classic French toast" with maple syrup costs £6, but with just three half slices of toast included, one user pointed out that the stall is charging £2 for half a slice of toast. "£2 for half a slice of toast, festivals are wild," they wrote. Another said: " That's Glastonbury for ya....", while another user argued that "anything under £10 is ok" at the festival. Elsewhere, food trucks have been spotted selling "loaded fries" for £14, toasted sandwiches for £10, and Mac and Cheese for up to £16. Another reveller, known as BoSFinesse, posted a video to TikTok of a burger he got at Glastonbury this week - with some of his followers pointing out the "eye-watering" price of £15. "Burgers are coming in at anywhere between 10 to 15 quid a pop, which is pretty much the average price of a meal anywhere at the festival" he said in the video, adding: "So be prepared to remortgage your house for this one." One follower replied: "15 f***ing quid...", while another said the prices at the festival were "ridiculous". "I'm sure I had one of these at an event a few weeks ago, the price was indeed eye watering but it was absolutely bloody delish!," another follower wrote. One follower fumed: "Why is it 15 quid... rent cannot be much... just ripping people off." Glastonbury chaos as bosses are forced to SHUT part of festival as Lorde performs surprise set However, Glastonbury has also been offering a £6 meal deal option since 2015, which is available at more than 250 stalls at the festival. It comes as prices at the festival's on-site bars caused a stir among fans earlier in the week, with some dubbing the costs "absolutely disgusting". A double shot of spirit with a mixer will set you back an astonishing £13, while pints of draught beer and cider cost between £6.95 and £7.20. Glastonbury bar prices Here's the breakdown of prices at Glastonbury: Burrow Hill Cider - £6.50 Brothers Festival Cider - £6.95 Brooklyn Pilsner - £6.95 Stonewall Inn IPA - £7.20 Spirits&Mixers (double) - £12.90 Spirit&Red Bull (double) - £13.90 Wine (175ml) - £7.95 Soft drinks - £3 Red Bull - £5 Burrow Hill is best value pint on the menu this year, coming to £1.91 per unit. Festivalgoers have also pointed out the huge premium being slapped on wine at the event, with organisers charging £32 for a bottle of wine that can be bought for less than than £10 from some retailers. As photos of the on-site bar menu emerged on social media earlier this week, one fan commented on X: " Imagine paying over £300 for Glastonbury tickets to be told it's a further £32 for an £8 bottle of wine. 🤪 don't give festivals your coin it's a proper scam." Some came to the defence of the festival bars, saying that the prices are "not bad". One fan wrote: "That's not bad considering it's a festival." Another person said: "Still cheaper than some pubs I've been to." The Sun has contacted Glastonbury for comment. Stars will take to the stage at the iconic festival from today, June 27, to June 29, with this year's headliners including The 1975, Neil Young and Olivia Rodrigo. 4
