The 2025 app is packed with exciting upgrades, led by the introduction of live location sharing – perfect for finding your friends in the crowd when you're gearing up for a huge headline moment.
This year's headliners include The 1975, Neil Young and Olivia Rodrigo, while the rest of the bill features big-name acts such as Charli XCX, Doechii, Rod Stewart, Loyle Carner, The Prodigy and Raye.
Some performance slots are listed as 'TBA' - sparking speculation about who might appear.
Rumoured names range from Haim and Pulp to Lady Gaga and Radiohead.
Glastonbury 2025 - confirmed acts so far
TICKETS to the 2025 festival sold out in just minutes before some of the acts were even confirmed. Here is who has been confirmed so far.
Confirmed headliners: The 1975 will take to the Pyramid Stage on Friday.
Neil Young will headline the festival for the second time after his last set in 2009 on Saturday after RAYE makes her return.
Charli xcx will headline the Other Stage on Saturday night.
On Sunday, Olivia Rodrigo is due to belt out her hits for her first appearance while Rod Stewart will perform in the legends slot.

Another exciting new feature is the addition of step count to the popular 'My Highlights' post-Festival wrap, which lets fans compare with their mates to see who's covered the most ground or spent the most time on the dancefloor.
But this isn't just about tracking steps – it's about making them count.
Vodafone will match the average number of steps Festival-goers take each day with donations through its everyone.connected programme – up to 75,000 connections.
These donations include data, devices and digital skills for people across the UK who need it most, supporting Vodafone's mission to close the digital divide.
That's in addition to the 75,000 connections already donated through the Glastonbury partnership – delivering an estimated £4.5m in social value.
Shared Line-ups now update automatically, so you can see what your mates are planning and make last-minute switches.

Maria Koutsoudakis, Chief Brand Officer, Vodafone UK, said:
"We know the app plays a big role in the Festival experience so, this year, we have gone even further to ensure that fans can connect with their friends or family and get as much out of Glastonbury as possible.
"Combined with us delivering the most Vodafone network capacity ever on-site, these new features will help festival goers always be connected no matter where they are across the site."

Lorde ‘pretty keen' to ‘pull some strings' and make Glastonbury appearance
This draws speculation as to whether the singer from New Zealand, who does not feature on the official line-up, will play during one of the slots marked TBA. The full scheduling for this year was announced earlier in the week and includes sets from Irish rap trio Kneecap and singer Charli XCX, as well as headline performances from British pop band The 1975, Neil Young and his band the Chrome Hearts, and US pop singer Olivia Rodrigo. Asked if she would be playing at the festival, Lorde told Jo Whiley's BBC Radio 2 show: 'You know, I'm pretty keen, honestly. 'I feel like, because the album's going to be coming out, I am quite tempted by what's going on, because I've got lots of friends playing as well. We'll see if I can pull some strings and get there.' The 28-year-old is friends with a number of singers including Brat star Charli XCX, who is playing the Other Stage on the Saturday night. Earlier in the year, the British singer played at US festival Coachella where Lorde made an appearance to perform their collaborative version of Girl, So Confusing. The singer, whose real name is Ella Yelich-O'Connor, has played at Glastonbury before and performed on the Other Stage in 2017 and the Pyramid Stage in 2022. Asked what it was like to walk onto the Pyramid Stage, she said: 'Absolutely unbelievable, enormous. I was shooketh at the scale. So many cameras … oh goodness. So beautiful, so amazing. 'In 2017 we played the Other Stage, which was so amazing, that was kind of sunset and very moody and just the best. It's the best festival in the world.' The singer shot to fame with her chart-topping single Royals in 2013, which was included in her album Pure Heroine. She has since released the albums Melodrama (2017) and Solar Power (2021), with her fourth studio album, Virgin, to be released on June 27. Glastonbury is running from June 25 to June 29 with performances from the likes of US rapper Doechii, UK singer Raye and veteran rocker Sir Rod Stewart, who will be playing during the coveted legends slot.

Dakota held a flame for them to be together because she loved him so much and loved his kids so much." The source said they tried the age old technique of spending time away from each other but the absences didn't lead to their hearts growing fonder. "Dakota is devastated that she isn't going to be around his kids as much anymore, but wants them to know that she is always there for them," the insider continued. But the beautiful Fifty Shades star has now been spotted looking ever so glamorous in a see-through dress, while in Tribeca in New York City. Dakota sported a sleek hair look, wearing her brunette locks down, and opted for a very glamorous makeup look too. She was spotted looking in good spirits while clutching onto a brown handbag and donning sunglasses. The 35-year-old rocked heels with her outfit, and shared a look at her derriere beneath the see-through dress. The actress turned round and flashed a smile at fans and photographers, before jumping into a taxi. Before their split, Dakota and Chris were pictured holding hands in January at the Babulnath Temple, Mumbai, where Coldplay were touring. Two issues that brought Chris Martin and Dakota Johnson to a breaking point as actress was 'desperate' for it to work It followed Dakota, who is the daughter of actors Don Johnson and Melanie Griffith, working on new romance movie Materialist with co-stars Chris Evans and Pedro Pascal in New York. Last summer insiders insisted the pair were still together and Dakota was seen watching Chris headline Glastonbury in Somerset. She previously told Bustle how watching him perform was a turn on, saying: "I could watch him every day. I don't know how to explain it. I feel like, I don't know... I'm watching my most favourite being do his most favourite thing. 'When people are really good at things, it is [sexy.]' Unlucky in love Chris split from actress wife Gwyneth Paltrow, 51, in March 2014 after ten years of marriage. He reportedly got engaged to Dakota last March and she called his kids with Gwyneth - daughter Apple, 19, and son Moses, 17 - her "stepchildren". The Fifty Shades of Grey star declared that she loved Chris's kids "like her life depends on it." And at one stage, Dakota talked about starting a family of her own with the musician. She said: "How do I feel about motherhood? I'm so open to that. "I've gotten to this place where I really want to experience everything life has to offer. 'And especially being a woman, I'm like: 'What a magical f***ing thing to do. What a crazy, magical, wild experience. "If that's meant to happen for me, I'm totally down for it. "We're not here for very long, so if I'm meant to be a mother, bring it on." 7 The actress looked in good spirits Credit: Getty 7 Dakota popped on heels to go with her striking outfit Credit: Getty

Paul McCartney and Bruce Springsteen meet up in Liverpool during flying visit to LIPA
Music legends Sir Paul McCartney and Bruce Springsteen have met up as The Boss prepares to perform the second of two shows at Anfield as part of his current UK tour. The pair were visiting Liverpool Institute of Performing Arts (LIPA) on Mount Street, which Macca co-founded. Springsteen, 75, has made no secret of his admiration for the Fab Four, crediting the Beatles with heavily shaping his musical tastes, and he h's described performing on Merseyside as the fulfilment of a long-held dream. Members of the E-Street band Max Weinberg and Steven Van Zandt were also spotted making their way into LIPA through the crowds outside, all of which has fuelled wild speculation about whether Sir Paul will join Bruce on stage at Saturday night's concert. If he does it would not be the first time the pair have played together, with Springsteen joining Sir Paul on stage as a special guest during the 82-year-old's headline set at Glastonbury Festival in 2022. They also met up for additional gigs at Hyde Park and at the MetLife Stadium in New Jersey. Growing up as a teenager in New Jersey as the Beatles took the USA by storm with a legendary appearance on the Ed Sullivan Show, The Boss told audiences at Anfield: "It is great for us to be in Liverpool where, for us, it all began." As an additional nod to the Beatles he performed a version of Twist and Shout in the encore. Originally sung by The Top Notes the classic became synonymous with The Beatles when they released a cover version in 1963, and Springsteen has often played it on live shows previously. However, Wednesday's performance was just the second time the song has featured on the Land Of Hope and Dreams tour setlist so far. The power of the iconic venue itself was not lost on the American star, referencing Liverpool FC 's Premier League title win this season as he told the crowd: "'Come on! Is this the house of champions or what?'' Never afraid to speak his mind, the Boss also continued his war of words with President Donald Trump. Before he opened the show with My Love Will Not Let You Down, he said: "The America I love and have sung to you about for so long, a beacon of hope for 250 years, is currently in hands of a corrupt, incompetent and treasonous administration. "Tonight we ask all of you who believe in democracy and the best of our American experiment to rise with us, raise your voices, stand with us against authoritarianism and let freedom ring!' Before Rainmaker, he said: "When conditions in a country are ripe for a demagogue, you can bet one will show up. This is for America's dear leader." Ahead of House of A Thousand Guitars, he said: 'The last check on power, after the checks and balances have failed, are the people. That's all that's left. "It's in the union of people around a common set of values. That's all that stands between democracy and authoritarianism.
