Glastonbury ticket sales cut for 2025 to ease overcrowding, says Emily Eavis
The music festival, which usually has capacity for 210,000 people, is returning later this month, with British pop band The 1975, folk star Neil Young and his band the Chrome Hearts, and US pop singer Olivia Rodrigo topping the bill. In an appearance on the Sidetracked podcast Eavis, 45, outlined the changes that have been made to this year's festival and said music area Shangri-La is 'going full trees and green space' which is 'completely the opposite to anything they've done in the past'. She also revealed that the festival has managed to buy some land that sits 'just on the outside of the site', which will be used for crew members. She added: 'We've also sold a few thousand less tickets, so it will be interesting just to see how that affects the dynamics on site.' The first group of tickets for the event sold out in 30 minutes last November, with the second lot selling out in fewer than 40. Eavis said times have changed, adding: 'There were years where you just couldn't sell out, you just couldn't give them (the tickets) away.' Glastonbury is running from June 25 to June 29 this year 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. Also performing is Irish rap trio Kneecap, US star Gracie Abrams and alternative pop singer Charli XCX. The line-up features a number of acts listed as TBA, as well as a mysterious act called Patchwork, who will take to the Pyramid Stage on Saturday. Careful not to draw speculation as to who the act could be, Eavis said: 'I've been working on Patchwork for a long time.' She also said that planning for their appearance had taken about a year for 'logistical' reasons. Also at the festival, presenters Annie Mac and Nick Grimshaw will take to the BBC Introducing stage on June 26 for a live episode of Sidetracked.

For the first time in the show's 10-year history - a bombshell from the USA is entering the villa. But what can British viewers expect from her entrance? Say can you see an American in the Love Island villa? Well, for the first time in show history, someone from across the pond is set to enter the iconic villa as a bombshell. ITV has revealed that Toni from Sin City (Las Vegas) is set to arrive in the villa and she will have the power to steal one of the boys straight away.

Here's all you need to know: Love Island's first bombshell of series 12 is history maker The ITV2 show is one of the highlights of the British summer - but it is about to get a serving of American Pie. Despite the reality series sparking plenty of spin-offs - including Love Island: USA - it has tended to stick to recruiting islanders from the UK. However to start off series 12 tonight (June 9), a bombshell from across the pond is set to enter the Mallorcan villa. Toni, 24, is swapping Las Vegas for the sunshine of Spain.

We stayed in King's Cross and it was gorgeous. It's so diverse. Literally people from everywhere.'

It's time to try something new! 'I have some British friends and they're pretty charming. I think all Americans love a good accent. British men are just more polite, with better manners.' She told ITV that she is looking for: 'Someone that can make me laugh - I'm super outgoing. And someone that's quite active. Maybe one day we could start our own family together.'

The Islanders can't believe there's an American bombshell and there's clearly some excitement amongst the boys… and some concerns for the girls.

Love Island star spent over £2,000 on clothes before entering villa
EXCLUSIVE: Love Island star Shakira Khan has spent a huge amount of clothes, beauty products and other essentials to ensure she's villa-ready - and has opened up about her thoughts on sex in the villa Love Island's Shakira Khan, 22, has lit up the villa as the 12th series kicks off with the usual mix of drama, romance, and jaw-dropping twists. But before the cameras start rolling, Shakira's been busy preparing in true style - dropping over £2,000 on clothes, beauty must-haves, and other essentials to ensure she's villa-ready from day one. 'I wasn't messing about,' she tells us exclusively. 'I've got three suitcases packed with everything I might need. I even bought things last year just in case.' Clearly, this isn't Shakira's first rodeo when it comes to being camera-ready, and she's pulling out all the stops to make an impact. Away from the glitz and glamour, Shakira's real-life job is as a children's entertainer, specialising in kids' parties dressed as Disney princesses. Asked which princess she relates to most, she's quick to pick Princess Jasmine: 'She's rebellious, strong, knows what she wants, and she's adventurous - definitely Jasmine.' Her career has also seen her rubbing shoulders with some pretty high-profile clients. 'I've hosted parties for Premier League footballers, reality stars, and other big names,' Shakira admits. 'Can't say who, though - NDAs and all that! But trust me, we've seen some big houses.' Glow-boosting Liz Earle set that leaves skin 'dewy and refreshed' is slashed by £28 With ITV confirming they'll show any villa sex scenes this year, we couldn't resist asking Shakira about her stance on intimacy in the villa. 'I've talked to my mum and dad about it - it's a big no-no,' she says firmly. 'Personally, I wouldn't do it anyway. Eight weeks isn't that long for me.' Love Island fans, get ready. Shakira's arrival promises plenty of fun, fierce energy, and maybe a little bit of drama - but when it comes to love, she's playing it cool. But playing it cool could lead to heartbreak as a new bombshell arrives in tonight's episode. One Love Island star has already been dumped from the villa before the show even airs. Those tuning in this evening will see a cruel twist as one Islander is sent packing - just moments after arriving in the villa. It has been revealed that one girl will be sent packing this evening after the instant arrival of a bombshell. Just yesterday, it was announced that Toni - a VIP waitress who works in one of Las Vegas' fancy hotels - would be entering the villa. Asked what she was looking for, she said she needed "someone that can make me laugh - I'm super outgoing. And someone that's quite active. Maybe one day we could start our own family together. "It's time to try something new! I have some British friends and they're pretty charming. I think all Americans love a good accent. British men are just more polite, with better manners." Now, her arrival will mean that one of the initial Love Island stars will be axed within hours of arriving. With filming already underway, the person has been sent packing from the villa - with it set to air this evening during the launch show. "This girl will be sorely missed as was already proving to be a big character. The was absolutely gutted to leave. But the series has twists and turns at every stage and this isn't the usual dumping viewers might expect after a bombshell arrives," a source told The Sun. "Executive producer Mike Spencer-Hayter has promised drama for the tenth anniversary and this format point will not disappoint." Love Island 2025 begins tonight at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX.
