Robbie Williams finally addresses secret Glastonbury performance rumours
Former Take That star Robbie Williams has teased that he will be performing at the 2025 Glastonbury Festival - and he finally took to social media to reveal the truth behind the speculation Robbie Williams has finally confirmed if he is performing at the 2025 Glastonbury Festival after whipping fans in to a frenzy of excitement. The 51-year-old pop icon had seemingly suggested he could be one of the secret performers to attend the festival this year. Glastonbury is known for allowing top performers to take to the stage without their presence being previously announced. Acts and performers have even taken to the stage under fake names in order to surprise the thousands of music fans at the annual event. In 2023, the Foo Fighters performed on the Pyramid Stage - taking fans by surprise by being billed as a band called The Churnups. While the 2025 festival is seen performances by Lorde and Lewis Capaldi who sang for fans without previously being advertised as performers at the festival. On Saturday, a band known as Patchwork are expected to perform on one of the stages - but this group is expected to be a pseudonym for a major performer. And fans have questioned if Robbie could be the star expected to take to the stage. On Friday, he teased fans by hinting he might perform at the festival as he shared a photo of a plaque at Glastonbury recalling his appearance there in 1995. The plaque read: "1995. Robbie Williams entered this area without accreditation, authorisation or alignment with prevailing taste. "His presence was uninvited, unofficial and ultimately inevitable." He shared the image via social media with a simple caption stating: "30 years later…" He also shared a photo of a fence with a message reading "Welcome to Glastonbury," and changed his profile photo to a throwback image of himself at the event wearing a red-and-white tracksuit. Despite all the teasing, Rob confirmed he would not actually be performing over the weekend. He took to Instagram Stories to admit he would not take to the stage. Leaving some fans crushed, he wrote: "I'm not performing this year. If you are there, go and see The 1975, Busta Rhymes, Self Esteem, Charli XCX and Reverend and the Makers." Sir Rod Stewart is one of the stars performing at the festival this year and previously shared his excitement about playing the festival. He will play the teatime Legend's Slot on Sunday - a titled that he isn't overly thrilled about. He told the BBC: "I just wish they wouldn't call it the tea time slot. That sounds like pipe and slippers, doesn't it?" However, he went on to tease fans what to expect when he takes to the stage. He said: "Usually I do well over two hours so there's still a load of songs we won't be able to do. But we've been working at it. "I'm not gonna make any announcements between songs. I'll do one number, shout 'next', and go straight into the next one. I'm going to get in as many songs I can." The singer explained that he usually plays for over two hours when he is on tour and that Glastonbury organisers initially offered him only 75 minutes for his slot - but he was able to negotiate this up to 90 minutes instead.

Lorde opens Glastonbury festival with surprise set
Pop star Lorde has launched the 2025 Glastonbury Festival with a surprise pre-lunchtime set to a packed crowd on the Woodsies stage. There was an almighty roar as she took to the stage, washed in strobe lights, and launched into her recent single Hammer. Just before her set, Glastonbury announced it had closed the Woodsies field due to overcrowding - after rumours about her appearance spread around the site. The New Zealander, whose hits include Royals, Green Light and Solar Power, previously played on the main Pyramid Stage in 2022. Her secret set coincided with the release of her highly-anticipated fourth album, Virgin, which came out at midnight. The festival's first full day of music will also see performances from CMAT, Lola Young, Alanis Morissette, Loyle Carner, Busta Rhymes, PinkPantheress, Wet Leg and Biffy Clyro. Indie band The 1975 will top the bill. There will be another "surprise" guest on the Pyramid Stage at 16:55 BST, with Lewis Capaldi heavily rumoured to be making his comeback two years after an emotional performance during which he struggled to finish his set. The Scottish singer released his new single Survive at midnight. Follow live updates from Glastonbury Lewis Capaldi releases rousing comeback amid Glastonbury rumours Glastonbury gears up for The 1975, Alanis Morissette and more Lorde's appearance was the culmination of a promotional campaign for her album, which has featured a series of impromptu fan gatherings and pop-ups - including a guerilla video shoot in New York's Washington Square Park that attracted the attention of anti-terror police. The record itself is revelatory in its candour. Lorde sings sensitively about eating disorders, body dysmorphia, the end of a long-term relationship and her shifting gender identity. "Going into this album, I had the sense that something very raw and close to the bone was wanting to come out of me," she told the Sydney Morning Herald earlier this week. "I basically felt uncomfortable the whole time. "When you're pushing yourself to the bone, or [pushing] to only tell the truth... the only way I can think to describe it is that it makes you feel very alive." In a separate interview on Stephen Colbert's US chat show, the 28-year-old also revealed she had practised MDMA therapy to overcome the stage fright that had plagued her "since I was five [years old] doing community theatre". The controlled use of MDMA, also commonly known as ecstasy or molly, has been advocated by some experts in psychedelics, as a way of tackling post-traumatic stress disorder and other mental health conditions in a therapeutic setting. It is currently legal in Australia, and permitted in limited cases in Canada and Switzerland. Lorde said the six-hour experience was particularly peaceful. "You lay on a bed, you've got an eye mask on... there's some talking," she told Colbert, adding that the effects were instant. "I tried everything for my stage fright. I did this therapy and woke up the next morning like, 'Oh, it's over. I know it's over'." Lorde's fans are now hoping she'll stick around for Charli XCX's set on Saturday night, to duet on their headline-making collaboration Girl, So Confusing. On Friday, The 1975's first Glastonbury headline performance kicks off at 22:15 on the Pyramid Stage. The band, fronted by Matty Healy, have reportedly spent four times their festival fee on a "specially designed set" for the show. Tickets for the festival sold out in just 40 minutes last November, before the line-up had even been announced. The BBC will provide full coverage across the weekend, with live and on-demand sets available on television, radio, BBC Sounds and BBC iPlayer. One exception is Saturday night's headliner Neil Young. The BBC has confirmed it will not broadcast his set live "at the artist's request". A statement added: "Our plans, including those for our TV highlights shows and on-demand coverage, continue to be finalised right up to and during the festival."

Glastonbury 2025 full line-up and stage times as festival clashes revealed
Glastonbury 2025 full line-up and stage times as festival clashes revealed The full line-up and stage times for the 2025 Glastonbury Festival has been announced, with over 3,000 performances set to take place between June 25 and 29 Glastonbury 2025 will take place from June 25 to 29 (Image: Getty Images ) The highly anticipated full 2025 Glastonbury Festival schedule has landed, boasting an impressive 3,000 performances across the five-day extravaganza from June 25 to 29. Alongside previously announced headliners The 1975, Neil Young, and Olivia Rodrigo on the iconic Pyramid Stage, fans can look forward to a diverse array of acts including Charli XCX, Doechii, Rod Stewart, Loyle Carner, The Prodigy, Wolf Alice, and En Vogue. The exact timings and potential stage clashes have now been confirmed so festivalgoers can find out exactly who will be clashing with who. Irish rap outfit Kneecap has retained its spot on the bill, taking to the stage at 4pm on Saturday despite calls for them to be axed after one member was charged with a terrorism offence for allegedly displaying a flag in support of Hezbollah last November. The Northern Irish rap trio had said the charge was part of a "witch-hunt" to prevent them performing at Glastonbury. Meanwhile, intrigue surrounds a TBA slot on Friday night on the Pyramid Stage, with an enigmatic act named 'Patchwork' scheduled for Saturday evening. This move echoes the surprise reveal of the Foo Fighters as "ChurnUps" at the 2023 festival, fuelling speculation about the true identity of 'Patchwork'.
