Irish acts to watch at Glastonbury 2025
The fields of Worthy Farm are calling once again as Glastonbury 2025 gets underway from 25 - 29 June, and there's no shortage of Irish talent making the pilgrimage to the world's most iconic music festival. From breakout stars to festival legends, here are the Irish acts flying the tricolour at this year's Glasto. CMAT - Pyramid Stage, Friday, 1:30pm Kicking off the Irish invasion in style is CMAT, who lands a prestigious early slot on the Pyramid Stage. The alt-pop powerhouse from Dublin has had a whirlwind year - viral hits, festival buzz, and sell-out shows - and now she's bringing her cowgirl chaos to the biggest stage of them all. Expect sequins, sass and singalongs. The Script - Pyramid Stage, Saturday, 3pm The Script return to Glastonbury with a feel-good Saturday afternoon set that's bound to be a crowd-pleaser. Their back catalogue is festival gold (Breakeven, The Man Who Can't Be Moved, Hall of Fame), and with frontman Danny O'Donoghue leading the charge, Irish fans are expected to turn out in force. Kneecap - West Holts Stage, Saturday, 4pm Love them or loathe them, there's no ignoring Kneecap. The Belfast hip-hop trio are making their Glastonbury debut with a fiercely anticipated West Holts set. Known for their bilingual bars, political bite, and unapologetic stage presence, this is guaranteed to be one of the most talked-about performances of the weekend. Inhaler - Other Stage, Friday, 2:15pm Dublin rockers Inhaler, fronted by Elijah Hewson (yes, Bono's son), are carving out their own path - and their Glastonbury return marks another big step. With a slick indie sound and two acclaimed albums behind them, they'll light up the Other Stage on Friday afternoon. Snow Patrol - Other Stage, Sunday, 6pm Festival veterans Snow Patrol bring the weekend full circle with a golden hour slot on Sunday evening. The Northern Irish band's biggest hits (Chasing Cars, Run, Open Your Eyes) are practically made for emotional sing-alongs under a pink Glasto sky. Sprints - Other Stage, Friday (TBC) If you like your live music raw and raucous, don't miss Sprints. The Dublin punk-rockers are building serious buzz with their gritty sound and fearless lyrics. Early signs suggest a Friday slot on the Other Stage - perfect for an explosive start to the weekend. Acoustic Stage Irish Highlights Away from the main madness, Irish music lovers will find plenty of homegrown soul on the Acoustic Stage. The Coronas return with their feel-good indie anthems while the Hothouse Flowers are set to bring decades of musical magic. Singer-songwriters Oisín Leech and Lorraine Nash will offer stripped-back, heartfelt sets - ideal for lazy summer afternoons on the grass.

Who is Danny O'Donoghue's wife Anais Naing?
After nothing short of a turbulent few years, The Script's Danny O'Donoghue has officially tied the knot with events manager Anais Naing. The singer announced last year that he and his partner of several years, Anais, had gotten engaged following a sweet proposal, leaving his beau shocked and thrilled! The pair tied the knot over the weekend at the stunning Babington House in Somerset. Danny O'Donogue and Anais Naing. Photo: Favid M. Benett/for National Geographic French national Naing has been with The Script singer Danny O'Donoghue for a number of years, with the couple making their relationship official at the Pride of Britain Awards in 2021. The Events manager, 27, hails from Britanny in Northern France but has lived in London for a number of years due to her work. After moving to the UK some years back, the French native found herself living in the same London suburb as O'Donoghue, 43, who had been living there for over ten years at the time. During the COVID-19 pandemic, O'Donoghue told The Sun that he and Naing would spend time just 'hanging out' in either of their London pads when restrictions were in place.

Pic:for BBC Earth Launch It was just before the lockdown stages of the COVID-19 pandemic that Naing, 30, and 'Breakeven' singer O'Donoghue became acquainted after they had a chance encounter close to both of their homes, which are located in the same area of London–their paths crossed on the street. Naing, who had been living in the city for seven years at the time, became friendly with O'Donoghue. The pair spent some time in each other's homes getting to know one another during the Covid-19 lockdown in London before deciding to try dating following Danny's breakup with Brazilian model Anne De Paula in 2018. Speaking to the Irish Independent back in 2021, after going public with his relationship, Balinteer native Danny said: 'It's funny because we spent longer together in lockdown than we did in real life,' he said. 'She's from Brittany in France. She's an events manager aged 27, who has been living in the English capital for seven years.'

(Photo by) The Script's lead singer also revealed that he had introduced his then-girlfriend to his mum, who gave her a seal of approval and 'offered her lots of tea'. Danny has already taken Anais to a place in Co Wicklow numerous times. The place they visited had a beach, but there wasn't any Wi-Fi – 'and you're not going to get more rural than that,' the Dubliner joked. Danny O'Donoghue of The Script performs at Electric Picnic. Pic:Danny announced in mid-August last year that he had proposed to his loving partner, Anais, in one of his favourite places in the world. Naing is said to have been shocked and thrilled following the sweet proposal. He told the Sun. 'We hiked up to the top of a mountain to face the most beautiful waterfall in the world, The Seven Sisters. It's our favourite place on earth. 'I nearly passed out from exhaustion carrying up all the champagne, glasses and food for if she said yes. I had to do it all without her knowing.' Danny recently shared insights about his relationship with Anais and confirmed she's the one for him. Danny O'Donoghue and Anais Niang. Pic:for BBC Earth Launch Danny said to the Sunday World: 'When you know, you know… I knew when it wasn't right, but now I know whatever that is, that it's one hundred per cent right. 'She's great. I met her during Covid, and if you've been with anybody through Covid, it's like you compress ten years into those years… 'You learn everything, all the good bits, mostly the bad bits, and if you get through those moments… I don't know if it's a rite of passage, if you've made it through those few years then you know.' The sweet engagement announcement comes after a devastating year for Danny, which included the passing of bandmate and best friend Mark Sheehan, 46, in 2023. The first photos of the stunning nuptials were shared on Sunday by wedding photographers Tom and Laura Falkbenburg. In the snaps, Danny dons a traditional black suit complete with a bow-tie and white flowers in the lapel. Anais stuns in a white silk wedding dress which she paired with matching gloves and a long veil. 'It was an absolute honour to join Anais and Danny for their wedding at Babington House this weekend,' The Falkenburgs wrote. 'A dream to work with two such kind and generous souls, and a joy to collaborate with such a talented team of creatives.' A second photo shared by the photographers sees Danny and Anais walking down the aisle after the nuptials, with both beaming and their attendees clapping in delight.
