Glastonbury 2025 – Your Quick Guide to Dates, Tickets, Lineup and Planning

If you’re thinking about heading to Glastonbury this year, you probably have a lot of questions. When does it start? How do you get a ticket? Who’s playing? This guide breaks down the basics so you can stop worrying and start packing.

When and Where: Dates & Venue

Glastonbury 2025 runs from Friday, June 27 to Sunday, June 29. The festival is set on Worthy Farm, near Glastonbury, Somerset. The site stays the same – a huge field with several stages, camping areas and food courts. Early June can be cool, so bring a warm jacket and a waterproof jacket for sudden showers. The fields get muddy, so sturdy boots are a must.

Tickets, Lineup & Planning Tips

Tickets are sold in two phases: the main sale in October 2024 and a resale in March 2025. Sign up for the official Glastonbury mailing list – you’ll get a reminder when the sale opens. When you buy, you’ll need a valid ID and a photo. The resale often has tickets left for people who missed the first round, so keep checking.

The 2025 lineup has been announced in stages. Headliners include a mix of rock, pop and indie acts – think big‑name bands that sell out arenas plus a few surprise surprise guests. Look for the official schedule on the festival site; it’s updated weekly. If you have a favorite artist, mark the stage and time early, because popular sets fill up fast.

Traveling to Worthy Farm is easier if you plan ahead. The most common ways are train to Castle Cary (about 15 minutes away) and then a shuttle bus, or a coach from major cities like London, Bristol and Exeter. Driving is possible, but parking spots are limited and expensive. If you decide to camp, book a spot in the official campsite – it’s included with your ticket and has basic facilities like toilets, showers and a first‑aid tent.

While you’re at the festival, remember to stay hydrated and use the free water refill stations. Food prices are higher than normal, but you can bring your own snacks if you keep them sealed. Most people bring a refillable bottle, a portable charger and a small daypack for essentials.

Security is tight, so pack light. No large bags, glass bottles or weapons are allowed. The staff checks IDs at each entrance, and you’ll need to show your ticket and a photo ID each day you attend.

Finally, make the most of the extra experiences. Glastonbury offers art installations, workshops, and a kids' area if you’re bringing family. Check the daily programme for special events like sunrise yoga, comedy stages or late‑night DJ sets. These add a lot of value beyond the main concerts.

With the dates set, tickets ready, and a plan for travel and camping, you’re all set for Glastonbury 2025. Keep an eye on the official website for any updates, and get ready for three days of music, mud and unforgettable memories.
