The wait is over: Glastonbury Festival has lifted the curtain on its 2025 Woodsies and Tree Stage lineups, revealing an audacious mix of euphoric headliners, genre-pushing newcomers, and immersive soundscape creators. Together, these twin stages promise to offer festivalgoers something rare: a place to feel, think, move, and breathe within the wild and wondrous edges of Worthy Farm.

Tucked into the northwest of the site, Woodsies has emerged as one of Glastonbury’s most adventurous and character-rich areas — a playground for indie purists, pop innovators, and artists who colour far outside the lines.
Four Tet, one of the most beloved figures in underground electronic music, will close out the weekend with a masterclass in build-and-release. His live shows fuse meditative minimalism with hypnotic beats, and under the Woodsies canopy, his set is sure to feel like a sacred rite. Scissor Sisters make a glorious return, bringing their signature camp-disco chaos and Broadway-worthy bombast. Expect a sea of glitter, singalongs, and possibly the most joyful dance party of the weekend.
Jake Shears @ The O2
Jorja Smith, whose voice drips with soul and sincerity, will grace the stage with a set likely to traverse heartbreak, empowerment, and everything in between. Floating Points, the mastermind of genre-melting sound design, will deliver a brain-bending journey into jazz, classical, and club rhythms. AJ Tracey, one of the UK’s most dynamic and versatile rappers, adds serious firepower to the lineup, while Tom Odell’s heart-on-sleeve piano ballads offer a perfect emotional counterpoint.
St. Vincent @ Brixton Academy
Festival favourites Weezer bring their tongue-in-cheek power-pop classics to the farm, promising a nostalgia-tinged singalong session. St. Vincent — one of modern music’s most inventive visionaries — will wield her genre-bending guitar theatrics and art-pop prowess in a performance that’s bound to be both thrilling and unpredictable.
Weezer @ Wembley Arena
DJO (aka Joe Keery from Stranger Things) steps into his own spotlight, channeling woozy psychedelia and synth-soaked hooks with a vintage charm while the ever-vibrant hard rock duo Nova Twins will rip the tent apart, no doubt!
Nova Twins @ The O2
Glastonbury always champions the next wave — and 2025 is no exception. Rising stars like PinkPantheress, Sprints, Gurriers, Lola Young, Fat Dog, Jade, and the provocatively named Fcukers are bringing bold new energy, blurring the lines between punk, grime, alt-pop, and experimental rock.
Gurriers @ O2 Academy Brixton
Indie darlings Blossoms, post-rock adventurers Black Country, New Road, alt-R&B project Sorry, and festival-hardened acts like Shed Seven and The Amazons round out a bill that balances discovery with fan-favourite familiarity.

Brand new for 2025, the Tree Stage is not just a stage — it’s a portal. Hidden beneath a lush canopy of foliage, lanterns, and sonic possibility, this area is dedicated to ambient music, ritual, deep listening, and spiritual exploration. Jon Hopkins leads the charge with a powerful and meditative playback of his new project Embodiment Breathing, offering a rare opportunity for communal stillness in the middle of festival madness.
Fellow electronic luminaries Max Cooper, Daniel Avery, Wata Igarashi, and Hannah Holland bring deeply textured ambient and experimental sets late into the night — perfect for lying on your back and watching the trees sway overhead. Leon Vynehall presents Warm Romantic, a bespoke ambient performance filled with memory, warmth, and tactile sound. From techno originator Juan Atkins (Ambient) to the intricate minimalism of Mathew Jonson and Alexis Taylor (of Hot Chip), this is a lineup made for introspection as much as movement.
Yann Tiersen, famed for Amélie, will soundtrack dusk with haunting piano pieces and analogue dreams. Gwenno, Laura Misch, Arushi Jain, Tara Lily, and Hinako Omori weave electronic music with classical, jazz, folk, and spirituality — crafting live experiences that are as emotionally resonant as they are sonically innovative.
Ecological sound artist Chris Watson, psychedelic priestess Daisy Rickman, and immersive guides like Cherub Sanson & Tim Wheater will explore the intersection of nature, identity, and imagination. From Singing With Nightingales (led by Sam Lee & Axel Wild), to ritualistic reflections like Whale Song Bath: How To Be A Whale and Out Here Presents: Ice Thaw, this is a stage that treats sound as ceremony. Workshops, guided meditations, storytelling, and wellness sessions — including Dele Sosimi’s Afrobeat Workshop and Aminadabu’s Flame of Hope — round out the experience.
Wander the treewalk above The Wood, a starlit trail through the canopy, and gather around the Tolpuddle Fire — a space of storytelling, solidarity, and subversion. Named after the 19th-century trade union martyrs, it anchors the area with revolutionary spirit and radical warmth. Together, Woodsies and the Tree Stage offer a complete sensory ecosystem — where day becomes night, mosh pits become meditations, and music meets meaning.
Whether you’re here to dance your heart out, drift in a sound bath, or discover your new favorite artist in a tucked-away grove, Glastonbury 2025 invites you to lose — and find — yourself in the woods.
Glastonbury Festival returns to Worthy Farm, Somerset from June 25th–29th, 2025.
