Are The 1975 headlining Glastonbury 2025?

Rumours of the band are set to divide music fans.

The 1975 are in the running to headline the 2025 Glastonbury Festival, according to The Sun.

A source tells the newspaper: “Matty and his bandmates are more than ready to play the Pyramid Stage and they are available.

“Festival organiser Emily Eavis has long wanted The 1975 on board, but they couldn’t make it work last year.

“They are being lined up for the ­Friday slot at the moment, and all the signs are really positive.”

The 1975, formed in 2002 in Wilmslow, Cheshire, rose to fame with their self-titled debut album released in 2013. The band, consisting of lead vocalist and rhythm guitarist Matty Healy, lead guitarist Adam Hann, bassist Ross MacDonald, and drummer George Daniel, has achieved critical acclaim and commercial success - but are controversial among music fans due to their unique sound and Matty’s political views.

The band are the latest in a string of artists to be linked with the coveted headline slots. Other artists in the running include Taylor Swift, Radiohead and Sam Fender.

Cher has also been linked with next year’s Legend’s slot.

The music festival, which has sold out, will take a break in 2026 to enable the land to “recover”. It will be broadcast in the UK on BBC Sounds, BBC tv channel and iPlayer.
