Glastonbury 2025: how to buy tickets, who's playing and everything you need to know
Glastonbury 2025: how and when to buy tickets, how much they'll cost, when re-sale begins, who will be on the line-up and more.
After the first batches of tickets to Glastonbury 2025 sold out last November and with the first line-up now revealed, hereâs everything you need to know about this yearâs festival.
Last year saw Dua Lipa make her bombastic Pyramid Stage debut, Coldplay warming hearts alongside a handful of special guests, and SZA close the festival in a mesmerising, shape-shifting spectacle.

Elsewhere, Avril Lavigne delivered a dose of pop-punk nostalgia to one of the weekendâs biggest crowds, Kasabian popped up for an, ultimately, not-so-secret set, and Shania Twain graced the coveted legends slot with a setlist of county-pop bangers.
With 2026 set to be a fallow year, this yearâs edition should be a big one. Hereâs all the information you need in your quest to secure tickets for 2025, and everything else we know about Glasto 2025.
When and where do Glastonbury 2025 tickets go on sale? When is the re-sale?Â
Coach and ticket packages for Glastonbury 2025 sold out in just 32 minutes when they went on sale on Thursday, November 14. Standard tickets then went on sale on Sunday November 17 before being snapped in just 35 minutes.
The Somerset festival is notoriously hard to get tickets for. For 2024âs edition, coach and ticket packages sold out in 25 minutes, and then the general ticket sale sold out in just under an hour.
If you donât manage to secure tickets in the first round, re-sale tickets â those that are unwanted by fans or for any balances that had not been paid â usually become available in the Spring once the line-up has been revealed. Last year, coach and ticket re-sale options sold out in just 18 minutes, while general admission re-sale sold out in 22 minutes.

It followed the news that Glastonbury 2024 had the âhighest percentage of ticket balances paid everâ â meaning that âvery limitedâ tickets were available in the re-sale, according to festival boss Emily Eavis.

As revealed earlier this month, general admission tickets will be ÂŁ373.50 plus a ÂŁ5 booking fee, which is an increase of ÂŁ18.50 from 2024. Additional fare will be added on for the coach fare depending on the destination if you purchase a coach ticket.
Youâll have to pay a ÂŁ75 deposit at the time of purchase, as well as coach fare if youâre booking a coach and ticket package. The remaining balance will be payable on the first week of April 2025.
How do I register for tickets for Glastonbury 2025?Advertisement
As always, youâll need to register with basic contact details and a passport-style photo before buying tickets. Registration for 2025 is now open here, before the deadline of 5pm GMT on Monday November 11
If you registered prior to 2020 and want to try and get tickets again this year, you may need to check if you still have a valid registration. You can do that here.
How easy will it be to Glastonbury tickets? Have any changes been made?
This year, the festival have introduced a queuing system for tickets.
This means that instead of having to refresh to attempt to access the booking page once tickets go live, everyone who is already on the page will randomly be assigned a place in a queue once ticket sales begin.
Glastonbury bosses confirmed on the festivalâs website: âAnyone who logs on once the sale has started will automatically be added to the back of the queue, so itâs important to make sure you are online ready at least a few minutes before the sale opens.â
Reaction to the new queuing system for the first batch of tickets was mixed, with one hopeful attendee describing it as âmy new enemy,â and another saying, âBeing in a queue for Glastonbury tickets is so boring what happened to manically refreshing the page every five seconds.â
Rather than being shown a number indicating their place in the queue, it appeared that people could keep track of their progress through a grey bar on their screen â the further along the queue, the more green blocks appear over the bar.
Elsewhere, theyâve introduced Google and Apple Pay payments for the first time, too.
When will Glastonbury 2025 take place?
Keeping with Glasto tradition, the 2025 festival will take place on the final weekend of June, running from Wednesday June 25 to Sunday June 29 at at Worthy Farm in Pilton, Somerset.

Who will be performing at Glastonbury 2025?
In early March, organisers shared the first line-up poster for Glastonbury 2025 (see below). It revealed that the previously-confirmed Neil Young would be gracing the Pyramid Stage with his live band The Chrome Hearts on Saturday night. Heâll headline alongside The 1975 and Olivia Rodrigo on Friday and Sunday, respectively.
Topping the bill over on the Other Stage will be Loyle Carner (Friday), Charli XCX (Saturday) and The Prodigy (Sunday).
Other big names across the weekend include Biffy Clyro, The Maccabees, Lucy Dacus, Father John Misty, RAYE, Wolf Alice, The Prodigy, Doechii, St. Vincent, Deftones, Scissor Sisters, The Libertines and Wet Leg.
Thereâs a host of Glasto first-timers, too. These include Alanis Morissette, Noah Kahan, Lola Young, Myles Smith (winner of this yearâs BRITs Rising Star award), Busta Rhymes, Brandi Carlile and Gary Numan.
Also among the first acts were Weezer, AJ Tracey, Future Islands, JADE, TV On The Radio, Self Esteem, CMAT, Blossoms, Jorja Smith and Turnstile. Organisers promised that âmany more acts and attractions [were] still to be announcedâ in the coming months.
Glastonbury traditionally begins revealing its separate area line-ups later in the year, before unveiling the full stage times and day splits. In the meantime, you can see the first poster here:

Aside from the festivals cancelled due to COVID, the last time Glasto had an official fallow year was in 2018. However, Emily Eavis recently confirmed a fallow year for the event at Worthy Farm set to take place in 2026 to âgive the land a restâ.
That means, there will be a one-year break before Glastonbury returns in 2027.
How can I get into Glastonbury 2024 for free?Â
If you donât manage to get a ticket or simply canât afford one, then there are alternative ways to get into the festival â as long as youâre prepared to put in a bit of work. Numerous charities have a presence at the festival and require volunteers to help out across the weekend.
In return for your ticket, youâll be asked to complete shifts across the festival â the length and number of these vary, depending on which charity you attend with. Be warned: you may have to pay a deposit for your ticket, which can be the same price as the entry to the festival. For more information, visit Glastonburyâs jobs page.
