Glastonbury 2025 live updates: Gates opening time, weather latest and full lineup

Thousands of people will descend on Glastonbury as the famous music festival in Somerset opens its gates for 2025.

Campers arriving at Worthy Farm in Pilton can expect a mixed bag of sunshine and rain throughout the week with “with sunny spells and scattered showers expected throughout the day” on Wednesday, according to forecasters.

This year’s event will see headline performances from British rock/pop band The 1975, veteran singer Neil Young and his band the Chrome Hearts, and US pop star Olivia Rodrigo.

Glastonbury co-organiser Emily Eavis will open the gates today at 8am BST.

It’s good news – the latest forecast is offering hope festival-goers will avoid extreme conditions at Worthy Farm! Dare we say: leave those wellies where they are.

Glastonbury might be known as one of the world’s greenest festivals, thanks to its setting in the picturesque Somerset countryside, but every so often the weather turns foul and those verdant fields are churned up into brown sludge.

As many fans will attest, over the years there have been a number of memorable occasions where guests spent more time trying to pry their wellies out of the mud than they did watching bands perform.

Some take this as a cue to give up and go home, while others decide to lean into it, resulting in some of the more iconic pictures of Glastonbury Festival.

Here are five of the muddiest Glastonbury festivals in memory.
