Glastonbury 2025: 11 Must-See Acts If You're Watching The Festival At Home This Year

Glastonbury's iconic Pyramid Stage is ready to host some more iconic performnacesWhile festival-goers grapple with their tents and slap on the factor 50 for a full day in the sun, those of us who enjoy watching all of the acts live without actually having to trek down to Worthy Farm are in for a jam-packed Glastonbury weekend.This year will see the eclectic mix of The 1975, Neil Young and Olivia Rodrigo headlining on the Pyramid Stage across the three-day music event, but as any Glasto devotee will tell you, the UK festival is about so much more than its headliners.Earlier this week, the BBC unveiled initial details about which acts’ performances it would be airing on screen across Glastonbury weekend, which kicks off on Friday afternoon and spans right through to Sunday night. Music fans immediately picked up on some notable omissions, including HuffPost faves Scissor Sisters, PinkPantheress, Rachel Chinouriri and Nadine Shah, as well as Kneecap – whose Saturday set will undoubtedly be one of the biggest talking points of the whole festival – as well as the likes of Lorde and Lewis Capaldi, whose heavily-rumoured “surprise” sets haven’t actually been confirmed yet. Still, it’s worth pointing out that the BBC has said this early list is not an extensive one, and that tweaks will be made even while the festival is still ongoing, so your favourite stars could, in theory, still get there moment in the spotlight, particularly as there’ll also be live-streams on BBC’s online services from all five of Glastonbury’s main stages.Of the acts that were specifically named in the BBC’s early Glasto coverage plans, we’ve rounded up 11 of our must-watches for those who’ll be streaming from home this year, besides the obvious Pyramid Stage headliners…CMAT (Friday 27 June, 1.30pm, Pyramid Stage)CMAT on stage at Wide Awake Festival last monthKicking things off on the Pyramid Stage is a fantastic double-punch of Supergrass into CMAT, the Irish singer-songwriter who is riding a real wave of success in the run-up to her new album Euro-Country.This last week, she’s made headlines with her completely unique new single The Jamie Oliver Petrol Station, having already inadvertently sparked a TikTok trend (dubbed the “Woke Macarena”) with her frank and confessional offering Take A Sexy Picture Of Me.English Teacher (Friday 27 June, 4.30pm, Park Stage)English Teacher on stage in Manchester in AprilIf you’ve been meaning to check out English Teacher’s music ever since they won the Mercury Prize last year but never quite got round to it, here’s your chance to see how they managed to beat the likes of Charli XCX, Cat Burns, The Last Dinner Party and the aforementioned CMAT to the coveted music title. En Vogue (Friday 27 June, 5.30pm, West Holts Stage)En Vogue on stage in Boston in July 2023After spending the first half of the day checking in with who’s up-and-coming, you might well be in the mood for some old school jams and that – along with tight harmonies and stage presence – is something En Vogue can certainly deliver on.Between hits like Hold On, My Lovin’ (You’re Never Gonna Get It), Whatta Man Free Your Mind and, of course, Don’t Let Go, brace yourself for some love-makin’, heart-breakin’, soul-shakin’ loooove (sorry).Alanis Morissette (Friday 27 June, 6.15pm, Pyramid Stage)Alanis Morissette on stage in Mexico in 2023Unbelievably, 2025 marks 30 years since Alanis Morissette’s international breakthrough with her album Jagged Little Pill, and to make the occasion, the Canadian music icon is making her Glasto debut.As well as Jagged Little Pill staples like Ironic, Hand In My Pocket and You Oughta Know, we’re holding out for a few gems from the later years of her career like Thank U, Hands Clean and the beautiful Smiling. Self Esteem (Friday 27 June, 9.15pm, Park Stage)Self Esteem performing at Radio 1's Big Weekend last monthBetween her breakthrough album Prioritise Pleasure and latest release A Complicated Woman, Rebecca Lucy Taylor (known to pop fans as Self Esteem) spent time in the West End musical Cabaret, where she played leading lady Sally Bowles.Clearly, some of that theatrical magic has stayed with Self Esteem, as her recent shows and festival sets have seen her bringing the music of A Complicated Woman to life with some of her most jaw-dropping performances to date – and we have a feeling Glastonbury will be no exception. Jade (Saturday 28 June, 3.15pm, Woodies Stage)Jade performing at Radio 1's Big Weekend in LiverpoolJade’s continued ascension to the upper echelons of British pop is extremely satisfying to watch.Fresh from her first solo Brit Award win, and mere weeks away from her debut album That’s Showbiz, Baby!, the Geordie singer is poised to make her Glasto debut on the Woodsies Stage, where she’ll undoubtedly be serving up more than one slice of pop perfection, if her recent sets at Radio 1′s Big Weekend and Capital’s Summertime Ball are anything to go by.‘Patchwork’ (Saturday 28 June, 6.15pm, Pyramid Stage)Haim supporting Taylor Swift on her Eras Tour in 2023OK, we’re going to go out on a limb here and say... it’s probably Haim, right? Haim’s music always makes for effortless and breezy listening whenever we stream it, but it’s when the sisters play live that their songs really shine, and a sunny afternoon at Glastonbury sounds like the perfect spot to really let their new album I Quit sink in.And hey, if it’s not Haim, then it’s probably Pulp or Chappell Roan, either of whom would be every bit as enjoyable.Raye (Saturday 28 June, 8pm, Pyramid Stage)Raye performing at the Governors Ball Music Festival earlier this monthAfter a very publicly tumultuous few years in the music industry, Raye’s early-afternoon Glastonbury set felt like a real turning point for her back in 2023, where she was clearly stunned by the size of the crowd who turned out to watch her perform her then-recent number one hit, Escapism.Two years on, Raye is bigger than ever, and is returning to the Pyramid Stage with an even flashier spot in the schedule for what could be yet another career high for the British singer-songwriter.Charli XCX (Saturday 28 June, 10.30pm, Other Stage)Charli XCX is returning to Glastonbury for her biggest set to dateSpeaking of British performers who are finally getting their credit after years of hard work – who could have predicted the year that Charli XCX would have off the back of her album Brat? After dominating at the Brit Awards and winning her first Grammys earlier in the year, her headlining place on the Other Stage will undoubtedly feel like a victory lap for the Von Dutch singer (the BBC is also reportedly choosing to air this set live on TV, over Pyramid Stage headliner Neil Young).Doechii (Saturday 28 June, 10.45pm, West Holts Stage)Doechii performing at the Governors Ball Music Festival earlier this monthRegrettably, clashing with Charli is yet another up-and-coming performer whose star feels like it’s only continuing to rise, Doechii.We’ve been championing the Floridian rapper for some time, so to see her closing the show on Saturday night at Glastonbury is extremely satisfying.Rod Stewart (Sunday 29 June, 3.45pm, Pyramid Stage)Sir Rod Stewart performing outside Buckingham Palace in 2022Come on, it’s Rod Stewart. We say, just embrace the fun, embrace the hits and embrace that one-of-a-kind voice.READ MORE:Glastonbury Officially Open Its Gates For 2025 – And These Photos Sum Up The Pure Joy Everyone's FeelingGlastonbury Organiser Breaks Silence On Controversy Over Kneecap's Spot On This Year's Line-UpThis Is Why People Now Think Chappell Roan Is Planning A Surprise Glastonbury Set
