Was Olivia Rodrigo the largest pop star of 2025? Judging by Glastonbury …

The Glastonbury Festival 2025 officially revealed its headlines: Olivia Rodrigo, 1975 and Neil Young. The American singer will be responsible for the end of the event on Sunday 29 June, a significant milestone for his career.

The festival, considered the largest musical event open in the world, takes place in Pilton, in the United Kingdom, and receives some of the greatest music stars every year. 1975 will open the main shows on Friday 27 June, followed by Neil Young on Saturday 28 June. In addition to them, Rod Stewart had already been announced for the traditional “Slot Legends”, reserved for the icons in the sector.

The presence of Olivia Rodrigo as headliner strengthens his status as one of the most influential artists today. At 21, the singer and songwriter is gaining more and more space in industry, with successes such as “driving license”, “vampire” and “bad right idea?” Being chosen to put an end to Glastonbury – a position already occupied by names such as Paul McCartney, Beyoncé and Coldplay – symbolizes its weather ascension and the recognition of its impact on global pop.

The edition of this year of Glastonbury is even more contested, since the festival will take a break in 2026 to allow the recovery of worthy agricultural land, where the event takes place. More artists will be announced in the coming months.
