It seems like CMAT’s set on the Pyramid stage this afternoon is one of the weekend’s most-anticipated – more than one of my friends has emphatically declared it the Summer of CMAT. In addition to her powerhouse voice, the rising Irish star is just great for a quote. Check out Alexis Petridis’s interview with her from earlier this month:
Best way to avoid the crowds? Be an A-list musician, it seems: Elle has spotted Charli xcx watching her friend Lorde from the side of the stage, and Safi just saw Carl Cox checking out Fabio and Grooverider.
The intrepid Elle Hunt has identified a few cases of WFG (work from Glastonbury) out in the field.
Of course you’d assume that everyone at Glastonbury today has taken annual leave, but there surely must be some gadabouts who are “working from home” and logging into Gmail to periodically refresh their status. Good on them I say. After all many more will be on leave but obliged to be “on email” from the field. I glimpsed a young woman in the crowd for Lorde furiously responding to messages on Slack. It never rests ...
Welcome to Glastonbury 2025!

Hello from Worthy Farm! It’s Glastonbury’s final outing before taking a fallow year in 2026 in order for the site to recuperate, and if Thursday night’s merriment is any indication, the crowd will absolutely be making this one count – here’s hoping we’re not all burnt out by Sunday evening. Today is starting off with a bang: Lorde, who released her fourth album Virgin today, just confirmed via social media that she’s the “TBA” artist opening the Woodsies stage today – and, naturally, that tent is already at capacity. We’ll have a review of that set – and the rest of the day’s acts, including the 1975, Alanis Morrisette and more – very soon.
