Matty Healy’s band prepares a one-of-a-kind Glastonbury moment
The 1975, led by frontman Matty Healy, will close out Friday night at Worthy Farm in what is being billed as a major artistic statement. Their manager, Jamie Oborne, recently shared that the band has invested four times their fee into building a special stage experience just for Glastonbury, suggesting fans can expect a highly visual, immersive set. The concert is their sole live appearance in 2025, giving the headline slot an added layer of exclusivity and buzz.
Fans are hopeful for a preview of tracks from their rumoured sixth album, God Has Entered My Body (GHEMB), though no official release details have been confirmed.
Surprise sets stir speculation as Glastonbury embraces the unexpected
In true Glastonbury fashion, mystery acts are driving some of the loudest online chatter. Lorde, who recently posted cryptic hints on Instagram, is almost certain to perform a secret set at the Woodsies tent at 11:30 AM, based on new stage signage and her recent social media tease.
Also heavily rumoured is Lewis Capaldi’s potential return to live music. After stepping back from touring in 2023 to focus on his health, the Scottish singer just dropped a new single titled Survive, coinciding with a prime “TBA” slot on the Pyramid Stage this afternoon.
