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.

Will Kareena Kapoor rewrite Bollywood norms by romancing a 20-year-younger actor?

Highlights:

  • Kareena Kapoor Khan to star as a ghost in an upcoming genre-bending film
  • The 44-year-old actress will reportedly be paired with an actor in his early 20s
  • Script is penned by Hussain Dalal, known for Brahmāstra
  • The film explores a quirky new take on the ghost genre and is currently unannounced

Kareena Kapoor Khan is reportedly all set to headline a new supernatural film, but with an unconventional twist. The Bollywood star, who turned 44 this year, will be seen playing a ghost in the upcoming project, which is also said to feature a much younger male lead, an actor in his early 20s. If confirmed, this pairing will mark a rare age-reversal in Bollywood casting, where older male actors have long romanced much younger actresses on screen.

According to reports, the film is described as a genre-defying and humorous take on ghost stories. The story is said to be written by Hussain Dalal, known for co-writing Brahmāstra and frequently collaborating with director Ayan Mukerji. While Kareena’s role as a female ghost is being celebrated as bold and experimental, her reported romantic pairing with a 20-something actor is what has caught everyone’s attention.
