Paul McCartney surprises Glastonbury crowd with Dave Grohl and Bruce Springsteen duets
Independent TV
Glastonbury 2025 is on the horizon, and as ever, will no doubt be packed with history-making performances, powerful speeches and surprise appearances.
This year is the last Glastonbury before it takes a fallow year, allowing the land at Worthy Farm to recover - so there's no excuse not to throw the biggest party yet.
Headliners this year include Olivia Rodrigo, The 1975, and Neil Young, alongside a legends' slot from Rod Stewart on Sunday afternoon.

While we love the performances from the 100 stages across the festival, undoubtedly one of Glastonbury's greatest qualities, is the ever-hilarious flags people bring along to wave among the crowds.
Here are the best flags we've seen from the festival over the years...
