After the rush for the first batches of tickets to Glastonbury 2025 sold out in just 32 minutes on Thursday (November 14) – the second batch will go on sale today (Sunday November 17). Here’s everything you need to know.
This year saw Dua Lipa make her bombastic Pyramid Stage debut, Coldplay warming hearts alongside a handful of special guests, and SZA close the festival in a mesmerising, shape-shifting spectacle.
Elsewhere, Avril Lavigne delivered a dose of pop-punk nostalgia to one of the weekend’s biggest crowds, Kasabian popped up for an, ultimately, not-so-secret set, and Shania Twain graced the coveted legends slot with a setlist of county-pop bangers.
With 2026 set to be a fallow year, this year’s edition should be a big one. Here’s all the information you need in your quest to secure tickets for 2025, and everything else we know about Glasto 2025.
When and where do Glastonbury 2025 tickets go on sale?
Coach and ticket packages for Glastonbury 2025 sold out in just 32 minutes when they went on sale on Thursday, November 14. Standard tickets will go on sale at 9am (GMT) on Sunday November 17. Tickets will be sold exclusively here.
It’s worth noting that the Somerset festival is notoriously hard to get tickets for. For 2024’s edition, coach and ticket packages sold out in 25 minutes, and then the general ticket sale sold out in just under an hour.
If you don’t manage to secure tickets in the first round, re-sale tickets – those that are unwanted by fans or for any balances that had not been paid – usually become available in the Spring once the line-up has been revealed. This year, coach and ticket re-sale options sold out in just 18 minutes, while general admission re-sale sold out in 22 minutes.
It followed the news that Glastonbury 2024 had the “highest percentage of ticket balances paid ever” – meaning that “very limited” tickets were available in the re-sale, according to festival boss Emily Eavis.
How much do tickets to Glastonbury 2025 cost?
As revealed earlier this month, general admission tickets will be £373.50 plus a £5 booking fee, which is an increase of £18.50 from 2024. Additional fare will be added on for the coach fare depending on the destination if you purchase a coach ticket.
You’ll have to pay a £75 deposit at the time of purchase, as well as coach fare if you’re booking a coach and ticket package. The remaining balance will be payable on the first week of April 2025.
How do I register for tickets for Glastonbury 2025?
As always, you’ll need to register with basic contact details and a passport-style photo before buying tickets. Registration for 2025 is now open here, before the deadline of 5pm GMT on Monday November 11
If you registered prior to 2020 and want to try and get tickets again this year, you may need to check if you still have a valid registration. You can do that here.
How easy will it be to Glastonbury tickets? Have any changes been made?
This year, the festival have introduced a queuing system for tickets.
This means that instead of having to refresh to attempt to access the booking page once tickets go live, everyone who is already on the page will randomly be assigned a place in a queue once ticket sales begin.
Glastonbury bosses confirmed on the festival’s website: “Anyone who logs on once the sale has started will automatically be added to the back of the queue, so it’s important to make sure you are online ready at least a few minutes before the sale opens.”
Reaction to the new queuing system for the first batch of tickets was mixed, with one hopeful attendee describing it as “my new enemy,” and another saying, “Being in a queue for Glastonbury tickets is so boring what happened to manically refreshing the page every five seconds.”
Rather than being shown a number indicating their place in the queue, it appeared that people could keep track of their progress through a grey bar on their screen – the further along the queue, the more green blocks appear over the bar.
Elsewhere, they’ve introduced Google and Apple Pay payments for the first time, too.
When will Glastonbury 2025 take place?
Keeping with Glasto tradition, the 2025 festival will take place on the final weekend of June, running from Wednesday June 25 to Sunday June 29 at at Worthy Farm in Pilton, Somerset.
Who will be performing at Glastonbury 2025?
No acts have currently been confirmed, though speculation is rife.
Though rumours that Oasis would be making a return to Worthy Farm after fans noticed that the UK and Ireland leg of their reunion tour is scheduled to kick off just five days after Glastonbury 2025 ends, they promptly shut them down, saying they would not be playing Glasto “or any other festivals next year”.
Elsewhere, some fans believe Green Day will be on the line-up, given their recently-announced European festival shows of next summer are set to take place just a few days before Glastonbury.
Alanis Morissette and Olivia Rodrigo also have Glastonbury-sized gaps in their tour, while Sam Fender is among bookies’ favourites to appear.
Earlier this year, it was also reported that Cher was in “meaningful talks” about taking on the coveted Legends slot, which this year was taken on by Shania Twain.

When will the line-up for Glastonbury 2025 be revealed?
The line-up is typically announced in Spring, and this year was unveiled in mid-March.
When will the Glastonbury fallow year take place?
Aside from the festivals cancelled due to COVID, the last time Glasto had an official fallow year was in 2018. However, Emily Eavis recently confirmed a fallow year for the event at Worthy Farm set to take place in 2026 to “give the land a rest”.
That means, there will be a one-year break before Glastonbury returns in 2027.
How can I get into Glastonbury 2024 for free?
If you don’t manage to get a ticket or simply can’t afford one, then there are alternative ways to get into the festival – as long as you’re prepared to put in a bit of work. Numerous charities have a presence at the festival and require volunteers to help out across the weekend.
In return for your ticket, you’ll be asked to complete shifts across the festival – the length and number of these vary, depending on which charity you attend with. Be warned: you may have to pay a deposit for your ticket, which can be the same price as the entry to the festival. For more information, visit Glastonbury’s jobs page.
