The 1975 at Glastonbury 2025: 5 Best Moments From The Band’s Stunning Headline Set

Published

Ribbons of cigarette smoke, the rear half of a vintage car, a tattered leather jacket and black biker glove, box tattoos in full view: strewn across the Pyramid Stage were markers of The 1975’s visual iconography from the past decade. Bathed in blistering white light, frontman Matty Healy came out swinging, clutching a pint of Guinness with a cigarette permanently affixed above his ear – a near-caricature of the gloomy, near-grungy rock star he started out as with the band’s 2013 self-titled LP.
The push-pull between vulnerability and an exploration of aesthetics has always been there in The 1975’s music, manifesting in a trove of deep online lore, something which the band themselves tapped into as they hit the Pyramid Stage on Friday (June 27). “We are The 1975 from the internet,” Healy quipped at one point, staring down the camera with a conspiratorial glimmer in his eye.
For an hour and a half, without any instances of controversy-stoking showmanship – their last tour saw Healy devour raw meat on stage, lest we forget – the band turned over highlights from all five of their studio albums, highlighting the malleability and depth of their catalogue. This was a display of the questing musical curiosity which has made the band so beloved by Gen Z, an audience that is omnivorous in its taste, having grown up with infinite streaming possibilities.
Hits of contrasting styles were rattled out one after the other, pairing the band’s vintage teen-angst anthems with newer, more mature material. Healy offered earnest pronouncements about the band’s 23-year-long friendship and what this moment meant to him – walking the line between tormented pop star and a conflicted, deeply human figure.
There is an argument to be made, perhaps, that a set devoid of an element of surprise is a safe – and intriguing – approach to headlining the world’s biggest stage. But from that decision came a genuinely immersive experience; even if, at times, it didn’t raise many eyebrows, it was the kind of uplifting finely crafted Glastonbury set that no one present is likely to forget in a hurry.
Here are the five best moments from their headline show below.
