Charli xcx, Doechii & Kneecap: The Best Moments From Glastonbury 2025 Day 2

The 1975, Lorde and Lewis Capaldi were among the names who kicked off Glastonbury 2025 on Friday (June 27), the first day proper, as Worthy Farm geared up for a weekend of music, theatre, talks, film — and beyond.

The 1975 headlined the Pyramid Stage for the first time, bringing a dazzling light show and highlights from their five studio albums to Worthy Farm. Lorde, meanwhile, aired new LP Virgin in full over at Woodsies, before Capaldi made an emotional return to these shores with his first live show after an extended hiatus.

On Saturday (June 28), meanwhile, the news stories continued to roll in: Kneecap stormed West Holts after a month of headline-making controversies, TBA act “Patchwork” turned out to be Britpop icons Pulp, and Neil Young graced the Pyramid Stage with a career-spanning set.

Charli xcx seized her crowning moment over on The Other Stage, while there were also thrilling sets from homegrown talent Beabadoobee, Alessi Rose and Bob Vylan.

These were the best moments Billboard U.K. witnessed at Glastonbury Festival on day 2.
