Loyle Carner Shines at Glastonbury 2025: Setlist, Stage Time, and Tour Highlights
Loyle Carner Lights Up Glastonbury 2025
Night fell over Worthy Farm, and at precisely 10:35 PM on June 27, Loyle Carner claimed his spot at Glastonbury 2025. If you’re a British hip-hop fan, you know this set was one of the most anticipated on the bill. Carner’s performance pulled a massive crowd, all eager to hear his unique blend of poetry and layered beats. This wasn’t just a greatest hits show; his setlist mixed recent releases and older tracks that grabbed attention right from the start.
He opened with “in my mind,” setting a chilled but charged atmosphere. As the night rolled on, he delivered fan favorites such as “all i need,” “Ain't Nothing Changed,” and “Yesterday.” By the time he hit the middle of the set with “Damselfly” and “horcrux,” the audience was right there with him, hooked on every word. Carner also dove into deeper cuts like “Desoleil (Brilliant Corners)” and “Homerton,” a sign he wasn’t just sticking to chart-friendly material.
Toward the end, the energy only went up. “Nobody Knows (Ladas Road)” and “lyin” brought big reactions, and tracks like “Loose Ends” and “about time” reminded everyone why Carner is so respected in the UK music scene. Each song had the crowd either leaning in for lyrics or bouncing along to the beat—sometimes both.
The hugo Tour and Festival Buzz
His Glastonbury gig was just one stop on the hugo Tour, which kept the momentum going with a show at O2 Academy Bristol two days earlier, on June 25. There, fans got a couple of extras, with “time to go” and “Still” joining the setlist. Each night, the flow and mood felt carefully crafted, and while the tracks shifted a bit, the energy stayed high.
Of course, at a festival like Glastonbury, clashes are part of the deal. Though there’s no detailed schedule of which artists overlapped with Carner’s set, the field was packed with other massive names jockeying for the crowd’s attention. Acts like Jordan Rakei, Biffy Clyro, and RAYE were drawing big crowds, too, making choices tough for anyone who wanted to see it all. Glastonbury always means navigating a maze of good music, and this year was no exception.
If you were hoping for the perfect spot up front, you had to be strategic; lines started forming far ahead of Carner’s start time. Those who managed to catch his performance left knowing they’d witnessed something special—a blend of old favorites, new risks, and the vibes that make festival memories stick.
With the hugo Tour rolling on, and festival season in full swing, Loyle Carner keeps proving why he’s headlining the conversation in British music. Fans are already buzzing about where he’ll pop up next and what surprises might be in store.
