Olivia Rodrigo and The Prodigy Electrify Glastonbury 2025’s Final Night
An Electric Finale: Glastonbury 2025’s Closing Night
If you thought Glastonbury was running out of surprises, you clearly weren’t at Worthy Farm on the festival’s last night. Fans had already packed out every corner of the grounds before Olivia Rodrigo stepped onto the iconic Pyramid Stage, with anticipation vibrating through the crowd like a live wire. Olivia’s headline set wasn’t just a performance—it was the punctuation mark that closed out five days of music, energy, and pure chaos. Her effortless command of the crowd, jumping from vulnerable ballads to thunderous anthems, left thousands singing even as the last note faded into the dark summer sky.
But before Olivia’s confident finale, energy levels were already off the charts thanks to The Prodigy. Their blistering set drew massive crowds to their stage, serving up a wall of sound and light that had people raving, heads bobbing, and arms thrown in the air. Not every festival can blend pop brilliance with electronic mayhem, but Glastonbury has always been a place where these worlds collide, and fans chase their favorite moments from stage to stage.
Star-Studded Sets and Wall-to-Wall Coverage
Earlier in the evening, Sir Rod Stewart brought classic flair, rolling into his set with seasoned swagger and singalong hits. Meanwhile, Charli XCX dropped her own spark on the program, getting the next wave of festival-goers grooving at one of the main stages. Wet Leg were another crowd favorite, delivering infectious indie energy that had people bouncing regardless of the mud and dust kicked up after days of partying.
This year, the BBC took things up a notch, streaming more than 90 hours of content across BBC One, BBC Two, and BBC Four. It wasn’t just background noise, either—the coverage included everything from UHD broadcasts of headline sets to behind-the-scenes moments. Festival regulars Clara Amfo and Huw Stephens guided folks at home through every tent, stage, and unforgettable moment. If you were stuck streaming from your sofa, you didn’t miss a thing.
The final day wasn’t all pop and dance, either. Gary Numan slammed out his synth-driven classics to a loyal following, while Amyl and the Sniffers kept things loud and raw, giving punk fans their fix before things wound down. All of this capped off a week where earlier lineups featured modern heavyweights like Biffy Clyro rubbing shoulders with legends including Alanis Morissette and Neil Young alongside The Chrome Hearts. Even rain showers and muddy boots couldn’t stop the party.
After everything—the diverse acts, marathon broadcasting, and the never-ending crush of fans—Glastonbury 2025 reminded everyone why it’s still the wildest, most unpredictable fixture in the summer festival calendar.
