Glastonbury 2025 – Your Quick Guide
Glastonbury is back and the hype is real. Whether you’re a first‑timer or a regular, you want the basics straight: who’s playing, how to get a ticket, and what to bring. Below you’ll find the most useful info without any fluff.
Tickets and When to Buy
The ticket lottery opens in early October. Set a reminder – the site fills up in minutes and you’ll miss out if you’re late. You need a valid ID and a UK address; overseas fans can join a resale platform once the official tickets sell out. Prices start around £260 for a standard ticket, plus a £50 service fee.
If you’re lucky enough to get a ticket, grab a payment plan if you need it. The plan spreads the cost over three months and saves you the stress of a big upfront payment. Don’t forget the camping pass – it’s £50 extra and gives you a spot in the designated Glastonbury fields.
Travel, Camping and What to Pack
Getting to the festival is easier than you think. The most popular options are the special Glastonbury train from London Paddington to Somerhill or a coach from Bristol. Book your seat early – the rides sell out just like the tickets. If you’re driving, make sure you have a valid parking permit; the lot fills up fast and you’ll be stuck on the A361 otherwise.
Camping is part of the Glastonbury experience. A good tent, a sturdy groundsheet, and a simple sleeping bag are enough for most weather. Bring a rain poncho, waterproof boots, and a reusable water bottle. The site has free water refill stations, so you’ll stay hydrated without buying plastic.
Food and drink are sold all over the farm, but prices are higher than at home. Packing some snacks – like granola bars or fruit – can save you a few pounds. Keep your cash in a zip‑lock bag and don’t rely on cards only; the network can be spotty in the fields.
If you plan to stay after the main sets, check the schedule for the “late night” stages. They run until 2 am and often feature surprise acts. Bring a light jacket – evenings get chilly, even in summer.
Safety is a top priority at Glastonbury. Wear comfortable shoes, stay with your group, and use the app’s map feature to locate first‑aid tents. The staff are friendly; just ask if you’re unsure about anything.
Lastly, think about your exit plan. The festival ends early on Monday, but trains and buses run later than usual. Have a backup ride home or a nearby hotel booked if you’re tired after a long weekend.
With tickets sorted, travel booked, and a solid packing list, you’re set to enjoy Glastonbury 2025. The line‑up promises a mix of legends and fresh faces, so grab your ticket, pack smart, and get ready for a weekend you’ll talk about for years.
