At Glastonbury Festival 2025, Neil Young delivered a headline performance on the Pyramid Stage featuring classic songs such as "Harvest Moon," "Sun Green," and "Rockin' In The Free World." Reviews highlighted the passion and simplicity of his no-frills set, though some noted his voice was not as strong as in the past and that he occasionally veered into political gestures. Despite a thinner crowd than expected, Young's performance was praised for its reverence to classic rock. Olivia Rodrigo also headlined the festival, opening her set with "Obsessed" and performing hits like "Vampire," "All-American Bitch," and "Get Him Back," concluding with a fireworks display. Her performance was described as triumphant, with Rodrigo outshining veteran artists and drawing the largest crowd she has ever seen. Other notable acts included Rod Stewart, who received mixed reviews for his Glastonbury set, and Wolf Alice, who previewed songs from their new album "The Clearing" and covered Fleetwood Mac's "Dreams." The festival showcased a blend of established legends and rising stars across its lineup.
