Tickets for next year’s Glastonbury Festival sold out in a record-breaking 35 minutes on Sunday, with more than 200,000 attendees expected to descend on the iconic music event in rural southwest England.
Sales opened at 9:00am (0900 GMT), and by 9:35am, organisers confirmed on social media platform X that “Tickets for Glastonbury 2025 have now sold out.”
“We’d like to thank everyone who bought a ticket, and we’re sorry to those who missed out, as demand far outstripped supply this morning,” the statement read. “There will be a resale of any cancelled or returned tickets in spring 2025.”
With British-Albanian pop sensation Dua Lipa and indie rock legends Coldplay headlining in 2024, discussions are already underway to secure big names for next year’s event, which will run from June 25 to 29.
The sight of thousands of colorful tents covering the fields of Worthy Farm in Pilton has become a defining image of British summer since the festival’s inception in 1970. Over 3,000 performances across more than 80 stages will be accompanied by late-night parties, art installations, and vibrant parades, making Glastonbury a multi-sensory celebration of music, culture, and community.
Standard tickets for 2025 are priced at £373.50 ($471.50).
Founded in 1970 as the Pilton Festival, Glastonbury was inspired by the counterculture and hippie movements of the 1960s. Glam rock pioneers T. Rex were the first headliners, and since then, the festival has grown to attract global icons such as David Bowie, Paul McCartney, Stormzy, and Elton John, who performed his final UK concert there last year.
Event organiser Emily Eavis has confirmed that Glastonbury will take a year off in 2026 to “give the land a rest,” marking a brief hiatus for the much-loved festival.
