Glastonbury Sunday: Olivia Rodrigo rocks, Rod Stewart fades, and more top moments from day three

Olivia Rodrigo - Leon Neal/Getty Images

The final day at Worthy Farm was much less contentious (albeit with continuing fallout from the Kneecap/Bob Vylan controversy), putting the focus on a sub-par Rod Stewart set and another set of wildly contrasting headliners: 22-year-old Olivia Rodrigo vs The Prodigy. Our writers went all over the festival to bring you the latest updates, reviews, news and much more. Here are Neil McCormick’s top moments, and keep scrolling for a full recap of all the action from our journalists and critics in the field. 

Olivia Rodrigo shows the oldies how it’s done

Glastonbury’s youngest Pyramid Stage headliner delivered a monster set that crossed the best of old rock values and contemporary pop energy. Olivia Rodrigo came to conquer. She brought out the big guns, all the fireworks, pyro, smoke, illuminated beach balls...and goth legend Robert Smith. It felt like a symbolic passing of the torch at a festival increasingly confused about its generation-spanning identity. Stay tuned for Neil’s full review of Rodrigo’s set.

Chic bring the party

Nile Rodgers’ hit machine delivered the biggest party in Glastonbury, a celebratory anthem-packed mega set that had the multitude grooving up the hillside. It was everything Rod Stewart’s headline set wasn’t. Rod brought a cheesy cabaret to a field, Chic turned a field into a disco.

Wolf Alice bare their fangs

The British alt rock quartet have got everything going for them: a tight band of close friends with a huge sonic and stylistic scope and a charismatic, eye-catching, guitar-playing frontwoman in Ellie Rowsell. But there is feeling in the industry that they may have been too high-minded to capitalise on Rowsell’s obvious commercial appeal – she’s like a brainy Vogue model playing grunge. Glastonbury marks the start of a new album campaign and Wolf Alice delivered a fantastic set that suggests they are ready to go for the jugular.

A new wave of Irish rock

Irish flags have been almost as prevalent as Palestinian flags at Glastonbury this year, and Irish artists have been making quite a stir. CMAT was a standout, along with Inhaler, Orla Gartland and Gurriers. But noise-makers Sprints, fronted by the fierce and smart Karla Chubb, are making a dash to the front of the rock queue. They delivered a rousing, distorted but melodic noise to an exultant crowd in the Woodsies marquee. And we’re not even going to mention the other Northern Irish trio who caused a stir that has reverberated through the headlines all weekend...

The crowd

There is so much fantastic music going on at Glastonbury, a wide array of genres across a vast physical terrain, that it would be impossible for anyone to definitely state what the greatest sets of the day were. But I can unequivocally say that the very best thing about the festival this year, as every year, is the punters. It’s a place where Britain’s music-loving community goes to hang out together, across the generations, and it’s filled with friendliness, positivity and care. It might be hard to appreciate that watching it on TV. But Glastonbury brings out the best in people.

A debut triumph

Well that was a corker. Fireworks, heady guitar riffs and frantic drums – courtesy of Rodrigo’s all-female band – and catchy lyrics all combined to make this debut Pyramid performance a triumph. And she picked the perfect guest star in Robert Smith, an emblem of the “old” Glasto: when rock reigned supreme and pop stars like this one weren’t welcome. But tonight, this young US pop princess proved she more than deserved her chance at the top slot. Poppie Platt

The Rodrigo crowd concur, reports Lauren Shirreff.

Tuite, Shalini and Nicole, university friends who are all 33, had a whale of a time. “She was great – really fun, and a great end to the festival, which to be honest I hadn’t expected,” says Nicole. “She’s an excellent vocalist. I thought she’d skew younger but I actually [had] a good dance myself.” Shalini and Tuite agree. “I didn’t realise how many songs I’d know and enjoy,” Shalini says.

Gosia Hobson Trojanowska, 65, had never heard of Rodrigo before but she “thought she was fantastic”. She is more a fan of reggae, ska and “real rock” but loved Rodrigo as she is “a real star with proper energy”. All in all, it’s been “the best weekend of my life” – and Rodrigo was a fitting close.

Jorja Smith is the perfect nightcap

South London singer Jorja Smith closed Sunday night with a mellow set at Woodsies. The R&B and soul singer, who once sampled Henry Purcell, has a beautiful voice which will provide the perfect bedtime set for anyone about to hit the hay after a long weekend of revelry. Eleanor Halls

11:03 PM BST

And...breathe

The Prodigy end their set with blistering renditions of Breathe and Smack My B---- Up (no controversy there – weird), as the Glasto faithful raved their last.

“We are the noise-makers,” MC Maxim said. “We’re waking up the whole of England.” You can say that again. James Hall

Mind, they’ve got some competition from the Pyramid, where Rodrigo is instructing her crowd to scream as loud as humanly possible. Which they do. They’re also batting around those beach balls.

The Prodigy

11:01 PM BST

No fireworks, but lots of fire

It’s a theme: Charli XCX, the DJs at Arcadia and now Olivia Rodrigo have all lit up stages across Glastonbury with literal fire, but the usual fireworks are nowhere to be seen. A change in policy? Lauren Shirreff

Rodrigo is also hotting up her set with a costume change – and it’s another Anglophile choice: glittery Union Jack hotpants. Needless to say, the crowd is hysterically happy about it. Spice up your life, Olivia!

Update: perhaps Rodrigo heard us, because she ended her set with those elusive fireworks. That’s one way to finish with a bang.

Where hedonism and activism collide

James Hall offers a few reflections on an eventful 2025 festival...

This was one of the most controversial Glastonburys ever due to the Bob Vylan and Kneecap situations yesterday. But it has always been thus. This place is where hedonism and activism collide. The difference now, with smartphones and the BBC’s wall-to-wall coverage, is that everything is immediately seen by millions of people. Debates used to rage here, but they’d remain in the Vale of Avalon until punters took their thoughts to the outside world afterwards. These days, the issues erupt in the outside world while the party people are still here, sometimes largely oblivious. It’s a strange inversion.

Second thought. With well over 200,000 people here, has Glastonbury become simply too big? The movement of all these people is very well-managed, but had there been mud there’d inevitably have been snapped ankles galore. Is there an argument for cutting numbers by 40,000 or so, or spreading it over two weekends, like Coachella?

Last thought. What a place! There’s (still) nowhere in the world like it. Life-affirming and occasionally challenging at the same time. So very unique. So very uplifting. So very British. So very Glastonbury.

Rodrigo loves Colin the Caterpillar

Rodrigo has now broken into So American, penned as an inside joke for her English actor boyfriend Louis Partridge. He introduced her to the wonders of “pints at noon”, sticky toffee pudding and jacket potatoes, and is still turned off by the way she pronounces “Glaston-berrrrry,” she laughs. Poppie Platt

She’s probably won a few extra British fans by also proclaiming her love of “all the sweets at M&S, Colin the Caterpillar specifically”.

It’s a Cure-all

Back to Rodrigo and Smith...

They’re now doing Just like Heaven. Don’t mind me, I’m just a crying puddle on the floor of Worthy Farm. Poppie Platt

10:35 PM BST

Florence Welch is also a special guest

She’s popped up during the Maccabees’ set on the Park stage. After several false rumours and disappointments over the weekend, suddenly it’s a guest bonanza.

10:30 PM BST

And Olivia’s first guest is...Robert Smith!

IT’S TRUE. The Cure’s Robert Smith has indeed joined Rodrigo on stage for a duet of Friday I’m In Love. What a moment! Poppie Platt

Unfortunately, it may not have landed with all of Rodrigo’s fans... Lauren Shirreff says: Oh my gosh, that was so awkward. To the left of the stage where I’m standing, Rodrigo’s excited announcement was met with a resounding “What?”. Poor Robert!

Olivia Rodrigo

10:23 PM BST

Taylor Swift, who?

When Rodrigo broke through in 2021, the Taylor Swift comparisons came thick and fast. The former is a lifelong fan; the latter quickly took Rodrigo under her wing. But then came an ugly, messy and very, very public falling out over sampling rights, and since then the two have kept their distance.

But there’s a joke among Swifties that of all of Swift’s “Taydaughters” (or mentees) – Sabrina Carpenter, Gracie Abrams – Rodrigo is the true heir to pop’s reigning megastar. Stood up on the Pyramid (a stage Swift is still, of course, yet to rock) with her acoustic guitar, performing angsty tales of teenage infatuation and adult love affairs, there’s little denying it. Rodrigo is ready to ascend to the throne. Poppie Platt

Rodrigo is tearing it up

No lulls in this action-packed set, although there is some light and shade. We’re currently in a gentler number – less hyperactive fury, more guitar-strumming – but Rodrigo will doubtless be leaping around again like a corseted Durabell bunny before long.

All hail the firestarters

For those not interested in Olivia Rodrigo (and there are many, judging by the size of this crowd), Glastonbury regulars The Prodigy headline the Other stage.

On their fourth Glasto appearance, the punk pioneers grabbed the evening by the scruff of the neck from the get-go with a brutal Voodoo People, and the rammed crowd of tens of thousands – including Simon Pegg, Dominic Cooper and Billie Piper – went bananas.

I saw this band headline here in 1997. Well, I say I “saw” them. I saw their flames reach the sky as I was in the next door field watching Massive Attack. Every two minutes where was a “WHHHHHSSSSHHHHHHHhhhhh!” as the Essex boys launched another vertical pyrotechnic assault into the Somerset gloaming.

They’ve still got it. Liam Howlett and Maxim have tremendous presence (vocalist Keith Flint died in 2019). Maxim said, “This f---ing night is dedicated to Mr f---ing Flint.” Feels like this is going to be special. James Hall

10:08 PM BST

Age is just a number

Rodrigo may only be 22 years old, but she’s taken to this most intimidating of stages with all the confidence of a Glastonbury veteran. “Holy f---ing s---, I’ve never seen this many people,” she tearfully told the crowd. “This is a dream come true. I can’t believe this is my life right now.”

Then came Drivers License, the 2021 viral hit that launched her career into the stratosphere, turning her from Disney star to the future of pop. And don’t be fooled: her fans may predominately be teenage girls, but there were plenty of dads and boyfriends screeching along tonight too. Poppie Platt

Indeed, this is the most vocally engaged crowd we’ve had by far this weekend. They’re singing – practically shouting – along with Rodrigo, such is their absolutely devoted fervour.

Kudos also to Rodrigo for a risky entrance, walking a tight rope across the Pyramid stage. Nerves of steel, this one...

It’s teen angst o’clock

Olivia Rodrigo has kicked off her debut headline set with Obsessed, a deliciously catty anthem about being jealous of your ex’s new partner. Dressed in a fitted white corset, electric guitar in hand, this star has certainly come a long way from the Disney Channel... Poppie Platt

Hyped up for Olivia

Olivia Rodrigo has drawn a sizeable but not-too-packed crowd tonight. There are legions of excited teenage girls with content-looking parents, but it really does sound like she is pulling together partiers from all corners of the farm.

Alex Polkin, 38, has never listened to Olivia Rodrigo before but heard that she has “been really good at other festivals”. Bonus points: “it’s great to have a woman headlining, and for it to be a really strong act,” she adds. Let’s not forget that the Pulp-loving American rock darling is only 22. Pretty inspiring if you ask me.

Jake, 26, and his friend Nadia, 27, are looking forward to a set that should be calmer and more of a wind-down than the big talking points of yesterday. Nadia is a big Rodrigo fan – “I think she’s incredible” – but Jake is just along for the ride. Despite that, he does think he’ll know “half the songs at least”. That’s what you want in a Pyramid headliner, really.

Over by the Cider Bus, people really are getting in the mood. “I don’t think it’ll be too busy, which makes it perfect to smash some ket,” says one man in his late twenties that I think it’s best not to name. It’ll be his first Pyramid gig of the festival, which says a lot. Let’s just hope he’s far from the excited families towards the back of the hill! Lauren Shirreff

Meanwhile, an eagle-eyed Neil McCormick has spotted some possible props. He says: I suspect there’s going to be beach balls at Olivia Rodrigo.

Charli hits back

Charli XCX has taken to X to hit back at mixed reviews of her headline performance on the Other stage last night. I wrote one such review, giving the show three stars out of five (which is still 60 per cent and perfectly respectable).

“Really enjoying these boomer vibe comments on my Glastonbury performance. it’s super fascinating to me,” she wrote. “Like the idea that singing with deliberate autotune makes you a fraud or that not having a traditional band suddenly means you must not be a ‘real artist’ is like, the most boring take ever. yawn sorry just fell asleep xx.”

I did pick her up on her use of autotune and the fact that she was the only person on stage. But the reason was that I found it a bit “one-note”, as I wrote. A bit boring. That was all.

She went on: “But to be honest… i enjoy the discourse.  imo the best art is divisive and confrontational and often evolves into truly interesting culture rather than being like kind of ok, easily understood and sort of forgettable.”

Boomer vibes. She can’t have been writing about me anyway. I’m Gen X. James Hall

09:37 PM BST

Kate Nash attacks JK Rowling and Rod Stewart

Nash is currently performing, pleasantly enough, on the BBC Introducing stage. But her singing has been entirely overshadowed by a bizarre foul-mouthed tirade which she launched at Glastonbury last night.

Apparently speaking about author JK Rowling, Nash said to the audience: “The loudest feminist voice in the UK is currently transphobic and that is something that I take very f---ing personally, as a feminist and a feminist with trans friends in my life, trans people that I love and that are very important to me.”

Ahead of singing her track D---head, Nash continued: “F--- Rod Stewart. This one goes out to Keir Starmer, JK Rowling, Rod Stewart and Nigel f---ing Farage.”

She also complained about music bosses, claiming “they’re scared of me” and saying the industry “doesn’t know what to do with me.” She then attacked Loose Women presenter Denise Welch and her son Matty Healy of band The 1975 (who performed here on Friday night), saying: “There is a record executive sweating their t--- off with Matt Healey’s mum.”

What a quar-Tet

As I’m finishing up the weekend, I think Four Tet deserves a special shout-out. Aside from an epic headline set at Woodsies on Friday night, Putney’s own astounding electronic artist Kieran Hebden put on two more announced sets this weekend, and two more secret sets to boot, which have kept thousands dancing happily until the early hours. 

Having seen three of them, I’d say his experimental Thursday set at the Tree stage opposite Woodsies was his best (the psychedelic set design was gorgeous, too). I’ve met a few people who’ve attended all five and all have only good things to say. Lauren Shirreff

09:13 PM BST

Big who?

West London rapper AJ Tracey is commanding a packed-out Woodsies tent. Curiously, cooking influencer Big Zuu is behind the decks. So far fans are disappointed he hasn’t brought out Stormzy or Jorja Smith for his two biggest songs, settling with cheeky Mancunian rapper Airch, who played the Pyramid stage last year.

A picture-perfect finish

There’s a seriously beautiful sunset over Worthy Farm right now as Wolf Alice close out their gorgeous set with Don’t Delete The Kisses. Last night’s scheduling may have been disastrous but clearly the Eavises have a good track on the Sunday-night vibe, as it’s hitting perfectly at 9pm on this long weekend.

Over in West Holts, meanwhile, groovy Australian quintet Parcels are sending off a big crowd with some soft, rumbly indie tunes. Just a bit dance-y, and slightly entrancing, it’s just what we need to gear us up for the final headline acts of the night. Lauren Shirreff

Noah is the crowd favourite

One of the biggest Pyramid singalongs of the weekend is for Noah Kahan’s unstoppable folk anthem Stick Season, which spent seven weeks at number one in the UK last year. It’s obviously tugging on the crowd’s heartstrings: everyone around me is linking arms and embracing, pints of beer held aloft, firmly under the spell of Kahan’s gravelly vocals and his terrific backing band’s medley of acoustic guitars, banjos and fiddles.

Wolf Alice have just finished on the Other stage, and I’m going to firm up my opinion of earlier. If there is any justice in the musical world (and a few massive new tunes) then this band will headline Glastonbury by 2030. James Hall

It’s the final night and we’re not clowning around

This image is an accurate depiction of how anyone getting dressed up to go out tonight feels. After four days of little sleep, no showering and sustained partying, you feel a bit silly. 

Thirty-seven-year-old Pete here is about to move to Los Angeles, so his friends decided to dress him up like the most American thing they could think of: and that is, of course, Ronald McDonald. He plans to hit up Prodigy tonight before squeezing in “one last rave.” Power to you, Pete. LA Robinson

Noah Kahan’s next special guest is Brandi Carlile

The magnificent Americana singer, who gave one of the best sets of the weekend yesterday, comes on stage to duet with Kahan on chart-topper You’re Gonna Go Far. It’s a big, passionate rallying cry for ambition and hope, inspired by Kahan’s small town upbringing in Vermont.

Noah Kahan brings out...Laufey!

Icelandic singer Laufey has become an unlikely internet (and critically acclaimed) sensation, thanks to her wonderfully dreamlike fusion of classic and contemporary jazz and pop. Kahan welcomes her to the stage to sing his heartbreak ballad Call Your Mom; we might expect to see her appear with Olivia Rodrigo later, too, as they’re close personal friends. Poppie Platt

08:18 PM BST

Room for Wolf Alice?

Indie rock band Wolf Alice have been away for a few years working on their new album, called The Clearing, due in August. In the interim, the so-called Powerpuff Girls of pop – Chappell Roan, Sabrina Carpenter and Charli XCX – have reigned supreme in the industry. Has the shifting landscape edged out the sort of intelligent guitar-led music that Wolf Alice make?

Not on first impressions, no. A sizeable crowd has gathered at the Other stage for the band’s first major appearance in ages. Under still-beating sun at 8pm, Ellie Rowsell and co are on fine form. A cover of Fleetwood Mac’s Dreams and their multi-part baroque pop opera of a new single, Bloom Baby Bloom, sound rich and full.

Rowsell is channelling Debbie Harry in white T-shirt and shorts, guitarist Jeff Oddie on guitar has grown his hair out, while bassist Theo Ellis is as prowling a force as ever. Safe From Heartbreak, performed almost acapella, is astonishing. Drummer Joel Amey sure can sing.

Future headliners? Unquestionably. There’s definitely still room for Wolf Alice. James Hall

“Sure?” I say to Miss Sponge and Dirty Bertie, her wonky-wig-wearing assistant. I ask them what exactly is going on here; refusing to break their hammed-up characters, Bertie and Sponge tell me they’re part of the Glastonbury Bandstand and have served tea to Neil Young, Rod Stewart and even rapper Busta Rhymes this weekend.

Fine, colour me impressed. Do we think they took cream or sugar? LA Robinson

Noah Kahan whips out the sad boy anthems

When I first reviewed Noah Kahan for the Telegraph two years ago, he was a little-known singer-songwriter pitching himself to the world as the “Jewish Ed Sheeran” (a joking title he gave himself during live shows).

Fast-forward to 2025, and the Vermont singer has had number one singles, sold out multiple arena tours, and is even set to headline the 70,000-capacity BST Hyde Park next Friday. First up, Glastonbury: an honour he calls “so f---ing cool, man” before asking the crowd whether they’re ready to hear some sad songs.

I’m expecting massive singalongs to She Calls Me Back, Stick Season and Northern Attitude, all old-fashioned folk-pop songs that come alive in an open field. Coincidentally, Kahan’s career first went stratospheric when tonight’s headliner Olivia Rodrigo covered Stick Season in the Radio 1 Live Lounge. Surely he’ll make an appearance with her later...

St Vincent’s ‘insane’ art rock packs a punch

In 2023, Rolling Stone ranked art rocker Annie Erin Clark, better known as St Vincent, amongst some of the world’s greatest guitarists. Tonight she’s proving why.

In a mesmerising set at the yes, still very hot Woodsies tent (the guy beside me brought his own personal electric fan) Clark and her two supporting guitarists are letting rip. They’re acting as if they’re fighting to control their instruments, convulsing in a woozy and borderline-epileptic state. Clarke belts and screams and sticks her tongue out. “I look insane, I look insane, I look insane,” she sings on hit Big Time Nothing, and indeed she does, but it’s the right kind of crazy.

Clarke can’t be any bigger than 5’2”, but she’s packing a serious punch with this performance. Six Grammy wins can’t be wrong. LA Robinson

Vogue panel talks Palestine

The message of solidarity with Palestine is echoed at a fashion panel hosted by Vogue news editor Anna Cafolla this afternoon, where the stage is framed by two Palestinian flags. The speakers are talking sustainability and representation in fashion. “I am reluctantly the representation I wish I had growing up. Whether I like it or not, my clothes say a lot,” says British-Bengali designer Saeedah Haque, dressed in her abaya.

British fair fashion campaigner Venetia LaManna – who is known for not mincing her words – mentions the “genocide in Palestine” and calls for boycotts of brands like Reebok. She elaborates in an Instagram caption that the brand is “the main sponsor of the Israel Football Association (IFA), which includes teams in Israel’s illegal settlements on occupied Palestinian land.” LA Robinson

Everyone is dancing and grooving under the blazing sun – more than can be said for Rod Stewart’s earlier performance, which was so much of a snooze-fest I left after 20 minutes. Were their sets the wrong way round? Poppie Platt

“I was kinda hoping it was a sitting-down one,” says a tired thirtysomething woman as R&B artist Kae Tempest takes to the stage of the Park. Not the case: the singer’s mix of spoken word (with emotive lyrics) and hip-hop beats has got several hundred people on their feet. 

It’s the fourth time the highly acclaimed artist has appeared at Glastonbury, but the first since he came out as a transgender man earlier this year. He has drawn enough fans that a good number are singing along to his new single Diagnoses, which came out just a week ago and takes on the issue of mental illness (“It’s the world that’s sick, baby, we’re alright”).

One of the best sets of the weekend from Turnstile

Turnstile just absolutely tore up the Other stage. Met with a massive crowd brandishing smoking flares and their finest sign of the horns – the middle section entirely consumed by a furious mosh pit – the Baltimore hardcore band, led by Brendan Yates, put a middle finger up to any critics who say Glastonbury can’t do heavy rock.

Saying that, Turnstile’s thrashing guitars and scream-song choruses are blended with infectious electro beats that wouldn’t sound out of place in Shangri-La at 6am – think of them as Korn for ketamine enthusiasts.

Mostly playing tracks from their last two hit albums, Never Enough and Glow On (I Care, Holiday, Look Out for Me), this was one of the best sets of the weekend: sweaty, shouty, heavy fun. Apologies to anyone who stuck around at ol’ Rod instead. Poppie Platt

After a long delay, the Irish band’s Glastonbury set has finally appeared online – and it doesn’t appear to have been censored all that much. You can hear plenty of their expletive-laden comments around the 22-minute mark, in particular.

Meanwhile Helen Wilson, who is working at a bar at Glastonbury, and who live-streamed the performance yesterday on TikTok to two million viewers, has said in an interview with Metro: “I am a [Kneecap] fan, and so I’ve been aware of their plight.” She added: “When there’s censorship coming from large media institutions such as the BBC I think it’s up to people like me to step in.”

In a statement today, the BBC said: “We have made an on-demand version of Kneecap’s performance available on iPlayer, as part of our online collection of more than 90 other sets. We have edited it to ensure the content falls within the limits of artistic expression in line with our editorial guidelines and reflects the performance from Glastonbury’s West Holts stage.

“As with all content which includes strong language, this is signposted with appropriate warnings.”

Overheard backstage: a Cure for the lack of special guests?

Cure fans, assemble. I’ve overheard multiple people backstage saying Robert Smith has been spotted on-site: the same Robert Smith who has been conveniently touted as a potential special guest for Olivia Rodrigo’s headline slot tonight. Here’s hoping (and praying) for a joint version of Just Like Heaven. Poppie Platt

Gracie Abrams also covered Just Like Heaven the other night on the Other stage. Is Robert Smith having his Gen Z love-in moment? James Hall

The view from the top

Here’s what it looked like from the Red Arrows’ perspective when they flew over the farm during Pulp’s Common People yesterday.

Off Rod sails

Rod closes his main set with Sailing. Some people’s arms, but by no means everyone’s, are aloft. Not sure this set has been the nostalgia-tinged, joy-filled knees-up many hoped. It’s a touch too shiny for Glastonbury. You can tell he’s just done Vegas. Perhaps Nile Rodgers, up next, will bring the party. James Hall

At least some fans will go home with a souvenir football, booted from the stage during Da Ya Think I’m Sexy?.

Good clean fun from Stranger Things star Djo

If you don’t recognise him from his three-letter stage moniker Djo, perhaps you’ll recognise Joe Keery from his role as Steve Harrington in hit Netflix series Stranger Things. Counting over a billion streams after just a couple of years embracing this music thing, he seems to be one of those people that can annoyingly do it all.

Djo at Glastonbury - HIGG

Sparkling synths soundtrack his walkout onto the Woodsies stage, greeted by a screaming crowd. The band is tightly arranged and they all seem to have exceptionally good posture: call it squeaky-clean rock. Or maybe not: “I haven’t showered – I’m so sweaty and dirty,” Keery proclaims behind his shaggy bangs and dark sunglasses, telling us how he too has been experiencing “Glastonberry” (the pronunciation most Americans seem to adopt).

His low-slung bass lines, plucky electric guitars and pinball machine sound effects remind me of The Cars – there doesn’t seem to be one person above the age of 30 in here, but if the Gen Zs want their new-age version of a geeky 1980s heartthrob, here he is. LA Robinson

Calls to boycott Rod

South London singer Joy Crookes is delivering an absolutely delightful set at the Other stage ahead of her new album. But she takes a pop at Reform believer Rod Stewart. “Boycott Rod Stewart,” she urges, to the ire of a grumpy, sun-dazed couple next to me. “Oh, give it a rest love!” I don’t think there’s much crossover with his fanbase and hers though. Eleanor Halls

Poppie did spot one critical sign earlier amongst the otherwise extremely Rod-friendly Pyramid stage crowd.

05:14 PM BST

Here’s Ronnie and Lulu

Rod’s next guests come on – Ronnie Wood and Lulu – and the band break into the scuzzy bar-room boogie of Stay With Me.

Rod has entered Beyoncé territory with all his costume changes. He’s now in a fetching green suit. Looks a bit like a pool table. James Hall

I would have said Kermit at the prom, but I definitely take James’s point. Also Lulu’s car-wash trousers are mesmerising.

James also thinks that the arrival of the phenomenal Wood has suddenly injected MASSIVE life into a dwindling set. From my sofa, I’m quite enjoying the meandering Sunday afternoon chill-out vibes, but do agree the performance energy has just shot up.

It’s simply Mick

Shades of David Brent as Simply Red’s Mick Hucknall comes on with Rod to sing If You Don’t Know Me By Now, the cheese-tastic song immortalised by Ricky Gervais’s character from The Office. “Go and get the guitar.” James Hall

Who said Glasto can’t do hard rock?

Or hardcore, that is. Much-hyped Baltimore band Turnstile only took to the Other stage a few minutes ago, and already a massive mosh pit has broken out amidst the sea of bearded millennial men who treat curly-haired frontman Brendan Yates like their personal messiah. First up: the title track from this year’s hugely popular album Never Enough. Poppie Platt

04:57 PM BST

Michael and Emily Eavis appear

The father-daughter team of Michael and Emily Eavis come onto the Pyramid stage to huge cheers, with Emily pushing her 89-year-old dad in a wheelchair. Michael gives a big wave and flashes his winning smile. Rod – who’s now in a flamingo-pink suit – dedicates I Don’t Want to Talk About It to them. James Hall

Rod Stewart confirms his special guests - Mick Hucknall, Ronnie Wood and... Lulu

Ronnie Wood, Mick Hucknall and Lulu will be Rod’s guests later in the set, he’s just said. Hucknall stood in for Stewart during a Faces reunion about a decade ago, so it’ll be interesting to see how that works. No mention of Robbie Williams, though. Maybe he’s a surprise. Or simply not coming after all.

Rod’s really going for it. His frilly white shirt is now almost open to the waist and it looks like half of the Pitt Rivers Museum is hanging on chains around his neck.

Rod’s heavy on the cheese

Have to say, Rod hasn’t quite won over the crowd yet. We’ve had lots of cheesy hits like Some Guys Have All The Luck and the icky Tonight’s the Night (sample lyric: “Don’t say a word, my virgin child/ Just let your inhibitions run wild”). People want some Da Ya Think I’m Sexy? and Young Turks. Plenty of time left. James Hall

Rod gets political… a bit

Three songs in, and Rod gets political. “There’s been a lot about the Middle East recently. Quite rightly so. I’d like draw your attention to Ukraine with this next song. It’s called the Love Train,” he says. And a jaunty number about joining hands and getting on the love train - complete with a storming saxophone solo - follows. Little bit of politics from the Rodster. But we’re hardly in Bob Vylan territory here. James Hall

Rod’s on

Rod Stewart has just bounded onto the Pyramid Stage, preceded by a bagpipe rendition of Scotland the Brave. Sporting a shiny black jacket like the head waiter on a blingy cruise ship, he certainly doesn’t look his 80 years. We’re only half a song in but the voice sounds OK. Bit shaky, but maybe that’s nerves. Hope it holds out. James Hall

Rod Stewart’s got three special guests

Ben Lawrence writes: as we prepare for Rod’s appearance at a packed looking Pyramid stage, we should quickly speculate about who is joining him on stage. Ronnie Wood has confirmed as much on a podcast. Robbie Williams has said he isn’t. How about Paul McCartney? He was spotted at Worthy Farm on Friday.

03:41 PM BST

At least some people are acting with dignity

Lovely pre-Rod moment on the Pyramid. The stage’s DJ was a friend of the DJ Johnnie Walker, who died last New Year’s Eve and was close to Michael Eavis. So he’s playing five of Walker’s favourite tracks to the thousands gathered here. First up was Born To Be Wild by Steppenwolf. Now it’s Lou Reed’s Walk on the Wild Side. Classy move. James Hall

Bob Vylan has left the building - or rather the farm

It seems that Big Bob has left the farm after yesterday’s controversial set. A selfie posted on his Instagram story puts him at an ice cream shop in London before 10am last night. That’s not necessarily anything out of the ordinary — while some artists hang about before or after their sets to enjoy themselves, others swoop in and out. Glastonbury’s press office is “not necessarily privy” to individual artists movements, says one officer in the press tent. Is there more to it? Lauren Shirreff

I said that The Libertines weren’t doing politics, but...

James Hall writes: Comedy moment at the end of the Libertines’ set. Drummer Gary Powell raised a Palestinian flag and approached the microphone. “Free, free Palestine,” he shouted. But the mic was dead. No one heard. The chat in the crowd had already moved on to all things Roderick.

New romance alert

Following the pictures of James Norton and Lily Allen supposedly on a date at Lido festival the other weekend, I’ve heard several reports that they were both having plenty of fun on the dance floor of NYC Downlow last night, and were seen leaving together at 5am. Also on the dance floor: Taika Waititi, Paul Mescal and Douglas Booth, all sweating profusely. Eleanor Halls

Rod Stewart will play shortly - but how will the crowd react?

Some of the younger generation have got a bit hot under the collar about Rod’s remarks about Nigel Farage, as the rocker told the UK to give him a chance. Given the political sympathies at Glastonbury this year will the 80-year-old veteran be greeted with enthusiasm? Ben Lawrence

Everyone’s mad for the Libertines. Get here soon, Rod fans

It’s absolutely packed at the Pyramid Stage for The Libertines, I suspect - to take nothing away from Pete Doherty’s merry troupe - because Rod Stewart is up next. Rod the Mod isn’t on for another 90 minutes but it feels as though the field might be full to capacity soon. Get here soon, Rod fans.

On-stage, Doherty and his bandmates Carl Barât, John Hassall and Gary Powell are standing in front of what looks like a mock-up of their Margate hotel, The Albion Rooms. That, or the house from Encanto. Anyway, there’s a pleasant alfresco busky feel to their raggedy melodies. They’ve just been joined by a female string wearing the band’s trademark military regalia.

“Hi-de-hi-de-hi! Are you all happy campers?” says Doherty, in a yellow neckerchief and waistcoat. It’s all rather nice, in a shambling bucolic way, which is what I expect they were aiming for. And… there’ve been no politics. Yet. James Hall

More anti-Israeli sentiment

Michael Eavis would be proud

Eleanor Halls writes: ‘Y’all have great land’ said US country star Shaboozy, admiring English agriculture mid-way through his excellent set on the Other stage. And then, unless my ears are deceiving me, he praised our foxes — clearly he hasn’t ever had to pick up egg shells from outside his front door following a midnight fox raid when the bins are out.

Sprints fans weigh in on Palestine

I’m in Woodsies waiting for Irish post-punk band Sprints, who are well known for their pro-Palestine activism. Frontwoman Karla Chubb recently told the Guardian their music is set against “this backdrop of the world feeling like it’s gonna end at any moment” - particularly relating to the conflict in Gaza - and they joined Kneecap in withdrawing from the SXSW festival last year over sponsors’ alleged funding links to the US and Israeli military.

Virtually everyone in the tent I speak to is supportive of what happened yesterday, a sign no doubt of Glastonbury’s demographic. Thirty five-year-old Londoner Liam says criticism levelled at bands like Sprints and Kneecap “is mental when you think all they’re asking is for kids not to be murdered”. The only dissenting voice comes from Miles, 28, also from London, who says he supports the Palestinian cause but “can’t get behind what Bob Vylan said yesterday. Death chants are too far”.  Poppie Platt

Andy Burnham speaks out on benefit cuts

Andy Burnham is at Left Field, speaking on a panel about disability cuts. Unsurprisingly he is dead against the government’s welfare bill, even in its post u-turn form.

“What’s been announced is half a u-turn, a 50 percent u-turn. In my view I’d still hope MPs vote against the whole bill when it comes before parliament,” he urged, adding that it “simply can’t be justified to make disabled people your target”.

“Certainly not when you haven’t put out an impact assessment,” he added. “It felt wrong to me from the start.” Instead he proposed that the government save money in the long term by building more social housing.

Autism campaigner Jessa Faithfull has also been speaking against the cuts. “When you walk into the DWP there’s an assumption of fraud. You have to prove your worth,” she says, pointing out that autistic people are the third largest group of PIP claimants in Britain. “A year ago I was campaigning about how bad PIP assessments were… a year on we’re fighting tooth and nail to hold onto it.”

Ahead of Wednesday’s vote, MPs “need wait see what happens,” Burnham added. MPs “face the prospect of, if they accept this package, someone could come to their surgery in two years saying, why did you vote to make me £6000 worse off than someone exactly the same, but who was protected because they were an existing claimant,” he points out.

“I hope they think carefully before the vote. Because the vote will create that unfairness and divide in disabled people… many will face trouble down the line.”

“They shouldn’t be in this position a year into a labour government, they’ve got to create a more unifying path.” On the prospect of the next general election, he added: “the next election won’t be labour vs Tory vs Green vs Reform. it’ll be more, one world view over here, or vote for what we’ve always know. if you’re going to run a divisive approach on the left, how can you fight that general election that’s coming?”

When asked to stand as an MP and take steps to become Labour leader by a person in the crowd, Burnham said: “this reminds me why I left Westminster, because in all my time the policy of both main parties was to have a tough approach to benefits,” he says. “The system is completely distrustful of people and is trying to trip people up instead of helping them out.”

Celeste’s raw artistry lights up the stage

When Brighton-raised soul singer Celeste emerges on the pyramid stage, she greets a lounging, hungover crowd. She’s got black kohl smeared haphazardly all around her eyes; perhaps hiding her own Glastonbury-inflicted sins? The look is very black swan, and her sound has notably taken on a darkness — crashing electric rips and crisp-punch drums. It’s a development of the rich, stretching melancholy tones that shot her to prominence in 2020, when John Lewis designed their Christmas advert around her song “A Little Love”.

Her voice has always been her superpower: round, full, elegantly husky at the edges and today it’s at full force. Anyone previously horizontal has now been roused to stand and sway, albeit lazily. I catch a couple slow dancing to her debut album hit Both Sides of the Moon.

“My first album came out nearly five years ago didn’t expect it to take so long. But I think everything happens when it’s supposed to,” she addresses the crowd. She’s got the vocal prowess to rival Adele, but is notably less commercial. Based on this set — she’s done the hits, she’s devastated us with songs of lost love, she’s moved herself to near tears — Celeste is going for raw artistry over neat-packaged marketability. It’s got me chomping at the bit for the release of her next record, Woman of Faces, this October. One to watch. LA Robinson

Panic over - it looks like Rod will play after all

I’ve just bumped into two Rod Stewart mega-fans, Rob and Coman, who are dressed up as their hero. They say Rod is definitely playing tonight. How do they know? Because Penny Lancaster, Rod’s wife, just saw them and asked for a selfie. She said Rod is on great form and in fine voice. James Hall

Jodie Comer never realised she was famous

Fans have piled into the Pilton Palais cinema to see Jodie Comer speak at a Q&A this morning, on her new film The End We Start From, another film in which the actress plays a desperate mother in an apocalyptic British hellscape. The actress came in dressed-down chic with a baggy t-shirt and messy bun.

“I thought the tent was going to be empty,” she joked. Her last Glastonbury was 2019 so she “experienced it in a bit of a different way this time”. As for 28 Years Later, she was happy that the film “put Newcastle on the map” and showcased the Geordie accent. Prima Facie meanwhile “definitely was a little bit” of a trial by fire, Comer admitted.

01:27 PM BST

Was yesterday the most controversial day in Glastonbury’s history?

Well, the Glastonbury press office certainly has their work cut out for them this weekend, with punk duo Bob Vylan leading ‘death to the IDF’ chants at three in the afternoon to an audience members wrapped in Irish and Palestinian flags, followed by ‘free Palestine’ chants from Irish republican rappers Kneecap on the same stage. 

Glastonbury organisers have denounced the Bob Vylan chants as ‘appalling’, while UK police are apparently reviewing the footage to determine whether a criminal investigation is warranted. You can read our real-time updates on both gigs from yesterday here, and read Neil McCormick’s Kneecap review here. The sense of febrile political rebellion has felt so all-consuming on site that my colleague Ed Cumming, sitting in the press tent this morning, said it now felt ‘counter cultural to…not be pro IRA’.

So will Rod Stewart add oil to the flames this afternoon during his Legend slot on the Pyramid stage? Probably – last week he denounced Israel’s ‘annihilation’ of Palestinians and ‘cut ties’ with Trump as a result of his support for Israel, and he even got a shoutout during Kneecap: “Anybody going to Rod Stewart tomorrow? The man is older than Israel!” At this point a politically neutral set from Rod would be newsworthy in itself.

Is Robbie replacing Rod?

Glastonbury is essentially one big rumour-mill. The rumour I’ve just heard is that Rod Stewart has had to pull out of this afternoon’s “Legends” slot due to ill health and will be replaced by Robbie Williams, who we all assumed was coming on as a special guest during Rod’s set after a cryptic Instagram post the other day. I’ve asked people in the know and it seems as though this is just that - a silly Glastonbury rumour. We love Rod and want him to play though Robbie would, of course, put on a hell of a show. Rod not playing would also rob this fantastic picture pun of its meaning (The Prodigy are also playing tonight).

What time is Rod Stewart performing?

For many, it’s Rod the Mod’s performance this afternoon that is going to be the big draw, particularly now that he has stated that the country should give Nigel Farage a chance. He will be taking to the stage in what he has categorically said is NOT the teatime slot at 3.45 and we will be liveblogging. Will Robbie Williams turn up after all? It will be shown live on iPlayer but if you miss it, BBC One are broadcasting it at 7.15pm tonight.

Welcome to Glastonbury Sunday live blog

It’s the last day of Glastonbury, and follows what was the most controversial day in the festival’s history as comments by Kneecap and Bob Vylan ended up being investigated by the police, and the latter ended up being condemned by the festival’s organisers. With temperatures continuing to rise, will anything as incendiary occur on the closing day?

Once again, we have our six journalists (Neil McCormick, Eleanor Halls, Poppie Platt, James Hall, LA Robinson and Lauren Shirreff) sending back reports, reviews, photos, videos and anything else they can rustle up. They seem to have survived the heat, mayhem and very high step-counts of Friday. Manning the blog from the office is Ben Lawrence and later Marianka Swain.
