Whether it was because of incredible performances or headline-grabbing political statements, this year’s Glastonbury festival dominated the conversation this weekend even more than usual.

But with so much going on at Worthy Farm in 2025, there are some moments that might have passed you by completely.

With that in mind, here are 17 stand-out moments from this year’s Glastonbury that you might have missed this weekend…

Lorde opened the show in the Woodies tent with a surprise set that saw her performing her new album – released earlier that morning – in full for the first time

Lewis Capaldi was also one of the day one surprises – returning to Glastonbury two years on from his last difficult appearance (‘I’m not going to say much up here as I’ll start crying,’ he admitted early on in the set

And while we’re on the subject of surprises – the mystery band ‘Patchwork’ turned out to be neither Haim, nor Chappell Roan, but Pulp (Haim did pop up in another surprise slot elsewhere over the weekend, though)
