Glastonbury Festival 2025 is just around the corner, and promises to be a historic edition – get ready for an unforgettable experience! With an impressive line-up, innovative green measures and a magical atmosphere, this festival is much more than just music – it’s a celebration of culture, community and sustainability. From the Beatheim DJ Academy in Berlin, we offer you this complete guide so you don’t miss a single detail.
History of the Glastonbury Festival
The Glastonbury Festival was born in 1970 at Worthy Farm, Pilton, Somerset, England, inspired by the spirit of Woodstock. Since then, it has evolved into one of the world’s most important cultural events, attracting over 200,000 attendees each year. With a mix of music, art, theatre and social engagement, Glastonbury is a reflection of human diversity and creativity.
When is Glastonbury Festival 2025?
Glastonbury Festival 2025 will take place from Wednesday 25 to Sunday 29 June 2025. This edition is particularly significant as it precedes a scheduled year off in 2026, known as the ‘fallow year’, which allows for land reclamation and planning for future innovations.
Where is Glastonbury Festival?
The festival takes place at Worthy Farm, a dairy farm in Pilton, Somerset, South West England. This rural setting is transformed into an ephemeral city full of stages, themed areas and community spaces, creating a unique atmosphere that combines nature and culture.
