Glastonbury 2025 was one for the books – and Team NME was on the ground taking in all the incredible scenes we possibly could, from JADE to Lorde, from Neil Young to Pulp-Patchwork.

We had two photographers with us, too, capturing picture-perfect moments that may help you feel better about having to wait over 700 days for the next Glasto. Feast your eyes on these glorious shots by Andy Ford and Derek Bremner…

What was that? The answer is Lorde’s ‘Virgin’ release party

The first full day of music at Glasto started beautifully – with a secret set by Lorde at Woodsies, celebrating the release of her incredible new album ‘Virgin’

Some punters may have been winding down on Sunday – but not Turnstile fans, who got crowdsurfing in no time at all

Besides running around seeing live music, Team NME took some time to chat with bands on the line-up and take their picture. The Libertines got all lovey-dovey for us…

The Glastonbury line-up is overwhelming, partly because it’s always teeming with incredible new talent. Case in point: former NME Cover star Heartworms, who transfixed Strummerville on Thursday

Worthy Farm will take a year off in 2026 – but the speculation’s already begun for 2027. Who do you think will headline?
