The 1975’s Epic Glastonbury 2025 Headlining Setlist and Highlights

Experience the unforgettable Glastonbury 2025 headlining set by The 1975, packed with fan favorites, surprises, and hints at new music.

The 1975 Headline Glastonbury 2025: A Night to Remember

The 1975 took to the legendary Pyramid Stage at Worthy Farm on Friday, June 27, 2025, marking their first-ever headlining appearance at Glastonbury. This was their only live show of the year, making it an exceptionally special event for fans worldwide.

Matty Healy, the charismatic frontman, strolled onstage casually holding a pint of Guinness and a cigarette, accompanied by a backing band member playing the trumpet. Kicking off with “Happiness,” Healy quickly engaged the crowd before sliding seamlessly into “If You’re Too Shy.”

Memorable Moments and Setlist Surprises

One of the show’s standout moments came during “She’s American,” where The 1975 cleverly paid homage to The Backstreet Boys by slipping in a mashup of “I Want It That Way.” The unexpected blend had fans buzzing and added a playful flair to the set.

Matty Healy’s humor shone through as he jokingly declared himself “the best songwriter of my generation — a poet,” before launching into “Chocolate.” The band even displayed hilariously nonsensical lyrics on the screen during the song, showing their lighter side.

Healy later took a moment to inform the crowd, “I was only joking about being a poet,” easing into a heartfelt rendition of “Somebody Else” while seated inside a staged car’s backseat.

A Message of Love Over Politics

Midway through their set, Healy addressed the audience with a meaningful message: “Use your platform. The people watching might be upset about the lack of politics at this or future shows. We don’t want our legacy to be of politics, but of love and friendship.” Highlighting that there’s already enough politics everywhere, he called for more love, which set a warm tone for the rest of the performance.

The band went on to perform emotionally charged tracks like “I Always Wanna Die (Sometimes)” and the politically infused “Love It If We Made It,” before diving into fan favorites like “Sex,” “Give Yourself A Try,” “The Sound,” and closing with “About You,” during which Healy was visibly moved to tears.

What’s “Dogs”? A Mysterious Glimpse to Future Projects

As the set ended, one cryptic word flashed in bold red letters across the stage: “Dogs.” Fans instantly began speculating about what this could mean — possibly teasing new material or an upcoming album.
