Glastonbury 2025: ‘Taskmaster’, Henning Wehn and Robin Ince lead Theatre & Circus line-up

Glastonbury has announced the 2025 line-up for its Theatre & Circus area – you can see it below.

This year’s edition of the legendary festival takes place between June 25 and 29 at Worthy Farm in Somerset, ahead of a fallow year in 2026. Tickets initially sold out last November, before two final resales last month.

In early March, the first line-up poster confirmed that The 1975 and Olivia Rodrigo would be joining Neil Young in headlining the Pyramid Stage this summer. Rod Stewart will take on the prestigious Legend Slot on Sunday, as revealed in late 2024.

Other notable artists across the weekend will include Biffy Clyro, The Maccabees, Lucy Dacus, Father John Misty, RAYE, Wolf Alice, The Prodigy, Doechii, St. Vincent, Deftones, The Libertines, Wet Leg, Weezer, AJ Tracey, Nile Rodgers & Chic, Future Islands, JADE, TV On The Radio, Self Esteem, CMAT, Blossoms and Turnstile.

Glasto has recently been drip-feeding separate line-up posters for its plethora of stages, areas and venues in the run-up to June. So far, we’ve had the Acoustic Stage, Field Of Avalon, West Holts, Silver Hayes, Croissant Neuf, Shangri-La, Woodsies, Glade, Left Field, Kidzfield and Glasto Latino.

Today (May 7), organisers have unveiled the 2025 bill for Glastonbury’s Theatre & Circus area – which comprises “three glorious fields” boasting “circus, comedy, theatre, cabaret, dance, poetry, street shows and walkabout acts”.

This line-up features a live Taskmaster show, a set from German stand-up and panel show star Henning Wehn, comedian and actor Robin Ince, poet and writer Brian Bilston, comedian and presenter Zoe Lyons, and Elvana – “the world’s finest Elvis fronted Nirvana tribute”.

“Theatre & Circus are hugely excited to be able to reveal a taster of some of the outstanding acts that will be gracing our stages this year,” said Haggis McLeod, area organiser.

“Some of the old favourites have been deservedly welcomed back, as well as a host of original and exciting performance artists from around the world who are making their Glastonbury debut.

“Be sure to come over and visit us on the east of site and soak up the atmosphere, enjoy the spectacle and participate in the myriad of mayhem, mirth and magic, that is Theatre & Circus. You won’t be disappointed.”

Meanwhile, Westside Cowboy – the winners of Glastonbury’s Emerging Talent Competition 2025 – have spoken to NME about how it feels to have secured a slot at Worthy Farm in June.

“It feels amazing but it’s really hard to process,” vocalist Aoife Anson O’Connell told NME. “We’re so lucky, we’ve had the most insane luck for a year and it’s just happened again. We’re the most jammy people in the world, maybe I should start gambling!”
