Here's every single artist who has headlined Glastonbury since 1970
Glastonbury Festival is legendary, pulling in some of the biggest names in music throughout its 53-year legacy, from David Bowie to Sir Elton John. Speculation over who will take to the Pyramid Stage is always huge, with The 1975, Neil Young and Olivia Rodrigo taking the crowns for 2025's lineup. Looking back at the incredible headliners, it's no surprise that even legends have to wait their turn (unless you're Coldplay, who, as of 2024, have played five times and hold the record for most times as headliner). Come rain or shine, Glastonbury is usually held in late June but not every year as the ground needs to recover with the occasional fallow year — just like next year. Ever since the Somerset music festival opened its doors in 1970, it's pulled in some massive names, especially for a gig that only cost £1 to get into originally. With anticipation for 2025 at an all-time high, we look fondly back at the headliners who've come before… 1970 – T. Rex Tyrannosaurus Rex (soon to be took the first-ever top spot for the launch of Glastonbury Festival after The Kinks pulled out. 1971 – David Bowie Ziggy Stardust became a headliner after Pink Floyd cancelled and, despite his icon status, he would only headline one more time. 1972 to 1977 – No Glasto! 1978 – No headliner This one is known as the 'impromptu' festival with no headliners as such. 1979 – Tim Blake and Peter Gabriel 1981 – Ginger Baker, Hawkwind, and Taj Mahal 1982 – Van Morrison, Jackson Browne 1983 – Curtis Mayfield, UB40 1984 – Weather Report, Black Uhuru and The Smiths 1985 – Echo & The Bunnymen, Joe Cocker and The Boomtown Rats The Style Council and The Pogues also performed but didn't get the top billing. 1986 – The Psychedelic Furs, Level 42, and The Cure Festival goers could also see Madness and Simply Red, with tickets costing less than £20. 1987 – The Communards, Elvis Costello and Van Morrison 1989 – Suzanne Vega, Elvis Costello and Van Morrison This year saw some firsts with the first consecutive headliners, as the festival skipped 1988, plus Suzanne Vega as the first-ever female headliner 12 Glastos in! 1990 – The Cure, Happy Mondays and Sinead O'Connor 1992 – Carter USM, Youssou N'Dour and Shakespeare's Sister 1993 – The Black Crowes, Christy Moore and Lenny Kravitz Red Hot Chilli Peppers were set in the headline slot but decided to drop out of the then £58 festival. 1994 – Levellers, Peter Gabriel and Elvis Costello Lower on the listing were some truly incredible talents and future headliners with Johnny Cash, Rage Against the Machine, Radiohead, Blur, Oasis, and Bjork all performing at the festival. 1995 – Pulp, Oasis, and The Cure 1997 – Ash, The Prodigy, and Radiohead 1998 – Primal Scream, Pulp and Blur 1999 – Skunk Anansie, REM, and Manic Street Preachers This year saw two Glastonbury debuts from future Pyramid Stage headliners Muse and Coldplay. 2000 – Travis, The Chemical Brothers and David Bowie Fans this year were treated to an extra special show as this is the last time the Heroes legend would take to the Pyramid Stage. 2002 – Rod Stewart, Stereophonics and Coldplay 2003 – Moby, REM, and Radiohead 2004 – Muse, Oasis, and Sir Paul McCartney Bellamy, Muse's guitarist, gave the band's headlining performance some extra spark when he smashed his guitar on stage. 2005 – Basement Jaxx, The White Stripes, and Coldplay Jack White has returned to Worthy Farm since but the White Stripes split shortly after this. 2005 was also the year the legendary Kylie Minogue was set to headline but cancelled last minute. 2006 – Arctic Monkeys, The Killers and The Who All first-time headliners this year in an impressive lineup but elsewhere icon Adele was chasing pavements — 10 years before taking the headline spot. 2008 – Kings of Leon, The Verve and Jay Z Every year without fail, Kings of Leon are mentioned as possible headliners; this is the one time it proved to be true. On Sunday, Jay Z made history as the first hip hop headliner, much to Noel Gallagher's chagrin. 2009 – Neil Young, Bruce Springsteen and Blur 2010 – Muse, Stevie Wonder and Gorillaz 2011 – Coldplay, U2 and Beyonce While Coldplay returned to the festival for the umpteenth time, U2 managed to nab a headline after dropping out the year before (replaced by Gorillaz). Beyonce was the first solo female headliner since Sinead O'Connor and only the third solo female ever. 2013 – Mumford & Sons, Arctic Monkeys and The Rolling Stones 2014 – Arcade Fire, Kasabian and Metallica Dolly Parton was also here for this year's Legend slot and pulled in a massive crowd despite not headlining. 2015 – Kanye West, Florence & The Machine, and The Who Florence only took the top spot after the Foo Fighters dropped out and Ye proved a controversial choice (not for the reasons he would be now, though). 2016 – Muse, Coldplay and Adele 2017 – Radiohead, Foo Fighters and Ed Sheeran 2019 – Stormzy, The Killers and The Cure 2020 – Kendrick Lamar, Sir Paul McCartney and Taylor Swift Only it never happened because, as we all remember, the world was put on pause in the global pandemic. Sir Paul and Taylor have reunited, though, at her Eras Tour in London, while Kendrick featured on her track Bad Blood. This lineup would have been legendary. 2022 – Billie Eilish, Kendrick Lamar and Sir Paul McCartney In a slight switch-up of the promised 2020 headliners, Billie became the youngest-ever headliner while Sir Paul took the title of oldest-ever headliner. 2023 – Arctic Monkeys, Guns N' Roses, and Sir Elton John A double debut from two icons here – both Guns N' Roses and Sir Elton had never headlined before. 2024 – Dua Lipa, Coldplay, and Sza Yes, Coldplay again. It's no secret that this line-up caused a little controversy with fans complaining. However, it is also one for the history books as it marked the first time two headline slots have been taken up by female performers – it only took 54 years! More Trending 2025 – The 1975, Neil Young and Olivia Rodrigo Another American pop princess, Olivia Rodrigo, is set to headline and close the show on Sunday — a risky choice after Sza failed to impress but fans have faith in her ability to turn out a show. The 1975 are also a controversial one, as frontman Matty Healy has a tendency to be an absolute menace. Neil Young is probably also controversial to someone, so pinch of salt with the complaints. Other big names this year are Charli XCX being Brat and the return of The Prodigy, as well as Patchwork rumours and our legend, Sir Rod Stewart. Got a story?

Goth Icon Shares New ‘Dramatic' Version of Hit Song
Goth Icon Shares New 'Dramatic' Version of Hit Song originally appeared on Parade. Few are more synonymous with goth—be it music, fashion, or lifestyle—than Robert Smith of The Cure. Since forming in the '70s, The Cure has pioneered the dark, brooding, romantic rock sound that defined goth music. The band released now-classic albums like Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me and Disintegration, while becoming part of the 1980s and '90s music tapestry with songs like "A Forest," "Just Like Heaven," "Close To Me," "Boys Don't Cry," and "Friday I'm In Love." In 2024, The Cure pulled off the impossible: release a new album that's as good as one of its classics. Songs of a Lost World received widespread critical acclaim and was on many publications' "Best of 2024" year-end lists. Now, fans can revisit the album with the upcoming remix album, "Mixes of a Lost World." The collection, arriving on June 13, features remixed versions of Songs of a Lost World courtesy of electronic artists such asFour Tet, Orbital, Trentemøller, Paul Oakenfold, and more. Deftones frontman Chino Moreno (who dabbles in goth/dark electronica with this Crosses project) will also have a remix on the album. Electronic duo Daybreakers have transformed "Warsong" from a 4:17 track to a six-minute synth and bass extravaganza. This new version "has a real sense of drama," Smith told Billboard. "The breakdowns are simple, but far-out, and the vibe is cool, but urgent. It is one of my favorites on the [remix] album." Smith also told Billboard that The Cure has "a colorful history with all kinds of dance music, and I was curious as to how the whole album would sound entirely reinterpreted by others." "To be chosen to do a remix is a great honor," Daybreakers told the publication. "Being included on the remix album alongside such a great variety of talented artists and producers is a huge privilege." "Additionally," they add, "with all of The Cure's recording royalties being donated to the WarChild UK charity, it really is for a wonderful cause."Goth Icon Shares New 'Dramatic' Version of Hit Song first appeared on Parade on Jun 11, 2025 This story was originally reported by Parade on Jun 11, 2025, where it first appeared.

Mixtape sent a sherpa up a mountain to get the rights to use a song, and Grand Theft Auto has "nothing on our toilet paper tech"
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Mixtape is a coming of age story that's a literal mixtape of music, gameplay and art styles. It focuses on three friends spending their last night together, with a perfect mixtape of music to accompany their final adventure as friends. It's also, according to creative lead Johnny Galvatron, got GTA beating toilet paper tech and getting the rights to use one song involved sending someone up a mountain. Wishlist Mixtape on Steam now Mixtape is odd to explain initially but instantly makes sense when you see it in action. "The music is a mixtape and so is the gameplay," says Galvatron. "There's everything from skateboarding to pulling slushies; there's an amazing level where your toilet paper a house. I just have to say, our toilet paper tech is second to none. The way you can toilet paper that house? I'm extremely proud of that. Grand Theft Auto? Nothing on our toilet paper tech." Even without the soundtrack it's an interesting clash of genres with a distinctive art style. But it is all about the music. "On their last night together [three friends] listen to this perfectly curated mixtape, containing music from DEVO, Roxy Music, Lush, The Smashing Pumpkins, Iggy Pop, Siouxsie and the Banshees, Joy Division, The Cure and many more," he explains. "Through the gameplay, through the music, you relive their finest hours." Getting a soundtrack with such a high pedigree wasn't easy either. "One of the things I enjoyed the most was collating the soundtrack and then getting the wheels in motion for how to get that music," admits Galvatron. "I'm not saying it was The Cure, but we were trying to get a song and one of the people that owned the copyright was up a mountain and we had to send a sherpa to go and find this guy so we could get the rights." (Founding member of The Cure, Lol Tolhurst, we're looking at you.) Mixtape is looking like a cinematic, arty take on the familiar whimsy of growing up, with Galvatron name-checking films like Dazed and Confused, Ferris Bueller's Day Off and even Wayne's World. It's coming '2025' to PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X. If you're looking for more excellent games from today's Future Games Show, have a look at our official Steam page.

New Ottawa restaurant, gothic Italian speakeasy hidden behind a bookcase in the ByWard Market
A concealed door in the ByWard Market swings open onto candlelight and the low thrum of The Cure. Article content You're not in a club, nor are you near some of the noisier parts of the Market, which flood with bar spillover after hours. You've found Tredici, a gothic Italian speakeasy accessed by a faux bookcase on Clarence Street. Article content Article content Much like the intimate space, the menu is compact and committed to a noir aesthetic. The theme carries through each course, among them, bone marrow bruschetta for starters, squid ink fettuccine for main and tiramisu stamped in Roman numerals for dessert. Article content Article content Article content Tredici, which opened around six months ago, is the passion project of Barry Moore and Matthew Bishop, veterans of Ottawa's food and drink world. Article content Between them, the co-owners have cooked, bartended and managed across the ByWard Market for more than a decade, watching it hollow out after waves of closure, then flicker back to life. Now they run a place on their terms. Article content 'We didn't make it easy on ourselves, being a sort of hidden spot in the Market,' said Moore. 'We want it to feel classy and a little upscale but not inaccessible.' Article content Article content The space is moody with empty picture frames, dripping candles and black-on-black table settings. Article content A block away, heavy metal bar and restaurant The Koven goes full throttle with band-themed burgers and a blast beat playlist — great when you're in the mood. But Tredici keeps the volume lower, in both decibels and atmosphere. Article content Article content 'Our investor originally wanted twelve seats and a bartender,' said Bishop. 'We thought, sure, but let's bump it to thirteen and call it Tredici. Thirteen is a lucky number in Italy.' Article content There's a certain symmetry to the gamble. Bishop spent time in Northern Italy, and it shows in Tredici's food, particularly its stripped-down, ingredient-first approach. Article content Menu items spring from 'experimentation (and) what's in season,' he said. '(We have) connections with local farmers… I just got beautiful asparagus and young garlic from Rideau Pines (Farm) that I'm working on a dish with.'

You've found Tredici, a gothic Italian speakeasy accessed by a faux bookcase on Clarence Street. Much like the intimate space, the menu is compact and committed to a noir aesthetic. The theme carries through each course, among them, bone marrow bruschetta for starters, squid ink fettuccine for main and tiramisu stamped in Roman numerals for dessert. Cocktails like the black vodka Nerotini and the absinthe-rinse Corpse Reviver Thirteen lean theatrical in name, though regulars swear by their balanced construction and depth of flavour.

Alcohol-free options are made with similar care. The lemon-basil Numero Zero, for example, lands herbal and complex — easily the best mocktail I've had in three years sober. Tredici, which opened around six months ago, is the passion project of Barry Moore and Matthew Bishop, veterans of Ottawa's food and drink world. Between them, the co-owners have cooked, bartended and managed across the ByWard Market for more than a decade, watching it hollow out after waves of closure, then flicker back to life . Now they run a place on their terms. 'We didn't make it easy on ourselves, being a sort of hidden spot in the Market,' said Moore. 'We want it to feel classy and a little upscale but not inaccessible.' The space is moody with empty picture frames, dripping candles and black-on-black table settings. A block away, heavy metal bar and restaurant The Koven goes full throttle with band-themed burgers and a blast beat playlist — great when you're in the mood. But Tredici keeps the volume lower, in both decibels and atmosphere. 'Our investor originally wanted twelve seats and a bartender,' said Bishop. 'We thought, sure, but let's bump it to thirteen and call it Tredici. Thirteen is a lucky number in Italy.' There's a certain symmetry to the gamble. Bishop spent time in Northern Italy, and it shows in Tredici's food, particularly its stripped-down, ingredient-first approach. Menu items spring from 'experimentation (and) what's in season,' he said. '(We have) connections with local farmers… I just got beautiful asparagus and young garlic from Rideau Pines (Farm) that I'm working on a dish with.' His proudest creation is the chili beef ragù, he said, inspired by Chinese chili oil and dan dan noodles but adapted with fennel, garlic, cayenne and anchovies. 'It's unique, but still very Italian… A lot of love and passion went into that one.' The house focaccia is made daily using a recipe they have been reworking since opening last November. 'We make it every day from scratch,' said Bishop. '(We) use fresh yeast… and get the best quality ingredients we can to make the thing that starts off everyone's meal, but still can be memorable.' The version served during my visit was warm, herbed and soft-centred, paired with olive oil and balsamic for dipping. My dining companion commented on the texture and found the portion size generous. We were glad to accept an extra slice each from Bishop, our server that night, to sop up the remaining sauce of our shared cacio e pepe. 'We don't want it to feel like one of those places that drops bread on your table and disappears,' he said. 'This is supposed to feel homey.' The attentiveness carries through to the drinks. While Tredici's original beverage list offered wine and beer only, the frequency of requests for non-alcoholic options prompted them to expand. Most of the mocktails reflect the cocktail menu but also stand on their own. Ingredients like black pepper, balsamic and citrus keep the drinks from feeling ornamental or watered down. 'We always want something unexpected,' said Moore, who seems to have a knack for adding edge without overcomplicating. 'I never want it to feel like you're drinking overpriced juice.' The masterful Lemon Mockarita delivered to our table had a pleasant, if unexpected peppery kick that gave the illusion of tequila, at least in low light. The meal ended on a high note with tiramisu, a plated-to-order version featuring pistachio cream and ladyfinger cookies that held their structure. The restrained sweetness made it easier to finish without feeling overstuffed. 'We wanted texture,' Moore said. 'Something with a crunch, not just mush.' Bishop explained that the idea came from seeing Instagram videos using pistachio chocolate . 'We tried it, played with the sweetness, and landed on something that wasn't too sugary,' he said. 'I've never liked an overly sweet dessert to finish the night.' Similar improvisation led to the bar's newly-released espresso martini menu with seven variations, like the chocolate and rose gin Bleeding Heart and burnt cinnamon and tequila De Olla. 'We couldn't get Kahlúa anymore because of tariffs,' Moore explained. 'So we used something else, and it changed the flavour.' Nothing launches without them both signing off. 'We look at each other, and if we both say 'yes,' it's on the menu,' said Bishop. 'We do this because it's fun. Because we still like doing it.' Tredici is open seven days a week from 5 p.m. to 1 a.m. And while it's steps away from some of the Market's busiest clubs, you wouldn't know it inside. 'We get people who come here to get away from that,' Moore said. 'It's a bubble. You step outside, and it's like a slap back to reality.' There's talk of expanding upstairs — something low-key, maybe a sandwich counter — but for now, everything they have is poured into the dark, dialed-in space below. 'All our time is pretty much spent down here,' Bishop said. 'And we like it that way.' smisenheimer@ For more smart picks and offbeat stories from around the city, subscribe to Out of Office, our weekly newsletter on local arts, food and things to do.
