Irish acts to watch at Glastonbury 2025
The fields of Worthy Farm are calling once again as Glastonbury 2025 gets underway from 25 - 29 June, and there's no shortage of Irish talent making the pilgrimage to the world's most iconic music festival. From breakout stars to festival legends, here are the Irish acts flying the tricolour at this year's Glasto. CMAT - Pyramid Stage, Friday, 1:30pm Kicking off the Irish invasion in style is CMAT, who lands a prestigious early slot on the Pyramid Stage. The alt-pop powerhouse from Dublin has had a whirlwind year - viral hits, festival buzz, and sell-out shows - and now she's bringing her cowgirl chaos to the biggest stage of them all. Expect sequins, sass and singalongs. The Script - Pyramid Stage, Saturday, 3pm The Script return to Glastonbury with a feel-good Saturday afternoon set that's bound to be a crowd-pleaser. Their back catalogue is festival gold (Breakeven, The Man Who Can't Be Moved, Hall of Fame), and with frontman Danny O'Donoghue leading the charge, Irish fans are expected to turn out in force. Kneecap - West Holts Stage, Saturday, 4pm Love them or loathe them, there's no ignoring Kneecap. The Belfast hip-hop trio are making their Glastonbury debut with a fiercely anticipated West Holts set. Known for their bilingual bars, political bite, and unapologetic stage presence, this is guaranteed to be one of the most talked-about performances of the weekend. Inhaler - Other Stage, Friday, 2:15pm Dublin rockers Inhaler, fronted by Elijah Hewson (yes, Bono's son), are carving out their own path - and their Glastonbury return marks another big step. With a slick indie sound and two acclaimed albums behind them, they'll light up the Other Stage on Friday afternoon. Snow Patrol - Other Stage, Sunday, 6pm Festival veterans Snow Patrol bring the weekend full circle with a golden hour slot on Sunday evening. The Northern Irish band's biggest hits (Chasing Cars, Run, Open Your Eyes) are practically made for emotional sing-alongs under a pink Glasto sky. Sprints - Other Stage, Friday (TBC) If you like your live music raw and raucous, don't miss Sprints. The Dublin punk-rockers are building serious buzz with their gritty sound and fearless lyrics. Early signs suggest a Friday slot on the Other Stage - perfect for an explosive start to the weekend. Acoustic Stage Irish Highlights Away from the main madness, Irish music lovers will find plenty of homegrown soul on the Acoustic Stage. The Coronas return with their feel-good indie anthems while the Hothouse Flowers are set to bring decades of musical magic. Singer-songwriters Oisín Leech and Lorraine Nash will offer stripped-back, heartfelt sets - ideal for lazy summer afternoons on the grass.

The Script's Danny O'Donoghue says Sabrina Carpenter helped him reconnect with music after the death of Mark Sheehan
Danny O'Donoghue has said that listening to Sabrina Carpenter has helped him reconnect with music following the death of his close friend and The Script co-founder Mark Sheehan. Speaking to Stuart Clark in the current issue of Hot Press, O'Donoghue explained how his relationship with music changed in the aftermath of Sheehan's passing. 'Yeah, I've been reconnecting myself with music,' The Script frontman said. 'After Mark passed, it wasn't really touching me in the same way. I was like, 'This is f***ing weird. Every time I think of an act I want to listen to, I turn it off two songs in.'' He recalled how a friend suggested a new approach: 'A friend of mine suggested, 'Why don't you check out acts you've never listened to before? Go with my suggestion; Sabrina Carpenter.' I was like, 'Arrrgh, no, it's just a pop thing.'' However, O'Donoghue gave it a chance. 'I go for an hour-long walk every morning and night, so I stuck Short n' Sweet on and, bro, three songs in, I was a Sabrina Carpenter fan!' He added that his passion for music has returned. 'I'm back in love with music now the way I used to be,' he said. O'Donoghue also noted another recent musical discovery. 'I took Kendrick Lamar out for a walk as well and went, 'Jesus Christ, I don't know what this is – rap jazz or something – but it's so fucking cool!'' The Script is set to perform at Thomond Park, Limerick on 12 July, with special guests James Bay and Allie Sherlock.
