On Sunday, June 29, 2025, Olivia Rodrigo performed the closing headline set on Glastonbury Festival’s Pyramid Stage, delivering a setlist that included several of her major hits and a surprise collaboration.

Rodrigo opened her set with Vampire and went on to perform songs such as Driver’s License, Brutal, and Good 4 U. The performance featured visual effects and pyrotechnics, with staging that aligned with the theatrical tone of her music.

A notable moment came when Robert Smith, lead singer of The Cure, joined her on stage. Together, they performed Just Like Heaven and Friday I’m in Love. The collaboration marked one of the festival’s few cross-generational duets and was met with widespread attention both at the venue and online.

Earlier in the day, Rodrigo was seen in the audience at another stage, appearing alongside her partner, actor Louis Partridge, which also received media coverage.

Other performances on the final day of the festival included Rod Stewart in the traditional Legends Slot. His set featured guest appearances by Ronnie Wood, Lulu, and Mick Hucknall, and included hits such as Maggie May and Stay With Me. Nile Rodgers & Chic followed with a disco-focused set to conclude the night’s main programming.

The 2025 edition of Glastonbury marked the last festival before its planned fallow year in 2026. 

Rodrigo’s appearance marked her debut as a Glastonbury headliner. Her set was part of a lineup that featured a mix of established artists and emerging acts across multiple stages throughout the weekend.
