With little over a month left until gates open, who’s currently rumoured to perform at Glastonbury in May 2025?

The excitement is building as the countdown to Glastonbury Festival 2025 reaches double digits, with the festival gates opening sooner than you’d think.

For those fortunate enough to have secured resale tickets, congratulations on finally making it. And to those who rolled the dice one last time without success, our sympathies. Hopefully, there's better luck in 2027, as Glastonbury is set to take a fallow year in 2026.

While festival organizers have been steadily announcing confirmed acts on social media throughout April (and the line-up is extensive), speculation persists about potential surprise appearances.

So, with May 2025 now officially underway and many more acts confirmed, who are the remaining 'wildcards' rumoured to be performing at this year's festival?

We've once again consulted eFestivals, who have identified 11 names that could potentially perform, a notable feat given the already substantial number of confirmed acts.

Some names continue to circulate, while others are new additions. Who are these artists that fans suspect might make an appearance at Glastonbury 2025? Read on to find out!
