Speculation is mounting that Rihanna could be one of the Glastonbury 2025 headliners following reports of a six-night London Stadium residency in early July. According to The Telegraph, the ‘Umbrella’ singer is in advanced talks to play a string of London shows starting July 4, 2025—just five days after Glastonbury wraps up.
While nothing has been confirmed, the timing has fueled rumors that Rihanna may finally make her Worthy Farm debut. She was heavily rumored to headline in 2023 but pulled out due to pregnancy, with Guns N’ Roses stepping in as replacements.
The nine-time Grammy winner hasn’t toured since her 2016 ANTI World Tour, and while she has teased a new album, she has yet to release a follow-up to ANTI. Her last major performances include the 2023 Super Bowl Halftime Show and a private wedding gig in India in 2024.
So far, the only confirmed Glastonbury headliner for 2025 is Neil Young, with Rod Stewart taking the Sunday ‘Legends Slot’ and Nile Rodgers & Chic also on the lineup. Other rumored acts include Olivia Rodrigo, Sam Fender, Stevie Wonder, The 1975, and Sabrina Carpenter.
With resale tickets dropping in the spring, fans will be eagerly awaiting an official Glastonbury lineup announcement.
