Musician Bobby Vylan has broken his silence with a defiant response following his controversial Glastonbury set on Saturday.

Rapper Bobby, of punk duo Bob Vylan, this weekend led crowds on the festival's West Holts Stage in chants of: "Free, free Palestine" and: "Death, death to the IDF". Police are continuing to examine videos of the comments he made on stage, and what happened during Kneecap's set.

Posting on Instagram, he told his fans that he had been “inundated” with a mixture of “support and hatred” following the performance but that he stood by what he said and is calling for “a change in foreign policy” despite the the Israeli Embassy saying it was "deeply disturbed by the inflammatory and hateful rhetoric expressed on stage at the Glastonbury Festival".

Olivia Rodrigo closed this year's Glastonbury with a performance to remember. Taking to the stage in a short white corseted dress, the American looked in awe of the sheer volume of people who had come to see her on the Pyramid Stage.

Playing her biggest hits, including Drivers Licence, Vampire and Traitor, Olivia showcased her talents with flawless vocals and impressive piano skills. However, it was a surprise guest appearance that had fans gobsmacked.

The American singer-songwriter welcomed singer-songwriter Robert Smith to perform a double of duets. And it was their performance of Friday I'm In Love that had fans gasping.

Glastonbury Festival 2025 has come to an end after a weekend of weather changes, chaos and incredible sets from the world's biggest stars. Festival goers were eager to enter Worthy Farm for a long weekend of fun on Wednesday morning as thousands queued up with their tents and supplies.

Days later, fans are now rushing home to have a steaming hot shower and sleep in their own comfortable beds as they abandoned their tents at Worthy Farm. Pictures showed empty beer cans, plates, takeaway boxes, and other piles of rubbish all over the fields from over 200,000 Glasto attendees as volunteers rushed to start the clean-up process.

Olivia Rodrigo bought the festival to a close on Sunday night with her epic performance on the Pyramid Stage while The Prodigy performed on the Other Stage. Jorja Smith sang to fans on Woodsies and The Maccabees were at The Park Stage.
