Olivia Rodrigo's Glastonbury Triumph: Live Album to Remember
Share
Glastonbury 2025 has come and gone, and for many, the weekend's defining moment was Olivia Rodrigo's spectacular performance. Her return to the festival, three years after her groundbreaking debut, was nothing short of a coronation. This wasn't any old show - it was a powerful statement that solidified her place among the music elite and a therapy session for thousands rolled into one.
Her 2022 Glastonbury appearance on the Other Stage was a hint of what was to come—a raw, emotional set that resonated with the crowd. But this year, she commanded the legendary Pyramid Stage with the confidence of a seasoned headliner. The setlist was a masterclass in pacing, blending the raw angst of "SOUR" with the defiant punk energy of "GUTS." The crowd became a single, unified voice, screaming every word to anthems like "Vampire" and "good 4 u," creating a palpable sense of shared catharsis.
The set was filled with memorable moments, but none was as talked about as her surprise duet with The Cure's Robert Smith. In a move that sent a wave of shock and delight through the festival grounds, the two performed breathtaking renditions of "Friday I'm in Love" and "Just Like Heaven." It was a perfect fusion of generations, showcasing Rodrigo's deep respect for music history while proving her own star power.
Relive the Magic: Live From Glastonbury (A BBC Recording)
