Glastonbury 2025: PinkPantheress has cancelled one of her two sets

PinkPantheress has cancelled one of her two sets at Glastonbury 2025.
The British singer, real name Victoria Beverley Walker, was set to play two performances at this year’s edition of Glasto – one at the Levels stage in Silver Hayes, and one in Woodsies.
Now, just an hour after festival organisers Michael and Emily Eavis opened the gates to the 2025 event, it has been revealed that the first of the PinkPantheress shows has been axed.
The 30-minute performance was set for the Levels stage at 11pm tomorrow night (Thursday June 26) – offering fans the chance to see her in a more intimate setting than usual.
Few details have been shared about why the singer pulled out, although a Glasto spokesperson did say that it was unrelated to the rumours of overcrowding, and actually due to an issue with timing.
“This change was absolutely not as a result of overcrowding fears; the artist was simply no longer able to make this performance,” they said (via The Independent), adding that the second of her performances will go ahead as planned. “She is still playing her Woodsies set.”
Already, a replacement has been booked for the Levels slot tomorrow night, with electronic artist Roza Terenzi set to take to the stage between 10:30pm and midnight. The set will come between performances from Confidence Man and Marie Davidson.
The iconic festival is running from now up until Sunday (June 29), ahead of a fallow year in 2026. Headliners are Neil Young, Rod Stewart, The 1975 and Olivia Rodrigo on the Pyramid Stage, while Loyle Carner, Charli XCX and The Prodigy will perform on the Other Stage.
Other big names on the bill include Biffy Clyro, The Maccabees, Lucy Dacus, Father John Misty, RAYE, Wolf Alice, The Prodigy, Doechii, St. Vincent, Deftones, The Libertines, Wet Leg, Weezer, Nile Rodgers & Chic, Future Islands, JADE, TV On The Radio, Self Esteem, CMAT, Blossoms and Turnstile.
Recently, Emily Eavis opened up about changes made to the site for 2025, including a new Dragon’s Tail area to Shangri-La and additional space around The Other Stage – done particularly due to the huge number of people who will be wanting to see Charli XCX perform there as headliner on the Saturday night.
There have also been rumours about some secret sets at this year’s festival that arose after the full line-up and day splits were unveiled at the start of the month.
The name with the best odds is Pulp – although both frontman Jarvis Cocker and keyboardist Candida Doyle have been quick to dismiss the rumours.
Other favourites include Lorde – who recently said she was eager to “pull some strings” and organise a last-minute appearance – HAIM, who have been dropping hints about their love for the festival in recent interviews, and Lewis Capaldi, who is speculated to be behind the new billboard that appeared in Castle Cary yesterday (June 24).
