glastonbury 2025 many acts many acres

Glastonbury 2025 has come to a close. Established in 1970, the iconic festival now attracts around 200,000 visitors each year, with over 80 stages and more than 3,000 performances spanning music, dance, comedy, and more.

The festival isn’t just huge in visitor numbers and performances – it also spans a vast area of about 1,500 acres, the equivalent of 32,289 average-sized gardens. That’s as big as a mid-sized town, and roughly twice the size of the City of London.

Headliners at this year’s festival included Neil Young, Olivia Rodrigo, and Rod Stewart, with ‘secret’ sets by Lewis Capaldi and Lorde. Source: Dataloft by PriceHubble, ONS, UK HPI April 2025, England and Wales
