Glastonbury fans were divided by the stage set up during Sunday night as some thought Olivia Rodrigo’s headline Pyramid Stage set should have been replaced by another act
Some Glastonbury fans shared their frustration over the stage set up during the final performances of the 2025 festival. Pop star Olivia Rodrigo landed the role of closing this year’s event on the Pyramid Stage.
She performed to a massive crowd as fans flocked to see the American star perform her hits such as Drivers License and Good 4 U. While she took to the iconic stage, The Prodigy also performed on the Other Stage.
They also attracted a major crowd as the two artists have a very different fan base. However, some fans thought Olivia and the Prodigy should have switched stages.
One fan fumed: “Prodigy should have been on the main stage, Olivia Rodrigo should have been relegated to this one!” Another added: “Here’s a thought, The Prodigy right now, headliners of main stage maybe?? Swap old man Young for this awesome madness.”
Someone else commented: “The prodigy are utterly smashing this up, unreal. Should be on pyramid. Daft. One of the best live I’ve ever seen, just pure insanity for 90 minutes.”
However, a fourth teased: “The Prodigy fans kicking off because the BBC are showing Olivia Rodrigo instead. Call your kids and ask them to explain how iPlayer works x.”
Other fans expressed their love for both acts. One said: “Conflicted about who to tune into tonight, Olivia Rodrigo or the Prodigy. Prodigy bring the energy, but I have a real curiosity in seeing who Olivia Rodrigo might bring out on stage with her, and I can’t fault her tunes. Two very solid Sunday night closers.”
A fan also gushed: “Olivia Rodrigo is an amazing performer. A great headliner… and only 22!” Olivia, 22, rose to global fame for her hit single, Driver’s License, topping the charts along with her songs Vampire and Good 4 You.
The former Disney star previously performed at Glastonbury’s Other Stage in 2022, going viral for bringing out British singer Lily Allen. They sang Lily’s hit single, F*** You, after the pop-star condemned the US Supreme Court for overturning Roe v Wade and allowing individual US states to ban abortion.
“I’m devastated and terrified that so many women and so many girls are going to die because of this,” Olivia said on stage ahead of singing with Lily.
“I wanted to dedicate this next song to the five members of the Supreme Court who have showed us that at the end of the day, they truly don’t care about freedom.”
Olivia revealed headlining Glastonbury was a “dream” for her. Posting on her Instagram story, the singer said: “Headlining glasto has been one of my biggest dreams for so long. Truly can’t believe this! So grateful and sooo excited. Hope to see you there.”
Before her music career, she was an actor on Disney Channel, starring in High School Musical: The Musical: The Series as well as the television series Bizaardvark, which follows two best friends as they create music videos and share vlogs on their website.
