Glastonbury announce line up for Silver Hayes including legendary Brit DJ, EastEnders star and Gary Lineker

GLASTONBURY has revealed the official line-up for its Silver Hayes dance area – and it includes a former EastEnders star.

Festival organisers have today dropped the full bill for the huge area, which includes stages The Levels, Lonely Hearts Club, Assembly, and Firmly Rooted Soundsystem.

Goldie, who played gangster Angel Hudson in EastEnders, is among the huge itinerary for The Levels on Friday.

The DJ, whose real name is Clifford Joseph Price, had previously self-confirmed his return to Worthy Farm while chatting to Nick Grimshaw on BBC Radio 6 in February.

Meanwhile, legendary Brit DJ Fatboy Slim – aka Norman Cook – will be taking to the decks at Lonely Hearts Club on the Saturday.

And in a big surprise, footie pundit and former England player Gary Lineker has been given a slot.

The star, who bows out from Match Of The Day just weeks before Glastonbury, will appear as a guest speaker along with fellow football icon Jill Scott and Lioness Carly Telford.

Across the festival’s four-day run, Silver Hayes will also include sets from a huge list of artists, including Marie Davidson, Groove Armada, Skream & Benga and A.G. Cook.

Announcing the full Silver Hayes line-up, Emily Eavis said: “Silver Hayes returns with the same message in an ever more chaotic and divided world.

“We firmly believe we don’t have to accept how things are, a better future is still possible, optimism is still a political act and hope itself is resistance and needed now more than ever.

“When culture wars dominate, and division and polarisation becomes the norm, the time for community, unity and collective resistance becomes vital – we look to foster this at this year’s festival through music, talks and collective joy as an act of resistance.

“There is far more that unites us than divides us.”

Groove Armada is one dance act that had already given away their Glastonbury booking.

The electronic music duo, made up of Andy Cato and Tom Findlay, had released a cryptic set of tour dates on their official Facebook page.

The dates were for their forthcoming UK and European tour but four had been blocked out with white rectangles.

One of those dates was a mystery gig on June 26th – right in the middle of the Worthy Farm music extravaganza.

Eagle-eyed fans spotted it immediately, with one excitedly commenting: “Ohhh gaps for Glastonbury!!”

Another posted a ‘bold eyes’ emoji and wrote: “Glastonbury on the 26th of June.” 

The Glastonbury 2025 main stages acts were officially confirmed last month with the names of the three performers that will be headlining.

The 1975, Olivia Rodrigo, and Neil Young will top the bill on the Pyramid Stage this summer.

Sir Rod Stewart will perform his classic tracks in the Legends slot, while up-and-comers like Lola Young will entertain the younger generation of festival-goers.

Loyle Carner is headlining the Other Stage on the Friday, while Charli XCX is performing on the same day as Neil Young when she tops the second stage.

But the line-up – which also includes Lola Young – has fallen flat with fans.

It has been branded “the worst ever” by some, with ticket-holders even demanding a refund.

One complained online: “That’s gotta be the worst #Glastonbury like up I’ve ever seen.”

Glastonbury will take place at Worthy Farm in Somerset between June 25 and 29.
