Olivia Rodrigo has just been announced as the headliner for BST Hyde Park 2025, a gig which helpfully falls right on Glastonbury weekend.
The Brutal hitmaker is currently on a break from her Guts World Tour, having just finished a string of Australian shows.
Her two widely popular albums have produced three Grammys, three number-one hits and 14 charting songs, with over 2.3million monthly listeners.
After being forced to cancel her Manchester concerts earlier this year, Olivia will be returning to the UK in June for a headlining moment at BST as well as Co-op Live gigs.
How to get tickets to see Olivia Rodrigo at BST
The ‘Good For You’ singer has just announced that she’ll be headlining at British Summer Time (BST) this year, and here’s how you can get tickets.
She will be taking to the London festival on Friday, June 27, with Girl in Red and The Last Dinner Party listed as special guests.
The timing of this show is a little suspicious as it falls on the Friday of Glastonbury 2025, ruling her out from that heavily rumoured opening night headline slot.

However, it does leave her weekend free for a performance at the Worthy Farm festival, possibly a Saturday or Sunday headlining show.
Glastonbury organisers are reportedly ‘keen to get more high-profile female performers topping the bill’ due to heavy criticism in the past over male-dominated lineups.
In total, there have only been eight female headliners in the festival’s 54-year run — nine if you include 2020’s cancelled festival which had announced Taylor Swift.
This worked well last year with Dua Lipa taking the Friday headline slot to huge success, however, fumbled slightly on Sunday with SZA’s lacklustre closing moment.
With Olivia not needing to head to Manchester until her Monday (June 30) show, both weekend slots are free.
It’s unlikely organisers will want a repeat of 2024’s disappointing end, especially as it prepares to take a year off in 2026.
Olivia did play the Other Stage two years ago, bringing out Lily Allen in an iconic moment and her star power has only grown since then.
The Logical hitmaker joins an eclectic selection of stars announced for BST, including Jeff Lynne’s ELO, Zach Bryan, Hugh Jackman, and Noah Kahan.
Tickets for Olivia at BST Hyde Park go on general sale at 9am GMT on Friday, November 15.
