GLASTONBLOODYBURY, MUN! If you thought 2007 was bad, think again. The heavens opened over Glastonbury 2025 like someone up there was having a proper tantrum — and decided to dump the Atlantic Ocean on Worthy Farm. 🙃☔
We’re talking full-blown Noah’s Ark cosplay here. Tents floating, wellies swallowed whole, and more ponchos than at a Slipknot gig in a hurricane. If your sleeping bag wasn’t soggy, were you even there?
🌧️ A Deluge of Epic Proportions
By midday Friday, the festival had transformed from a lush musical paradise into the UK’s largest accidental lake. Twitter (sorry, X) exploded with clips of folks kayaking past the Pyramid Stage, while one brave soul attempted to crowd surf… in a paddling pool. 😂
You couldn’t get near the loos without a lifeboat and a minor miracle. People were comparing set times and flood depths:
“Is that IDLES at 3pm or just someone screaming as their airbed floats past Gate C?”
🎶 The Show Must Go On… Somehow
Credit where it’s due: the music still slapped. Sound crews defied physics to keep things running. Rumour has it the Foo Fighters played an acoustic version of “Learn to Swim” from Tool. Coincidence? We think not. 🧐
Lana Del Rey returned this year and ironically delivered her most upbeat set ever — possibly just to keep the crowd from emotionally drowning. Meanwhile, Liam Gallagher yelled at the clouds like they owed him money. Standard.
🏕️ Survivors of the Swamp
Festival-goers got resourceful real quick:
- Inflatable flamingo used as transport? ✅
- Bin bags turned into waterproof couture? ✅
- Mudslide races by The Other Stage? ✅✅✅
“Only in Wales, mun…” someone muttered, clearly confused and several ciders deep.

- “Never been so wet while sober. And I wasn’t even sober.”
🤘 Proper Rock ‘n’ Roll Resilience
Despite the weather, spirits were sky-high (even if tents weren’t). That’s the magic of Glasto, innit? Rain, shine, or apocalyptic drizzle — music unites us in mud-soaked madness.
So if you’re sat at home smug and dry, just remember: you didn’t get trench foot in the name of rock ‘n’ roll. These muddy warriors did. And they’ve got the Instagram reels to prove it.
