GLASTONBURY is almost upon us with tickets recently selling out within 30 minutes for the 2025 event last week.
The Somerset-based festival is deemed the "creme de la creme" by many festival goers and musicians, who aspire to play on the Pyramid Stage.
Last year’s headliners divided fans, with Dua Lipa on the Friday night, Coldplay headlining on Saturday, and American singer SZA closing out the festival, with Shania Twain in the Legends Slot.
This year's Somerset Festival has seen many star-studded rumoured names on the line-up - with three famous names all expected to play.
Eminem is the pick of the rumoured bunch, although he has never performed at the Somerset venue.
Next year, rap superstar Eminem is rumoured to be headlining the festival, after releasing his 12th studio album, The Death of Slim Shady, in July.
He’s never performed at Glastonbury but has headlined the Reading and Leeds Festivals in 2017, and recently, has performed after a long hiatus at the MTV Video Music Awards back in September.
Stevie Wonder and Rihanna are also heavily linked to perform in 2025.
The odds on favourite to headline before things switched up this month was American sensation, Olivia Rodrigo.
The American singer-songwriter and actress, 21, first became popular for her appearance on the Disney Channel series before picking up nearly 50 million monthly listeners on Spotify as of this month (November).

Sam Fender is another rumoured act for the headline slot, after he teased a possible tour in 2025, while Olivia Rodrigo fuelled reports she would be on the line-up after she announced she would be performing at BST Hyde Park in June.
The UK gig means she will be in the UK around the time of the festival - leading to much speculation that she be will be at Glastonbury next year.
The official line-up announcement will be made early next year.
