News : Olivia Rodrigo had a great Glastonbury – doing shots with Robert Smith and raving to Pulp

Olivia Rodrigo had a great time at Glastonbury, including doing shots with Robert Smith and watching Pulp’s not-so-secret set.

The US pop star attended the 2025 edition of the Worthy Farm festival this weekend, and took to the main Pyramid Stage on Sunday (June 29) as the final of the three headliners, following on from The 1975 on Friday (June 27) and Neil Young and The Chrome Hearts on Saturday (June 28).

In her set, the singer delivered an explosive performance that saw her channel her rock influences with pyro-infused renditions of ‘Vampire’ and ‘Obsessed’, as well as share moving, stripped-back performances of more sombre tracks like ‘Traitor’ and ‘Favorite Crime’. One of the standout moments, however, came as she introduced The Cure frontman Robert Smith to the stage as a surprise guest, and the two performed the band’s classic tracks ‘Friday I’m In Love’ and ‘Just Like Heaven’.

Now, after closing out the festival in style before a fallow year in 2026, the singer has shared some backstage images of herself at Worthy Farm, showing what she got up to throughout the festival weekend.

The photos include her hanging out with Smith backstage and doing shots with him, as well as a picture of her going to bed wearing a Cure t-shirt.

Also included is a brief clip of her taking a glance at the huge crowd that gathered around the Pyramid stage before her set, and her running out to kick off her performance, as well as footage of her on someone’s shoulders watching Pulp, and proudly belting along to their hit song ‘Common People’.

The latter comes as the Britpop giants played a not-so-secret set at the Pyramid stage the day before, breaking out all of their huge hits after featuring on the bill under the alias of ‘Patchwork’. Check out Rodrigo’s post above.

Rodrigo’s set at Glastonbury 2025 was given a four-star review from NME, and described as one that will “stand the test of time”.

“The flawless vocals and choreography sometimes work to make the set feel a little too perfect and polished, with seldom a moment for the singer to take a break from the carousel of hits to really connect with the eager fans amassed. That being said, there is no doubt about the commitment that Rodrigo has put into this set,” it read.

“For the few naysayers doubting whether or not the 22-year-old was ready to take on the coveted Pyramid slot as the last headliner before a fallow year, this one will stand the test of time and leave us impatient for the Glasto magic to return.”

Pulp’s set, which had the ‘Good 4 U’ star singing along, was given full marks from NME, and praised as “capturing the spirit of the festival on a career-high”.

“In this somewhat humble secret set that’s momentous and joyous enough to be a headline set (not least for the warm reception for Number One album ‘More’, let alone the relentless bangers that make up the setlist), Pulp give themselves over to Glasto and make it all about the people and the moment,” it read.
