Авикомпания British Airways отозвала свою рекламу у подкастера Луиса Теру после его интервью с фронтменом группы Bob Vylan. В конце июня на фестивале в Гластонбери Паскаль Робинсон-Фостер со сцены выкрикивал антиизраильские высказывания — «Смерть ЦАХАЛ» и призывал к свободе Палестины. Фирма удалила спонсорскую рекламу, так как подкаст Теру «нарушает политику спонсорства в отношении политически деликатных или спорных тем», пояснили представители а...

‘I have different weathers in my brain’: how Celeste rekindled her love of music after heartbreak and loss
On Glastonbury’s Pyramid stage in June, Celeste appeared wearing smeared black eye makeup and a leather jacket moulded with the impression of feathers, latched at the throat. She evoked glamour and tragedy, a bird with its wings clipped. “My first album came out nearly five years ago and I didn’t expect it to take so long,” she said of its follow-up. “But I’m here now.” Celeste broke through in 20...

No, Glastonbury does not reflect a new England | Letters
John Harris paints Glastonbury as a reflection of England’s liberal heart, but let’s not kid ourselves (At Glastonbury, I saw what England’s silent majority really looks like. Why aren’t politicians listening?, 13 July). Glastonbury might be progressive in spirit, but it’s also pricey, exclusive and overwhelmingly middle class. Tickets sell out in minutes. Getting there costs a fortune. That’s not...
At Glastonbury, I saw what England’s silent majority really looks like. Why aren’t politicians listening? | John Harris
It was a hot day in July, but the headlines felt as if they could have come from any day over the last six months. While the dependably shrill TV channel GB News asked its viewers whether negotiations with France “could signal a shift towards closer ties with the EU”, Keir Starmer and his colleagues were in final talks about so-called small boats. Before he got to the diplomatic details, the BBC’s...
Glastonbury festival’s breadth makes it great value for money | Letter
Having just volunteered with Oxfam at Glastonbury festival, I’ve had some insight into the amount of work that goes into installing the vast infrastructure and acres of immersive artwork before a single artist sets foot on one of the dozens of stages. Over four-plus days I had virtually continuous access to a wide range of events, fuelled by my own food and drink (unlike most festivals). The cost...

Glastonbury ticket cost has damaged the festival’s diversity | Letter
Zoe Williams is right to highlight the prohibitively high price of a ticket to Glastonbury festival, as well as the wider costs involved in getting there (BuzzBallz, brat tenacity and hangover face: 25 things I learned about the world at Glastonbury 2025, 29 June). “Is it unreasonable to mourn a time when more young people could afford to come?” she asks.

Ministers are fretting about Britain’s falling birthrate. Here’s why it could be a good thing | Larry Elliott
Back in the early 1970s when he was lead singer with the Faces, few of his fans would have expected Rod Stewart to be still belting out Maggie May at Glastonbury more than half a century later. Long gone are the days when rock stars hoped to die before they got old. Instead, 80-year-old rock stars symbolise the fact that Britain and other developed economies have ageing populations. Women are havi...

The truth must come out about BBC mistakes at Glastonbury. But here’s why Tim Davie must stay | Roger Bolton
Uneasy lies the head that wears the BBC crown. Tim Davie, the beleaguered director general (DG), must be checking in the mirror to see if he is still wearing it and fearing the phone call which will summon him to the chair’s office for an urgent word. Many BBC leaders have been made to fall on their sword, usually as the result of animosity from political leaders and a media furore. The stress is...
