Gary Lineker lands shock Glastonbury gig! Departing Match Of The Day host to star alongside Olivia Rodrigo & The 1975 as marquee attraction of 2025 festival

It has already been announced that Rodrigo and The 1975 will be filling headline slots on the Pyramid stage when an iconic festival returns to Worthy Farm in late June. Charli xcx, RAYE, Neil Young and The Prodigy are among the other notable acts to have been locked in for the 2025 event.

According to The Sun, ex-England striker Lineker - who is stepping down as MOTD presenter after 25 years in that post - will also form part of the Glastonbury line-up alongside some iconic musicians and comedians.

Lineker will not be singing or telling jokes, with his presence expected on ‘The Information’ stage. Said venue is described by Glastonbury as a "dedicated space for discussion and debate... with a diverse programme of speakers, activists and political figures."

Former Lionesses star Jill Scott, who is a Euro 2022 and I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here winner, will also be speaking, as will Chelsea’s commercial manager Carly Telford. The subject matter for Lineker’s discussion is yet to be confirmed.
