Glastonbury Festival 2025 sparks heated debate – Calls everywhere for Raye to Headline – Fans point out Reasons PROVING whether she or Rod Stewart truly deserves the Top Spot?
BBC Glastonbury viewers all say same thing after watching Raye’s performance
Raye performed on the Pyramid Stage on Saturday night at Glastonbury Festival 2025.
Glastonbury goers are in firm agreement after Raye’s electrifying performance on the Pyramid Stage, insisting the festival “should have” given her the top headline spot.
The legendary Glastonbury Festival made an unforgettable comeback this weekend, drawing over 200,000 festival-goers and some of the world’s most renowned artists.
Raye captured the spotlight during the enviable Saturday evening slot at 8pm, kicking off her act with her live band and backing vocalists sprinting to their stations.
A box marked “fragile” became the centre of attention as it was wheeled onto the stage, revealing Raye herself when opened, stunning in a glittery black dress.
She started her set with her ballad Where’s My Husband and continued with crowd favourites such as The Thrill Is Gone, heart-wrenching Ice Cream Man, and debut of her latest track I Know You’re Hurting.

Fans took to X, known previously as Twitter, to rave about Raye’s stint on stage, proclaiming she “smashed it”.
Comments poured in praising her performance, with many arguing she deserved the prestigious headliner slot, currently occupied by none other than Rod Stewart for the Legends performance.
Social media was abuzz asking: “Why is Raye not headlining?”, while others echoed: “Raye was absolutely amazing, should have been headlining with a bigger band and more backup singers.”
Another sentiment making the rounds was a straightforward “Raye should have been headlining tonight.”

But others are already looking to the future, with many hoping she will be taking the headliner spot at the next festival.
“Next time headlining I hope, Raye that was incredible”, one fan ecstatically tweeted, while another enthused: “Raye should headline in 2027.”
“Future headline act right there! What a woman! What a singer!” another admirer chimed in online.
Rock legend Rod Stewart, famed for anthems like Sailing and Maggie May, is set to command the Pyramid Stage at 3.45pm for a two-hour spectacle.
The day will wind down with pop sensation Olivia Rodrigo taking over for another spellbinding two-hour performance at 9.45pm, belting out chart-topping hits including Drivers License, Good 4 U, and Traitor.
