8 Scottish artists to watch at Glastonbury 2025

Biffy Clyro

Formed in Kilmarnock in 1995 by twin brothers James and Ben Johnston and Simon Neil, Biffy Clyro will take to the Pyramid Stage for the third time. The Scottish rockers have also just announced that they will be releasing a new album, Futique, on Friday 26 September.
Pyramid Stage, Friday, 8.15pm.

Talisk

The Scottish folk band was founded in Glasgow ten years ago and won Folk Band of the Year At The Scots Trad Music Awards in 2017. With energetic and enthusiastic tunes, they’re guaranteed to put a smile on your face.  
Avalon Stage, Sunday, 12.30pm.

Franz Ferdinand

The release of the rock band’s sixth album in January this year sets the stage for an exciting return to Glastonbury, as the Glasgow band last performed at the festival in 2009.
Other Stage, Friday, 5.15pm.

Corto.alto

The jazz collective was formed in Glasgow by Liam Shortall, trombonist, guitarist and producer. Despite strong studio origins, the group has embraced live shows, with Shortall telling us in 2023 that, ‘we never do setlists or rehearsals. Sometimes that falls on its arse but that’s the risk you take. I’d rather that than have people feeling scared to express themselves.’ Read the full interview here.
West Holts Stage, Friday, 11.30am.

Skerryvore

The high-energy, trad-rock fusion band takes Glastonbury for the first time, and in their 20th anniversary year of all years! With eight members and nine albums, Skerryvore promises a powerful set that shouldn’t be missed.
Acoustic Stage, Friday, 4pm.

Brooke Combe

Originally from near Edinburgh, the soul and R&B singer, songwriter and instrumentalist is returning to Glastonbury following the independent release of her debut album this year.
Avalon Stage, Sunday, 1.55pm.

The Fratellis

Having not performed at Glastonbury since 2008, this year will see the long awaited return of the Glasgow-based rock band. Big hits and brash indie rock make up what will be a singalong performance.
Avalon Stage, Friday, 11.05pm.

Lewis Capaldi

Some publications are reporting that Capaldi will perform a surprise set on the Pyramid Stage tomorrow. This would be the Bathgate-born singer’s first big gig since his 2023 Glastonbury set, when he needed the crowd’s help to finish a song. It’s also rumoured that Capaldi is releasing a new single, his first in more than a year.

Glastonbury, until Sunday 29 June.
