Watch: Lola Young takes us behind the scenes at Glastonbury 2025

In an exclusive Dazed takeover, the 24-year-old hitmaker walks us through the journey leading up to her explosive performance at Glastonbury’s Woodies Stage

London-based hitmaker Lola Young may have made her name singing “Messy”, but she did Glastonbury in style this year. 

In an exclusive behind-the-scenes video for Dazed, the 24-year-old singer-songwriter’s shares her journey to the festival, her makeup and hair routine, and some of her explosive Woodies stage set last Sunday (June 27). Off camera, the rising star shared that her performance was inspired by indie singer Lianne LaHavas, as well as “all of the greats” that came before her, and added that she was most looking forward to seeing Charli xcx and Alanis Morissette’s sets. As for her festival essentials? “Lip liner, water and… a tent?” 

Watch Lola Young’s full Glastonbury takeover below, as well as some behind-the-scenes flicks from her experience above.
