Glastonbury 2025 was one for the books – and Team NME was on the ground taking in all the incredible scenes we possibly could, from JADE to Lorde, from Neil Young to Pulp-Patchwork.
We had two photographers with us, too, capturing picture-perfect moments that may help you feel better about having to wait over 700 days for the next Glasto. Feast your eyes on these glorious shots by Andy Ford and Derek Bremner…
