Olivia Rodrigo has confirmed the release of a live album capturing her unforgettable headline performance at this year’s Glastonbury Festival. The record, titled Live From Glastonbury (A BBC Recording), will arrive on December 5, giving fans a chance to relive one of the summer’s most talked-about sets.
The 22-year-old pop sensation took to the iconic Pyramid Stage on Sunday, June 29, cementing her status as one of the most exciting artists of her generation. The setlist included her biggest hits, from the fiery “Bad Idea Right?” and “Good 4 U” to fan-favourites that had the crowd of thousands singing every word back at her.
One of the highlights of Rodrigo’s set was a surprise collaboration with Robert Smith of The Cure, who joined her on stage for renditions of “Friday I’m In Love” and “Just Like Heaven.” The unexpected appearance instantly went viral, with fans hailing it as one of the standout Glastonbury moments of the decade.
Speaking after the show, Rodrigo said the experience of headlining Glastonbury was “a dream come true,” adding that performing alongside one of her musical heroes was “something I’ll never forget.” Now, with the live album, fans who were there, and millions who weren’t, will be able to revisit the magic.

The album, recorded in collaboration with the BBC, is expected to feature Rodrigo’s full Pyramid Stage performance, giving listeners the festival experience from the comfort of their homes. It continues a growing tradition of Glastonbury live recordings being made available officially, highlighting the cultural importance of the festival and its ability to bring together generations of music fans.
Rodrigo’s rise has been meteoric since her breakout single “drivers license” in 2021. With two chart-topping albums already under her belt, she has earned three Grammy Awards, countless accolades, and a fiercely loyal global fanbase. Her headline slot at Glastonbury 2025 was seen as the ultimate validation of her status as one of the defining voices of modern pop.
For many, the Pyramid Stage set marked a new high point in her career. Critics praised her confident performance, her powerful vocals, and her ability to connect with the massive audience, despite her young age. Fans flooded social media with clips and reactions, with many calling it “career-defining” and “legendary.”
Live From Glastonbury (A BBC Recording) is set to be one of the most anticipated releases of the year, not just for Rodrigo’s fans, but for music lovers who recognise the importance of capturing historic festival moments.
With a December release date, the album is perfectly timed for the holiday season, and is already tipped to be at the top of many Christmas wish lists.
