Beyoncé's odds to headline at Glastonbury Festival 2025 have been slashed as the star announced her Cowboy Carter tour. The Texas Hold 'Em singer, 43, recently took home a few gongs at the Grammy Awards - including a long-awaited Album of the Year award. The singer broke the news hours before Sunday night's Grammy Awards. Whipping up excitement, Beyoncé's Instagram first posted a video of a flashing Cowboy Carter sign and a second close-up shot of the singer's face.
The homepage of her website was updated with the same display. The singer last performed in the UK in 2023 on the Renaissance World Tour, which saw her play five dates at London’s Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. And this summer, she's returning to the stadium to perform on the 5th, 7th, 10th and 12th June this year. After her gigs in London, Beyoncé is flying over to Paris 19 and 21 before returning to Houston for a gig on 28. That leaves the star a few days to possibly surprise fans at Glastonbury, which is happening between 25 and 29 June. It may be a tight squeeze if she were to perform on Friday 27 June, but it's nothing a mega superstar hasn't done before.
Leading bookmaker Coral says they have seen strong support for Beyoncé to headline Glastonbury 2025, and have slashed her odds to 2-1 (from 10-1) to be confirmed as one of the artists set to play the festival this summer. “We know Beyoncé will be heading across to London for her Cowboy Carter tour this summer, and that may not be her only visit, as we have seen strong support for Queen B to be one of the headline acts at Glastonbury," said Coral's John Hill.
Other odds include 1-5 for Charli XCX, 4-5 for Stevie Wonder, 5-4 for Nile Rodgers, 6-4 for Olivia Rodrigo, 7-4 for Chappell Roan, 2-1 for Ed Sheeran, 2-1 for Foo Fights, and 9-4 for Harry Styles. Beyoncé was originally going to announce her tour in January but postponed it due to the "devastation" of the California wildfires. On Instagram, Beyoncé, whose BeyGood foundation donated 2.5 million US dollars (£2.05 million) to Los Angeles relief efforts, wrote: “The January 14th announcement will be postponed to a later date due to the devastation caused by the ongoing wildfires around areas of Los Angeles. I continue to pray for healing and rebuilding for the families suffering from trauma and loss. We are so blessed to have brave first responders who continue to work tirelessly to protect the Los Angeles community.”.
