The art sculpture makes its return for the third year running in the William’s Green area after it made its debut in 2023. It is made by revolutionary underground artist Joe Rush, who is also the founder of the Mutoid Waste Company, and the “builder of rock’n’roll environments”. The design – which is named after Stonehenge – was developed out of 24 mutated vintage cars and will be displayed in the middle of the festival.

Amongst the highlights of this year’s event will be a tribute to Flint who died by suicide on March 4, 2019. He was 49 years-old.

The remaining members of The Prodigy will also be headlining The Other Stage on the closing night (June 29) of the Worthy Farm bash.

Throughout the festival an eclectic line-up of street musicians, ranking DJ’s, hardcore garage punk band and carnival drummers will also be performing at Carhenge including Finnish garage rock rebels US, fresh from their tour with Electric Six, one-man blues-grunge-rock dynamo, Cam Cole and the Notting Hill Carnival collective.

New for 2025 is the Busker’s Stage, where each day a curated lineup of grassroots performers and travelling musicians will also perform at the henge. You can find further information here.

Glastonbury returns to Worthy Farm in Somerset between June 25 and 29, ahead of a fallow year in 2026. Tickets initally sold out last November, with the official resales then taking place in April.

The 1975, Neil Young  and Olivia Rodrigo will headline this year’s event while Rod Stewart will be taking on the coveted Legend Slot on the Pyramid Stage on Sunday afternoon.

Other big names across the weekend include Biffy Clyro, The Maccabees, Lucy Dacus, Father John Misty, RAYE, Wolf Alice, The Prodigy, Doechii, St. Vincent, Deftones, The Libertines, Wet Leg, Weezer, Nile Rodgers & Chic, Future Islands, JADE, TV On The Radio, Self Esteem, CMAT, Blossoms and Turnstile.

There’s a host of Glasto first-timers, too. These include Alanis Morissette, Noah Kahan, Lola Young, Myles Smith (winner of this year’s BRITs Rising Star award), Busta Rhymes, Brandi Carlile and Gary Numan. You can view the full line-up here.

Elsewhere, The Prodigy honoured Flint during their Coachella 2025 set last month.

During the show, which was their third at the festival, the band beamed a laser outline of the late singer on stage that moved in time to their 1996 hit single ‘Firestarter’, with snippets of his vocals. They did a similar thing at last year’s Reading and Leeds Festival.
