On Sunday (June 29), the Baltimore hardcore band – which now features the UK’s very own Meg Mills – took over the Other Stage for one of the most energetic sets of the entire weekend at Worthy Farm, inciting countless mosh pits along the way.
Brendan Yates and co kicked things off with ‘Never Enough’ from their recent album album of the same name, followed by the pit-starting hardcore tune ‘T.L.C. (Turnstile Love Connection)’.
The packed out Other Stage launched numerous mosh and circle pits throughout the band’s – check out footage of the massive pit during ‘I Care/Dull’ below.
We declared Turnstile should be a bigger artist #Glastonbury

Don’t care one bit for Glastonbury, but when Turnstile are on you know I’m watching.

Elsewhere, they performed hits from across their discography like ‘Drop’ ‘Seein’ Stars’, ‘Holiday’, ‘Mystery’, ‘Blackout’ and more.
Turnstile ended their set with one of their newer tunes, ‘Birds’, which also saw massive mosh pits across the field, with frontman Yates crowdsurfing to punctuate their set.
The pit for Birds 🫶🏻 Turnstile delivered.

That Turnstile set is the best of the weekend. Franz calling for a wall of death, circle pits left, right and centre, Brendan shouting “Free Palestine” and ending with BIRDS. A top notch hardcore set at a mainstream festival, unreal 😮💨😮💨 #Glastonbury2025

This year’s Glastonbury has seen outspoken politics sets from the likes of Kneecap and Amyl & The Sniffers, as well as a Bob Vylan performance that the festival itself said it was “appalled” by due to frontman Bobby Vylan leading chants of “death to the IDF”.
Elsewhere, The 1975 “delivered a reminder of their chops for tunes and showmanship” during their Friday night Pyramid headline slot, Neil Young “proved there is still power to be found in an old-school approach” the following night, while Charli XCX delivered a final victory lap for her ‘Brat’ era on the Other Stage on Saturday night.
The final day of the festival, today will see sets from Olivia Rodrigo, The Prodigy and many more. Check out the full line-up and schedule here.
