The Libertines and CMAT are set to perform at Glastonbury‘s Pilton Party this weekend – you can find all the details below.

The annual event is staged at Worthy Farm in Somerset as a ‘thank you’ fundraising gig for villagers, workers and local people in the area.

This year marks the 40th anniversary of Pilton Party, which first took place back in 1984. On Friday (September 6), The Libertines will top the bill on an open-air stage close to where the Woodsies Stage (fka the John Peel Stage) is located at Glastonbury Festival.

CMAT is scheduled to open for the band following slots from local support acts, and DJ sets courtesy of Patmandu and Baggy Mondays.

In 2020, Chris Martin recalled how Coldplay filling in for The Strokes at Pilton Party led to his band’s first headline set at Glastonbury Festival.

Martin and co. returned to Worthy Farm in June to headline the Pyramid Stage for a record-breaking fifth time. They topped the Glastonbury Festival 2024 line-up alongside Dua Lipa and SZA.

All eyes are now on Glastonbury 2025, which is due to take place from Wednesday June 25 to Sunday June 29 ahead of a fallow year in 2026. Tickets for the next edition are expected to go on sale in November, ahead of resales in the spring.
