Olivia Rodrigo & Robert Smith Glastonbury 2025

Olivia Rodrigo was joined by The Cure’s Robert Smith during her headline set at Glastonbury Festival in England on Sunday evening (June 29).

The “Vampire” singer was headlining the festival for the first time, having made her debut performance at the festival in 2022 on the Other Stage where she was joined by Lily Allen. On Sunday she headlined the larger Pyramid Stage, following sets on the previous nights from The 1975 and Neil Young.

Midway through her set she addressed the crowd to introduce what she described as “perhaps the best songwriter to come out of England and a personal hero. I f—ing love England and its bands like The Cure that made me fall in love with England.”

Smith, clad in a sequinned hoodie, joined her on stage to perform two iconic songs from The Cure’s back catalogue — 1992’s “Friday I’m In Love” and 1987’s “Just Like Heaven” — to a rapturous reaction from the crowd. Watch the performance here.

The Cure have headlined the festival in previous years, most recently in 2019.

Rodrigo’s 90-minute set came on the festival’s final night and saw her run through her hits for a packed crowd. She split the set evenly between 2021 debut Sour and 2023’s Guts, with “Get Him Back!”, “Brutal,” “Drivers License” and more all garnering strong responses.

During the performance she also made reference to her English boyfriend Louis Partridge, having and being snapped partying on the actor’s shoulders during Pulp’s set on the Pyramid Stage on Saturday afternoon.

On Friday, meanwhile, she was joined by Ed Sheeran for duet of “The A Team” during her performance at London’s BST Hyde Park.
