Timothée Chalamet is reportedly set to play a secret set at Glastonbury 2025 following his incredible performance as Bob Dylan in A Complete Unknown.

Timothée, 29, gained notoriety for his performance in the music icon’s iconic shoes after entering the critically acclaimed biopic that won an Oscars season and for singing Dylan’s classics without lip-syncing.

Now, rumors suggest Chalamet will be bringing that same unreleased vocal energy to Glastonbury in 2025, specifically to an already-exploited set.

According to The Sun, Chalamet is scheduled to play with the Dylan-inspired ensemble Not Completely Unknown on Saturday, June 28.

The band’s listing on Glastonbury’s official website makes reference to “special guests,” which further aggravates the whispers.

If it occurs, Chalamet will be the first artist to perform his Dylan interpretations live in a real concert setting other than movie promotion.

He and James Blake had a small group of songs on Saturday Night Live earlier this year, and they kicked things off with a full-band rendition of “Outlaw Blues” from the 1965 film Bringing It All Back Home.

He then performed Blake and Blake’s rendition of “Tomorrow Is A Long Time” from New Morning (1970), and he then wrapped up the set with a stripped-back acoustic rendition of “Tomorrow Is a Long Time.”

The 1975, Neil Young, and Olivia Rodrigo are among the notable artists performing at Glastonbury this year.

Back in March, organisers confirmed their huge 2025 line-up. It came just hours after social media sleuths managed to find out who was performing and leak an unofficial poster.

Later this year, 210,000 music lovers will head to Worthy Farm in Somerset for five days, taking in all of the music as well as everything the festival site has to offer. This year, bosses have confirmed that Glastonbury will run from June 25 to June 29.

This year, tickets for Glastonbury sold out in just 35 minutes, despite nobody knowing who was performing.

According to bosses, the festival will take a break for a fallow year next year, making 2025 a memorable year for festivalgoers.

This year, The 1975, Neil Young and Olivia Rodrigo will headline. Meanwhile, Sir Rod Stewart will play the legends slot, and was the first name to be announced as part of the huge line-up. Sir Rod follows in the footsteps of the likes of Shania Twain, Kylie Minogue and Diana Ross.

Previous names that had been speculated for Glastonbury included the likes of Rihanna, Basement Jaxx, Chappel Roan and Stevie Wonder. Organisers had already announced back in January that Neil would headline the Pyramid Stage.

He had previously said that he had pulled out of the festival, which he described as a “corporate turn-off”. Days later though, Neil said that he would perform at Glastonbury, saying there had been “an error in the information received,” and his involvement was also confirmed by organisers around the same time.
