Charli XCX and Doechii are due to clash at Glastonbury, as the first stage details have been revealed.In a special episode of Annie Mac and Nick Grimshaw‘s podcast Sidetracked, exclusive details of some of the stage breakdowns were shared with listeners.Charli XCX will be headlining the Other Stage on the Saturday night, which is at the same time as when Doechii is headlining the West Holts Stage. “That’s quite a big clash there,” Grimshaw said on the show.“That’s good, though,” Mac replied. “Otherwise, everyone under the age of 35 would be at the Other Stage trying to see Charli, so it’s good to spread it out…that’s really thought through in terms of crowding and being able to split everyone up.”A post shared by BBC Sounds (@bbcsounds)In the podcast, Grimshaw said his theory as to why Charli XCX is billed to headline the Other Stage rather than be on an earlier slot on the Pyramid Stage is to avoid “Brat by day”, as the sun won’t set until after 9pm. “We need the strobe lighting,” he joked.Elsewhere in the episode, the pair confirmed that RAYE would be performing on the Pyramid Stage on Saturday night in the slot behind headliner Neil Young.

Elsewhere, Loyle Carner will headline the Other Stage on Friday night, with The Prodigy headlining it on Saturday.Annie Mac confirmed she will also play at Glastonbury, saying: “And I won’t leave site this year.

I haven’t stupidly put a gig in in the middle of the weekend.”The pair also discussed the other acts who are billed, including Ezra Collective, Jorja Smith, and Beth Gibbons.Both Charli XCX and Doechii have had highly successful years, with the two stars getting wins at the Grammy Awards 2025.
