Billy Idol has denied he'll be playing a secret set at Glastonbury 2025.

The world-famous Somerset Festival opens its doors this Wednesday (24th June) and it has been previously speculated that the rocker could be there.

Idol is currently in the midst of his UK & European shows and has one potential date he could appear at the event on Saturday 28th June.

The 69-year-old singer last played with punk supergroup Generation Sex at Worthy Farm in 2023 and asked if he'd return this year, he said: "Well I'd love to play there, but I don't think we're doing it. I don't think it's me anyway".

The Eyes Without A Face singer went on: "I'd love to. It's great. I enjoyed it last time. I couldn't believe it was sunny. It wasn't all muddy. It was fantastic!"

Asked about his Wembley Arena date tonight (24th June) and how it feels to be coming back to his hometown of London, he said: "Well it's just incredible. It's like a dream come true really. The audience is really great there and it's just an incredible place to play.

"The vibe is great and I always feel great there, so super looking forward to it. That's all. I can tell people. I've got a killer band, we're already played in. [...] we're ready to go, so it's like, let's rock!"
