The buzz surrounding Olivia Rodrigo’s meteoric rise shows no signs of slowing, as the Filipino-American pop superstar has announced the release of her first live album, Live From Glastonbury (A BBC Recording), commemorating her historic 2025 headlining set at the iconic UK festival. The announcement, made via Rodrigo’s social media and confirmed by multiple outlets including Billboard Philippines, Consequence, and Consequence of Sound, has sent waves of excitement through her global fanbase and the wider music world.
Set for release on December 5, 2025, the album will be available on all digital streaming platforms and physical formats, including a special 2LP set pressed on exclusive magenta and periwinkle transparent vinyl. These colored vinyl editions, available for pre-order on Rodrigo’s official webstore, promise to be collector’s items, featuring never-before-seen artwork capturing the energy and spectacle of her Glastonbury performance. According to Billboard Philippines, the package includes two colored discs housed in a jacket with exclusive live set photography.
The twenty-track album documents Rodrigo’s entire Glastonbury set, which marked her second appearance at the legendary English festival and arrived in support of her Grammy-nominated sophomore album, GUTS. The performance, held in front of a massive festival audience, showcased Rodrigo’s chart-topping hits from both SOUR and GUTS, including fan favorites like “Drivers License,” “Vampire,” “Good 4 U,” and “Deja Vu.”
But what truly sets this live album apart is its high-profile collaboration with The Cure’s frontman, Robert Smith. Rodrigo and Smith joined forces on stage for stirring renditions of The Cure classics “Friday I’m In Love” and “Just Like Heaven.” These duets, now immortalized on the album, have already been released as advance singles, accompanied by professionally shot performance videos that have racked up millions of views online. As reported by Consequence and Billboard Philippines, 100% of Rodrigo’s net proceeds from the sales of these two tracks will benefit Doctors Without Borders, an international medical humanitarian organization. The charitable gesture adds another layer of meaning to the release, blending artistry with activism.
Rodrigo herself expressed her excitement and disbelief about the collaboration on social media, exclaiming, “i’m soooo excited to announce u can preorder ‘Live From Glastonbury (a BBC recording)’ on vinyl in my store!! it also serves as proof to me that performing ‘Friday I’m In Love’ and ‘Just Like Heaven’ with The Cure’s Robert Smith wasn’t a dream.” Her enthusiasm has been echoed by fans and critics alike, who have praised the emotional resonance and cross-generational appeal of the performances.

The Glastonbury live album is just the latest in a string of major milestones for Rodrigo. Fresh off the conclusion of her global GUTS Tour—which saw her headline festivals like Governors Ball and Lollapalooza, and even included a surprise guest performance from David Byrne—Rodrigo has cemented her status as one of the music industry’s brightest talents. Her tour spanned 100 sold-out headline shows in 64 cities across more than 21 countries, plus 18 festival headlining slots, reaching 75 cities, 27 countries, and five continents. According to Billboard Philippines, the Philippine leg of the tour was particularly special, with Rodrigo selling out the 55,000-capacity Philippine Arena and donating all net ticket proceeds to Jhpiego Philippines, a charity providing medical services to women and girls.
Charitable giving has become a hallmark of Rodrigo’s career. Over two million dollars from her tour’s net proceeds were donated globally through her Fund 4 Good initiative, which supports community-based nonprofits focused on girls’ education, reproductive rights, and the prevention of gender-based violence. This commitment to philanthropy underscores Rodrigo’s desire to use her platform for positive change.
Alongside the live album, Rodrigo recently released the GUTS Tour Book, a 136-page hardcover volume offering fans a behind-the-scenes look at her record-shattering tour. The book features exclusive photos, a comprehensive timeline, setlists, details on stage and video design, and a personal note from Rodrigo herself. Exclusive extras include a double-sided world tour fold-out poster, trading cards, and sticker sheets, making it a must-have for dedicated fans.
Rodrigo’s chart dominance is equally impressive. Her debut album SOUR and its follow-up GUTS both debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, an achievement that made her the first female artist in nearly a decade to see her first two albums launch atop the chart. The singles “Vampire,” “Drivers License,” and “Good 4 U” all reached No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, with GUTS also topping album charts in over 13 countries, including the UK. In fact, all 11 remaining tracks from GUTS charted in the top 40 of the Hot 100, according to Consequence of Sound.
With Live From Glastonbury (A BBC Recording) set for a December 5 release, anticipation is running high. The album not only captures a career-defining performance but also highlights Rodrigo’s commitment to social causes and her ability to unite generations of music lovers. As fans count down the days, Rodrigo’s star continues to shine ever brighter, proving that her Glastonbury set—and this live album—are anything but a dream.
