Doechii’s Monumental 2025 Continues with Headlining Glastonbury Festival Performance

Doechii’s incredible 2025 just keeps gaining momentum. After kicking off the year by making history as the first female rapper since Lauryn Hill in 1999 to win the Grammy Award for Best Rap Album, thanks to her critically acclaimed project Alligator Bites Never Heal, the Florida-born star has continued to dominate charts, stages, and brand campaigns.

Following the Grammy win, her single “Anxiety” soared into the Billboard Hot 100’s top 10, marking another career milestone. She also landed a high-profile partnership with Nike, appearing in a promotional campaign that celebrated women in hip-hop and sport. Her live performance schedule has been packed with appearances at various major events, but her latest achievement has put her on yet another global stage: headlining Glastonbury Festival.

Glastonbury, known as one of the world’s most iconic and longest-running music festivals, has welcomed legends like Radiohead, Adele, and Beyoncé to its stages over the years. On Saturday evening (June 28), Doechii added her name to that prestigious list with a theatrical, high-energy 45-minute set that celebrated her catalogue while paying tribute to hip-hop’s rich history.

Taking full command of the Pyramid Stage, Doechii delivered fan favorites like “Persuasive” and “Anxiety”, while also giving bold, dramatic performances of “NISSAN ALTIMA” and “DENIAL IS A RIVER.” Adding a special moment for the fans, she freestyled over Beyoncé’s “AMERICA HAS A PROBLEM,” a track from the superstar’s 2022 album Renaissance. Doechii has frequently cited Beyoncé as her dream collaboration, making the freestyle feel like both a tribute and a personal milestone.

Known for blending humor with fierce lyricism, Doechii even referenced the viral Met Gala incident, showing her signature ability to connect with audiences through both music and personality.

While Glastonbury will go down as an early career-defining moment for her, Doechii’s festival run for 2025 is far from over. She’s slated to perform at more than a dozen other festivals before the year wraps up, including Lollapalooza in August and Austin City Limits in October, where she’s listed among headliners like Sabrina Carpenter, Doja Cat, and Hozier.

Doechii’s rise this year has been nothing short of meteoric. With multiple hits, major brand deals, and now historic performances under her belt, she’s showing no signs of slowing down. Fans and industry watchers alike are eager to see where she’ll go next as she continues her unstoppable 2025 run.
