Glastonbury 2025: Watch Noah Kahan perform ‘Stick Season’ on the Pyramid Stage
Though it was the first time Noah Kahan played Glastonbury Festival, his Sunday evening set at the Pyramid Stage wowed the crowd, who sang along to his hit ‘Stick Season’ as if he were a Worthy Farm regular.
Though the artist has previously stated that he has impostor syndrome and opened up about struggling to find his place in the industry after gaining such rapid attention, he looked at home on the big stage.
“And I love Vermont, but it’s the season of the sticks, and I saw your mom, she forgot that I existed!” the crowd sang with him, hitting every queue as he wielded the guitar gently, gracefully, and with undying gratitude.
Stick Season is also the name of his third studio album, released in 2022 by Mercury Records and Republic Records. The album’s popularity on platforms like TikTok and its chart success, including a UK number one for ‘Stick Season’, propelled him into the public eye.
Kahan has been humble about his experience so far, telling The Guardian previously, “How am I supposed to pretend that I’m sitting in my dad’s house wishing I could get out of there? I’m getting hair and makeup done and someone’s handed me a coffee. I don’t think I’m living a very relatable experience to a lot of people.”
The set is one of Kahan’s biggest, as he followed Rod Stewart dancing despite his age, with Nile Rodgers following fittingly with a tight set. After Kahan, Olivia Rodrigo will belt the weekend away with her anthemic indie-pop ballads, such as ‘Deja Vu’ and ‘Get Him Back’. Kahan also has a huge headline date at BST Hyde Park planned next week on July 4th.
At Worthy Farm, Friday night saw The 1975 headline the Pyramid Stage and Loyle Carner headline the Other Stage. On Saturday night, Charli XCX, Neil Young, Scissor Sisters and Doechii headlined each of the main stages.
