Tonight, the hills of Worthy Farm will rumble with the raw force of electronic music — and leading the charge on the West Holts Stage are none other than Overmono, the critically acclaimed Welsh duo from Monmouthshire.
Tom and Ed Russell, brothers hailing from the quiet district of Overmonnow in Monmouth, are set to close out Sunday night at Glastonbury 2025, with a 9:45pm to 11:15pm headline set that will light up the festival’s most genre-diverse stage.
But for many festival-goers, their crowning moment comes with a bittersweet twist: Overmono’s set clashes directly with legendary rave pioneers The Prodigy, who are simultaneously headlining the Other Stage.
Two generations of rave, one difficult decision
The clash has sparked intense discussion online, with fans torn between two titans of electronic music — one an icon of the past three decades, the other a standard-bearer of the scene’s future.
“I feel like this might be the last chance to see The Prodigy headline Glasto,” one user wrote on Reddit. “But Overmono are the future. They’ve earned this.”
For Overmono, sharing a slot with a band that helped define British rave culture is a strange kind of poetic symmetry. Their sound — a deft blend of techno, UK garage, breaks, and ambient — feels like the natural evolution of what The Prodigy helped start. From firestarters to boundary-pushers, the energy endures.
A Welsh milestone on a global stage
Regardless of the clash, Overmono’s appearance tonight is a landmark not just for them — but for Welsh music as a whole.
From their quiet roots in Monmouthshire to commanding major festival stages across the world, the Russell brothers have become one of the most respected live acts in UK electronic music. Their debut album Good Lies (2023) captured global attention, and their high-octane, emotionally-charged performances have earned them accolades like DJ Mag’s Best Live Act.
“This is massive for Wales,” said BBC Radio Cymru’s Huw Stephens. “Overmono aren’t just headlining — they’re representing.”
West Holts: A cultural crossroads
The West Holts Stage is Glastonbury’s playground for eclecticism, and this year has already seen killer sets from Maribou State, Yussef Dayes, and Doechii. Overmono, though, are closing it down in style — delivering what many expect to be a euphoric finale to the weekend’s most adventurous stage.
While some fans may sprint between stages trying to catch both them and The Prodigy, those who choose to stay with Overmono can expect a set that’s as intimate as it is explosive — grounded in the duo’s deep emotional chemistry and sharpened by years of relentless evolution.
Not just the future — the now
Overmono aren’t just “ones to watch” anymore. They are here, now, headlining Glastonbury, going head-to-head with legends, and refusing to be outshone.
For fans of forward-thinking music — and especially for Welsh fans — tonight marks a turning point. From fields in Monmouthshire to the beating heart of the world’s greatest music festival, Overmono’s rise is a celebration of Welsh creativity, resilience, and rhythm.
