Alanis Morissette Shines Bright with Empowering Set at Glastonbury 2025
I just have to talk about that Alanis Morissette performance at Glastonbury 2025. Honestly, it was everything you’d hope for from someone with such a legendary status, and maybe even more. Alanis took to the iconic Pyramid Stage during the festival's golden hour – the so-called “sundowner slot” – and completely owned it with a performance that reminded everyone exactly why she's remained so influential for over three decades.

Before she even stepped on stage, a short video played, giving the audience a quick reminder of her cultural and musical legacy. It was packed with heartfelt commentary from the likes of Olivia Rodrigo, Halsey, and Kelly Clarkson, emphasizing Alanis’ impact on feminist music and her firm stance on everything from anti-war messages to embracing “naturearchy” over patriarchy. A bit bold, sure – it’s not the understated British way – but it made a powerful statement: she’s not here to ask for permission. She’s here to be heard.
And heard she was. Right from the opening harmonica trill and into “One Hand in My Pocket,” she set the tone for what was clearly going to be a hit-heavy, crowd-loving set. Her voice, still rich and dynamic after all these years, soared across Worthy Farm. She didn’t need to oversell anything – the music, the message, and that unmistakable voice did all the work. You could feel the nostalgia wash over the crowd, but there was also this refreshing energy – like she wasn’t stuck in the past, but bringing those iconic songs into the now with fire and conviction.
She wasn’t overly chatty between tracks, but when she did speak, it was genuine – big smiles, a few thanks, and right back into the music. During “Right Through You,” stark statistics about global gender inequality scrolled across the backdrop, ending with a haunting question: “Why are we afraid of the divine feminine?” It was bold, reflective, and added a deeper resonance to the music.
And just when you thought the set couldn’t hit harder, the power and emotion of “You Oughta Know” blasted across the fields – as raw and confrontational as it ever was. It was one of those moments where you could tell everyone was fully present, shouting lyrics, completely engaged. Then, of course, came “Ironic,” a pure festival singalong with hands in the air, and finally “Thank You” to close it out – a gentle, sincere goodbye to an hour that felt like a gift.
This wasn’t just another Glastonbury set – this was Alanis Morissette proving that being outspoken, being emotional, and being unapologetically yourself never goes out of style. She ticked Glastonbury off her bucket list, but I think for everyone watching, it felt more like a blessing we got to witness.
