AMYL & THE SNIFFERS Deliver Politically Charged Set at ‘Glastonbury 2025’

Amyl & The Sniffers turned heads at Glastonbury 2025 this past weekend, unleashing one of the most politically outspoken performances of the festival. Taking over the Other Stage on Saturday afternoon, the Australian punk crew delivered their usual high-octane chaos—with an added dose of firebrand commentary on Palestine, colonialism, and Indigenous rights.

The Melbourne-based outfit, fresh off a recent appearance on ‘The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon’ where they performed their single “Tiny Bikini”, stormed through a set packed with fan favorites like “Guided By Angels”, “Hertz”, “Security”, and “Got You”, along with a few unreleased tracks and deeper cuts.

Midway through their set, vocalist Amy Taylor paused to deliver a powerful message to the crowd:

“What an honour it is to be here. And because I got that honour, I want to take the time to say something political.”

“I’m thinking about the people in Palestine. We’re from Australia, we ain’t doing jack shit, I know yours aren’t doing jack shit. I think about schooling and I think about media, and I think we don’t learn nothing about colonisation or sexual education, we don’t learn any of the right things.”

“They want us to shut the fuck up, because if we think about Palestine, then back home in Australia, we think about the Indigenous people there. And we think about the fact that us as whiteys, we’re the fucking colonisers, and that’s disgusting.”

“That’s the truth, and I thought I’d share that today. It was gonna be something way more poetic, but that’s just what I said, and it’s not perfect, but I think it’s better to say anything than to say nothing at all right now. Shit’s going down the shitter fast, and mate, we’ve got AI on the way and that’s gonna be even crazier, so buckle up bitches, shit’s about to get weird.”

The clip quickly went viral across social media, with fans applauding Taylor’s unfiltered stance and the band’s refusal to sidestep difficult conversations—even on one of the world’s biggest stages.

This Glasto appearance comes at a career-high moment for the band, who were recently announced as direct support for AC/DC’s massive 2025 Australian stadium run. That string of shows marks the legendary rockers’ long-awaited return to home soil—and a massive moment for Amyl & The Sniffers.

“AC/DC! The best rock and roll band in the world. I just can’t believe it I am so excited,” Taylor shared via Instagram Stories.
“Never ever ever would have dreamed this. Highlight of my literal life like wow can you believe it.”

From sweaty club shows to massive festival stages and now AC/DC stadium dates, Amyl & The Sniffers are making their voice—and their message—heard loud and clear.
