In a twist that could make Glastonbury history, Hollywood star Timothée Chalamet is rumoured to be making a surprise appearance at the 2025 edition of the legendary music festival. According to reports from The Sun, the Dune actor may take to the stage for a special performance as Bob Dylan, a role he recently brought to life in the critically acclaimed biopic A Complete Unknown.
Chalamet, who received widespread praise for his portrayal of the iconic singer-songwriter in the film, is now speculated to be extending his Dylan journey from the silver screen to the stage. The report suggests that he will perform alongside the Bob Dylan tribute group Not Completely Unknown on the festival’s Saturday lineup, giving fans a rare chance to see him embody the music legend live.
The rumours have sparked a frenzy among festival-goers and Dylan fans alike, who are eager to see whether the young star can capture the magic of Dylan’s voice and presence in a live setting. However, both Glastonbury organisers and Chalamet’s representatives have remained tight-lipped, with no official confirmation of the performance at this stage.
Not Completely Unknown, the tribute group reportedly involved in the set, has built a reputation for delivering authentic renditions of Dylan’s greatest hits. If Chalamet were to join them on stage, it would be a fitting continuation of his immersion into Dylan’s world, following months of preparation for his role in the biopic.
Timothée Chalamet’s casting as Bob Dylan for A Complete Unknown was initially met with intrigue and a hint of scepticism, but the young actor quickly won over critics with his nuanced portrayal of the folk legend. His ability to capture Dylan’s enigmatic personality and distinctive voice has been widely praised, making a potential live performance at Glastonbury an even more exciting prospect.

Fans are now speculating which classic Dylan tracks Chalamet might perform if the rumours are true. Will he take on timeless anthems like "Blowin' in the Wind" or "The Times They Are A-Changin'"? Or could he surprise the crowd with some deep cuts from Dylan’s expansive discography?
As the excitement builds, all eyes are on Glastonbury’s official announcements. If Chalamet does make an appearance, it would not only be one of the festival’s most unexpected moments but could also mark the beginning of a whole new chapter in his already impressive career.
