Reliving the Magic: San Remo and Block9 Release Exclusive Glastonbury 2025 DJ Sets
While the fields of Worthy Farm remain quiet this year due to the festival’s scheduled “fallow year,” the spirit of Glastonbury is very much alive. To bridge the gap during this mandatory break, the creative teams behind two of the festival’s most iconic areas-San Remo and Block9-have unveiled a treasure trove of live recordings captured during the 2025 edition.
Understanding the Glastonbury Fallow Year
Glastonbury Festival traditionally transforms the Somerset landscape into a global cultural hub every June. However, the event operates on a cyclical “fallow year” schedule, typically occurring once every five years. This essential hiatus allows the land at Worthy Farm to undergo vital ecological restoration and agricultural recovery, ensuring the site remains sustainable for future generations of festival-goers. Following the current pause, the festival is already confirmed to return in full force in 2026.
Block9 Brings the NYC Downlow and Genosys Vibes Home
Known for pushing the boundaries of immersive stage design, the Block9 collective has curated a nostalgic collection of sets that defined their 2025 programming. Fans can now revisit the high-energy atmosphere of the festival through:
- Panty Soaker Sound System: A raw, electrifying performance captured live at the legendary NYC Downlow.
- ISAbella: A masterclass in electronic curation recorded at the towering, industrial-inspired Genosys stage.
San Remo’s Curated Soundscapes
Situated in close proximity to the iconic Pyramid Stage, the San Remo area has solidified its reputation as a premier destination for forward-thinking dance music. To celebrate the festival’s legacy, they have released a diverse array of sets from last year’s lineup. Highlights from this archive include performances by:
- George Daniel
- Jamz Supernova
- Dresden (the collaborative project of Ivan Smagghe and Manfredas)
- Maribou State
Why These Archives Matter
In an era where live music consumption is increasingly digital, these releases serve as more than just audio files; they act as a sonic time capsule. For those who missed the 2025 event or simply want to recapture the euphoria of a sunrise set in Somerset, these recordings provide a vital connection to the festival experience. As the industry continues to evolve, the ability to revisit these specific performances highlights the enduring impact of Glastonbury’s diverse programming, which consistently bridges the gap between underground club culture and mainstream festival spectacle.
