Loop earplugs joins Glastonbury 2025 Bringing Hearing Wellness and Sensory Inclusion to the UK’s Most Iconic Festival

June 25th, 2025, London, United Kingdom – Loop is proud to announce its presence at Glastonbury Festival 2025 as the official earplug and hearing protection provider, marking a significant milestone in promoting hearing wellness and accessibility at one of the world's most renowned music events.  

Over the five-day event, Loop will support hearing protection and sensory inclusion by helping both crew and crowds stay present in the noise. This partnership marks a major milestone in Loop’s mission to champion hearing health and sensory accessibility at the world’s biggest festivals and reflects Loop’s growing global presence at culture-defining events. 

As a brand built by music lovers, Loop believes no one should have to choose between protecting their hearing and living life fully. With stylish, certified earplugs designed to reduce damage without dulling the sound, Loop helps fans feel good in the crowd - and stay safe long after the last set ends. 

"Glastonbury isn’t just another music Festival. It’s one of the cultural moments of the year. This partnership is about more than protectionit's about elevating the experience. We're making hearing health part of the backstage rider. Because safeguarding sound shouldn’t be limited to artists—it should be for everyone, including the thousands who work behind the scenes. For years, earplugs were something people hid. We flipped that script. Now, people want to be seen wearing Loop at the world’s most iconic stages." says Maarten Bodewes, Co-Founder of Loop Earplugs.  

Loop will donate 5,000 units of its Experience 2 earplugs to performing artists, backstage crew, and Calm Space Tents created in collaboration with Diverse UK, as well as being available to purchase on-site throughout the Festival. Located at key points across the Festival, the Calm Spaces are designed to offer safe, low-stimulation zones for guests who need to step away from the sensory overload. The spaces are managed by autism specialists and neurodiverse volunteers, and equipped with sensory aids - including weighted blankets, dimmable lighting, and certified hearing protection from Loop.  

Certified, comfortable and style-led, Loop’s earplugs are designed for sensory support - and made for everyone. “Festivals should be for everyone, not just those who thrive in the noise. By supporting Glastonbury’s Calm Space Tents and donating thousands of earplugs to those behind the scenes, we’re making space for more people to feel comfortable, included, and connected,” says Dimitri O, Co-Founder of Loop Earplugs.  

Loop’s earplugs will also be available to purchase at nine retail locations across the festival site, including Experience 2 and Engage 2. 

  • Experience 2 (£29.95): Designed for live music, this model offers 18dB of filtered noise reduction. It softens sound without distorting it, allowing wearers to enjoy the music at a safer, more comfortable volume.  

  • Engage 2 (£29.95): Engineered to reduce social fatigue, this model lowers background noise by 16dB while keeping speech clear - ideal for bars, queues and crowd chats.  

Whether it’s protecting hearing on stage, helping neurodiverse fans feel welcome, or giving festival-goers a stylish way to protect their ears without missing the moment, Loop aims to shift festival culture and proves that sensory wellness and live events can go hand in hand. 

Loop Earplugs are available to shop via www.loopearplugs.com from £19.95.
