This financial institution vacation weekend is likely one of the final large dates within the UK summer time pageant calendar, with Studying and Leeds, All Factors East and Creamfields North anticipated to attract big crowds.
With massive attendance numbers at festivals come overloaded cell phone networks, leading to pals shedding contact with each other and fogeys being unable to contact their youngsters on their first large weekend away at Studying and Leeds, lengthy a bacchanalian ceremony of passage for post-results GCSE and A-level college students.
These breakdowns in communication have turn out to be as a lot a fixture of UK festivals as fried halloumi and customized flags. Why, in an age of 4G and, more and more, 5G, is that this nonetheless taking place?
“The reason being merely mobile capability,” says Izzat Darwazeh, a professor of communications engineering at UCL. “Persons are demanding extra of their telephones now and need these items to be speedy. So the demand on bandwidth or capability turns into a lot increased.”
Networks work on a collection of cells over a particular space, and every cell works on a unique frequency to neighbouring cells: think about a honeycomb of self-contained pods. If there are too many telephones in a cell, it will get overloaded. “The capability per cell is proscribed,” says Darwazeh. “You possibly can double or triple the capability, however you’ll be able to’t enhance it a thousand instances.” And since our bodies take in cell alerts, your telephone connection turns into exponentially weaker the extra individuals you might be round, Darwazeh explains.
To treatment the difficulty, additional masts will be quickly positioned the place there’s biggest demand. Alex Jackman, a community communications at BT Group, says: “At someplace like Glastonbury, you might be speaking about dozens of levels, so that you prioritise the important thing areas the place individuals want sign. Every deployment that goes into the festivals is bespoke, based mostly on the place that protection is required.”
Glastonbury is likely one of the few main festivals with an “official connectivity companion” (beforehand EE, now Vodafone), whereas smaller unbiased festivals could also be ideologically in opposition to such cosying as much as a giant cell community. Native residents could oppose the set up of 5G masts.
Paul Kells, the director of community, technique and engineering at Virgin Media O2, says COW (cells on wheels) are among the many finest technological solutions right here. “They’re cell cell towers that may be transported on vans or trailers to supply short-term or enhanced cell protection in particular places,” he says. “These are efficient as they’re designed for fast setup and takedown.”
Given the fee implications, cell networks will rigorously select the occasions to which they bring about such options. Darwazeh says: “Slightly little bit of funding from these organisers can assure that there’s good protection, however I don’t suppose there’s a lot incentive for the cell operators to do that.”
Topography and never being within the sightline of everlasting masts, for instance at a pageant website surrounded by mountains, may severely restrict service.
Polly Barker, the pinnacle of manufacturing at Finish of the Highway in rural Dorset, says the pageant prioritises bodily noticeboards with up-to-date info as organisers are conscious that desperately oversubscribed networks imply social media posts are an inefficient communication instrument. “It’s exhausting to present individuals helpful updates concerning the pageant so now we have good assembly factors,” she says. “We all the time advise individuals to decide on assembly factors if they’ll’t communicate to one another on their telephones.”
The collection of one-day occasions that happen within the capital over the summer time – BST in Hyde Park, All Factors East in Victoria Park and Wi-fi at Finsbury Park – are tormented by their very own particular points, whereas Wembley has no drawback coping with crowds of 80,000 as a result of it makes use of a DAS (distributed antenna system) operated by the BT-owned EE.
“It’s infrastructure constructed inside and across the stadium and you’ll give capability to different networks to make use of,” says Jackman. “Whereas Hyde Park is served by three or 4 everlasting websites which can be on high of the buildings that encompass it. The everlasting websites aren’t constructed to deal with the extra 50,000 people who flip up at BST reveals on just a few nights of the 12 months.”
Whereas pageant employees and crew at weekend and one-day occasions usually have entry to wifi hotspots, making these out there throughout a pageant website is uneconomical and impractical. “Deploying many wifi antennas in a reside construct atmosphere is sophisticated as there are such a lot of different actions happening, from vendor setups, fencing and levels being constructed,” says Kells. “The broader the wifi protection, the extra complicated the construct plan.”
Darwazeh says that as 5G turns into extra broadly adopted, the densification of cells – ie extra particular person cells in an space coated by one community – means they may be capable of deal with extra individuals and telephones, and the pressure on the community will turn out to be much less pronounced. “A cell may need solely 30 individuals, so the capability can turn out to be very excessive,” he says. “The holy grail in cell know-how is to have one cell per person. However we’re 30 years away from this.”
When 6G rolls out in 2030, a lot of at this time’s issues will evaporate. However person behaviour will transfer in lockstep, with extra data-heavy content material in larger decision being shared or uploaded to social platforms. Know-how will nonetheless be enjoying catchup.
Barker suggests extra individuals ought to change off for a pageant, and viewers surveys by Finish of the Highway discovered that attenders didn’t need wifi hotspots and extra masts. “Would you like your viewers to hook up with the skin world?” she asks. “Is it really nicer that they’re within the subject and never bothered by receiving emails?”
For now, these going to festivals must make peace with the truth that cell reception will likely be as a lot a fitful dividend as sunny climate.
The nationwide park during which it takes place has modified title to Bannau Brycheiniog, however 21 years in, most else about Green Man stays reassuringly the identical. Delicate evolution, not revolution, has been the regular success of this 25,000 capability all-ages celebration of musical eclecticism and reverence in nature: it’s virtually as a lot part of the Powys panorama because the hovering mountains that wrap the positioning of their misty embrace.
Inexperienced Man tickets bought out virtually instantly this 12 months earlier than any artists have been even introduced – no imply feat in tight financial instances. There’s no denying that costs have crept upwards sharply (£6.50 a pint of Growler). But Inexperienced Man’s core values maintain sturdy. Sponsorship is eschewed. Sustainability, inclusivity (the lineup is gender balanced; two of the three main-stage headliners are feminine) and laid-back good vibes reign. Rising artists, zeitgeisty heavy hitters and heritage heroes alike are platformed to usually a lot larger crowds than they’d usually attain, and normally seize their second.
Nevertheless, on Friday night time, not ponchos, nor 6 Music Dad caps nor the do-it-yourself variations of headliners Devo’s trademark power dome hats can defy the lashing rain. Akron, Ohio’s boiler-suited Spudboys are on a goodbye tour and show superb for Inexperienced Man with their litany of jittery, unbelievable post-punk hits together with Whip It and a wickedly shredded cowl of the Rolling Stones’ (I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction. In what could lend credence to Devo’s pet concept about of the devolution of mankind, people dance madly within the muck. Earlier on the identical stage, in a Friday of farewells, psychedelic jazz explorers the Comet is Coming performed one in every of their final ever exhibits, sending the gang into equally soggy raptures.
Self Esteem AKA Rebecca Lucy Taylor. {Photograph}: Parri Thomas
American alt-folk singer-songwriter Julie Byrne’s magnificent new album The Better Wings is a triumph of grace and hope towards the chances. The solar makes its immaculately timed entrance on Saturday as she begins to sing her beautiful synth-dappled hymns of affection and loss. Later, Arizonan Americana heartbreaker Courtney Marie Andrews holds a hushed crowd within the palm of her hand, regardless of her and her band being pressured to busk it on borrowed devices after dropping their gear in a frantic sprint to Wales. “I’ve been sporting the identical garments for 72 hours!” Andrews admits. The sluggish drama of sundown is matched by Irish folks radicals Lankum’s droning Celt-goth waves of dread and bliss.
“I’m going to go away for a 12 months to do new issues, ta ra!” pronounces power-suited Rebecca Lucy Taylor AKA Self Esteem, as she brings down the curtain on her breakout period as Britain’s most righteous new pop famous person. How apt that it ought to finish right here, the place touring for her acclaimed second album Prioritise Pleasure started with a bang in 2021 within the Far Out tent. Taylor’s reference to the competition goes again a lot additional nonetheless, to her earlier band Gradual Membership. To see her elevated to predominant stage Saturday night time headliner, main ecstatic dances and howling, cathartic singalongs, is an all-time Inexperienced Man excessive.
Simply as Self Esteem’s profession took root right here so too may that of others to look on smaller phases throughout the weekend. Homegrown up-and-comers from the musical hotbed of Monmouthshire the Bug Membership are a fizzing reminder of how a lot enjoyable rock’n’roll may be once you maintain it humorous and easy, dummy. The intriguingly named Uh conflict dreamy digital textures with acid home squelch and blasts of punky dissonance. Indie buzz band almost definitely to “do a Moist Leg”, the Final Dinner Get together, pull most likely the largest crowd the rising stage has ever seen (proof suggests they’ve already risen).

By Sunday, the bushes have turn out to be shelter from the beating solar, not the rain. An impressed back-to-back pairing within the packed Far Out stage begins with LA’s Sudan Archives. All tartan trews and underboob, fiddling rapper Brittney Denise Parks licks the microphone, wields her bow like a sword and proclaims a love of Irish jigs. Her attractive and mildly bonkers power is totally uncategorisable. Ditto Edinburgh’s Younger Fathers. One of the vital distinctive and thrilling stay bands of their period maintain ratcheting up the joy and the stress, their complement now at seven members who stomp and weave amongst each other on a theatrically up-lit stage, dead-eying the gang as synths blare like warning sirens.
A straighter however equally becoming finale on the Mountain Stage are Swedish country-pop sisters First Support Equipment. Rhinestone cowgirl Johanna Söderberg’s outfit glitters within the lights, as she and sibling Klara sing the eternally beautiful Emmylou – voices blended in perfection, drifting prettily to the moon as quickly shall the inexperienced man’s embers.

It’s our first time witdaughter, buter however she’s having a good time – she had quite a lot of enjoyable watching Mike Skinner play on Thursday evening.
This 12 months’s Glastonbury pageant web site appeared to be as awash with wild hypothesis as ever. Sunday’s headliner Elton John would supposedly be performing with particular visitor Britney Spears – for some purpose, a submit on Spears’s Instagram account that includes {a photograph} of a segmented apple was held up as incontrovertible proof that she was boarding a Somerset-bound helicopter. Others had been satisfied that Elton was going to deliver on Harry Types: after final 12 months, when you possibly can barely stroll a number of ft with out listening to somebody sagely informing another person that Types was undoubtedly going to show up on stage with Paul McCartney, or Billie Eilish, or Kendrick Lamar, or maybe dishing up pad thai in a meals stall simply south of the Different stage, the previous One Course heart-throb now seems to be a everlasting fixture of the Glasto hearsay mill. Most lurid of all, there have been those that insisted that the ultimate British present of John’s record-breaking farewell tour was going to be enlivened by the spectral look of a hologram of the late George Michael.
Nonetheless, what was presupposed to be the weekend’s largest shock turned out to be its worst-kept secret. Tales that the mysterious band who seem on Friday afternoon’s Pyramid stage invoice because the Churnups are literally Blur or Pulp – two Britpop heroes presently reformed and taking part in reveals – have lengthy died out: everybody appears to know it is actually Foo Fighters, taking part in kind of the identical slot on the pageant as they did 25 years in the past, after they had been making their Glastonbury debut. Nonetheless, the viewers gamely play alongside, roaring as if it’s an unimaginable and welcome revelation when the Churnups’ brand vanishes from the stage-side screens and is changed by that of Dave Grohl and co.

Foregone conclusion or not, theres a real sense of pleasure about their hour-long efficiency. Foo Fighters’ latest albums have arrived with an accompanying sense of obligation, as if they’ve been made merely to present the band an excuse to proceed touring with out slipping into the “heritage rock” class, stuffed with songs designed to tolerably plug the gaps between the hits in live performance. Nonetheless, this 12 months’s But Here We Are – their first album for the reason that 2022 dying of drummer Taylor Hawkins – felt charged with a recent sense of objective and power, as does their Glastonbury set. The band actually run on stage, already taking part in their guitars; as they cost by All My Life and a model of 2020’s No Son of Mine that comes interpolated with the riffs of Black Sabbath’s Paranoid and Metallica’s Enter Sandman, they sound extra uncooked and important than any artists rightfully ought to 28 years into their profession. Grohl’s daughter Violet makes a short look on vocals – impressively, she’s the very mannequin of gum-chewing nonchalance in entrance of tens of 1000’s of individuals – however probably the most hanging factor about their efficiency is how relaxed the songs sound, prolonged with prolonged solos and spectacular fills from Hawkins’ alternative, Josh Freese. Nonetheless terrible the circumstances main as much as their most up-to-date album, they sound like a band with one thing to show, who’re having fun with themselves enormously within the technique of proving it.
Glastonbury is famously eclectic, its sheer scale and plethora of levels enabling it to be all issues to all individuals: that is an occasion at which you’ll kickstart your Saturday morning by watching Rick Astley performing AC/DC covers whereas taking part in the drums, the Unthanks essaying trad arr people, New York alt-disco trio Say She She adopted by veteran Congolese soukous musician Kanda Bongo Man, or certainly by heading as much as the Park stage to soak up post-minimalist composer Max Richter accompanied by a string quartet and Tilda Swinton, studying the spoken phrase passages from his 2003 suite The Blue Notebooks.

Even so, the sense that the pageant is now actively attempting to court docket two totally different generations without delay feels very pronounced on the 2 essential levels. On Friday afternoon, the Lightning Seeds lead a nostalgic singalong by Three Lions, earlier than being changed on the Different stage by Carly Rae Jepsen, resplendent in a pink trouser go well with, belting out the dance-pop of Name Me Perhaps and I Actually Like You from atop a platform draped with gold lamé. Jepsen is held to be one among pop’s nice mysteries: since her 2015 breakthrough Emotion, her albums have been rapturously acquired by critics – she’s very a lot a poster lady for the influential pressure of music criticism generally known as “poptimism”, a response towards rock’s dominance of the music press – however have constantly underperformed commercially. Her Glastonbury set offers a sign of what the difficulty may be, past the truth that individuals who purchase pop albums couldn’t give a monkey’s what music critics say about something. Jepsen is infectiously enthusiastic – working from the stage to press the flesh with the entrance rows, earlier than realising she’s not going to make it again to the stage in time for the beginning of the following music – however she isn’t a vastly charismatic performer: her songs are nice, however no matter ingredient she has which may set heraside from the serried ranks of pop vocalists isn’t apparent. Nonetheless, if it’s charisma you’re after, Sharleen Spiteri has it in abundance throughout Texas’s parallel set on the Pyramid stage: there’s something vastly participating in regards to the gulf between the honeyed sweetness of her singing throughout Summer season Solar, and her Glasgow-accented earthiness between songs, berating the group for his or her “shit dad dancing”.
Producing mass euphoria … Fred Once more on the Different stage. {Photograph}: Maja Smiejkowska/Shutterstock
The duty of following Foo Fighters hangs heavy over Royal Blood, who carry out to a considerably smaller crowd than you may anticipate of a band second from prime of the invoice on the Pyramid stage. You get the sensation individuals have had their fill of arduous rock and headed off to listen to one thing totally different. Definitely, the group that assembles on the Different stage for dance auteur Fred Once more suggests so. There are such a lot of festivalgoers there that queues kind simply to get into the sector, a state of affairs that appears to render Fred Once more himself nearly speechless: every time he makes an attempt to speak to the viewers, his voice dissolves into disbelieving giggles. However, watching him, you’ll be able to completely perceive his reputation: his sound attracts on Burial-esque dubstep, grime – Rumble options MC Flowdan – and home, neatly tied up with a eager pop sensibility. You could possibly argue that the tip result’s somewhat depthless – there’s a one-size-fits-all high quality to the vocal samples he makes use of, which are likely to non-specific evocations of obscure melancholy (“pull me out of this”,“the night time is darkish”), however that appears like quibbling within the face of its skill to generate mass euphoria, notably this night, the place it suits the second completely. It seems that a variety of these current are utilizing his set as a sort of aperitif earlier than hurling themselves into a night of dance tents and altered states, a job for which it’s completely suited: it’s music that carries a way of anticipation – the promise of the night time, should you like – inside its textures.
Arctic Monkeys’ headlining Pyramid stage set presents one thing of a conundrum. They’re most likely the largest different rock band in Britain, however, judging by the albums chart, their mass reputation rests on two albums, their 2006 debut and 2013’s muscular, hard-rock influenced AM: definitely, there have been fewer takers for the extra expansive and serpentine sound of the newer Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino and The Car, albums which additionally deal largely in slow-paced atmospherics. The apparent factor to do when confronted with an enormous pageant crowd can be to lean closely on their largest sellers, however a band who referred to as their debut album Whatever You Say I Am, That’s What I’m Not had been maybe by no means prone to take the plain, crowd-pleasing possibility. They open with The Automotive’s brooding Sculptures of Something Goes, play No matter You Say I Am …’s Mardy Bum at funereal tempo, dramatically rearrange 505 – an enormous viral hit on TikTok that one suspects launched them to a youthful viewers – throw in occasional songs from AM, then dissipate the joy they generate with the following monitor. It’s a state of affairs compounded by the truth that frontman Alex Turner inhabits a personality on stage – a sort of parodic model of an oily cabaret crooner. You possibly can perceive why he does it, and the band’s diehard followers find it irresistible, but it surely’s arduous to generate a rapport with a broader viewers in the event that they aren’t in on the joke, if every thing you say to them sounds sarcastic: he even has a manner of claiming thanks that sounds prefer it’s obtained inverted commas round it.

The set peters out relatively than ends explosively – an prolonged model of The Automotive’s Physique Paint – however by then, a major chunk of the group have drifted off: for all Glastonbury’s popularity for bountiful good vibes, there’s a sure no-thanks brutality to audiences right here, borne out by the truth that there’s at all times one thing else to go and see. It’s arduous to work out whether or not to applaud the band for bullishly sticking to their weapons and doing issues their manner, or see it as a missed alternative: on social media, it provokes a debate that rages into the night time.
Saturday’s invoice seems like such a humiliation of riches, it’s arduous to work out a path by it: you’re going to overlook one thing you wish to see. There’s a powerful UK rap presence on each essential levels. It could take a reasonably mammoth effort to dislike the cheeky shtick of Manchester’s Aitch – he arranges a moshpit within the crowd and performs My G, a music devoted to his sister, who has Down’s syndrome, that includes a pattern of Ed Sheeran, then follows it with the phrases “however let’s not get tender and nostalgic, let’s go fucking psychological as an alternative”, then brings on singer Anne-Marie to carry out their hit Psycho in character as a warring couple. Central Cee, in the meantime, is each a lavishly gifted rapper, able to giving drill a pop sheen with out denuding it of its edge – a vastly spectacular feat – and liable for maybe the flat-out weirdest second of the weekend, when he elects to carry out his present No 1 hit Sprinter not simply within the firm of visitor star Dave, however a profoundly nonplussed-looking child (the identical child, apparently, that options within the music’s video).
Astonishing energy … Raye on the Pyramid stage on Saturday. {Photograph}: Dave Hogan/Hogan Media/Shutterstock
Pop star Raye can rap, too, though your consideration is grabbed extra by the astonishing energy of her voice – she’s emotive and easy, by no means descending into showy oversinging – and her simple Croydon-accented attraction on stage. “Courting rappers,” she advises, “I wouldn’t advocate it.” She’s additionally blessed with a plethora of incredible, hard-hitting songs that act as a sort of diary, detailing the pitfalls that await a younger lady within the music enterprise, from sexually predatory producers to unsympathetic document labels to substance abuse. A 12 months in the past, she had been kind of written off by her label, she explains, and now she’s holding a sizeable Glastonbury crowd rapt, investing Ice Cream Man with such power that she appears to be struggling to not cry as she sings. For the extra nostalgically minded, there’s punk supergroup Technology Intercourse blazing their manner by a set of Intercourse Pistols and Technology X classics on the Different stage – “I’m at a celebration at Stonehenge later, I’m gonna get fucked up tonight,” presents the surprisingly elocuted voice of Billy Idol as a parting shot – whereas up on the Woodsies’ stage, Rick Astley – him once more – is performing a set of songs by the Smiths accompanied by indie band Blossoms. The response is instant euphoria, a mass singalong of such quantity that it threatens to drown Astley out totally, a way that he’s not taking part in a gig a lot as performing a public service in reclaiming the enjoyment of the Smiths’ again catalogue for anybody delay by some of the more troubling pronouncements from the band’s former lead singer. He additionally seems as if he’s having the time of his life doing it: stopping the units to drink “a snifter” along with his backing band, actually miming hanging somebody throughout Panic, flailing the microphone lead round in an affectionate impersonation of Morrissey. The truth that there’s an infinite inflatable sausage being batted across the crowd – one thing you observed would trigger the notoriously meat-opposing Morrissey to desert the gig at a stroke – solely appears so as to add to the dizzy enjoyment.
An explosion of elation … Lizzo on the Pyramid stage. {Photograph}: Jonny Weeks/The Guardian
There’s additionally dizzy enjoyment on the Pyramid stage, courtesy of Lizzo, who seems unimaginable in a succession of catsuits, surrounded by plus-sized dancers and an all-female band – referred to as, magnificently, the Lizzbians – her face a continuously shifting mass of stagey expressions. You could possibly, should you wished, take a cynical perspective to the way in which she continuously underlines her message of self-love – and a extra cynical perspective nonetheless to the truth that she begins hawking her shapewear vary, Yitty, between songs – however her efficiency is such an explosion of elation, stuffed with wit and power and hooky tunes, that you simply don’t actually really feel like taking her to activity over any of it.
Maybe Lizzo and Astley’s good humour is infectious: the large shock about Guns N’ Roses’ headlining performance is how well mannered Axl Rose – as soon as the dwelling embodiment of shows-starting-hours-late and litigious dangerous perspective – is. Their efficiency begins bang on time (no such luck for Lana Del Rey followers, who wait half an hour for the singer to point out up on the Different stage and see her set lower quick by eight songs consequently). “You had a great day?” he asks the viewers, solicitously. “Glad to listen to it.”

If Rose’s falsetto is a bit more ragged now than it was within the late 80s, he can nonetheless hit the excessive notes, whereas the band’s appealingly unfastened stew of Stones-y slide guitar, metallic edge and punk insolence – their model of Again on the Farm is presumably the primary time a music by second-wave Brit punk band UK Subs has boomed forth from the Pyramid stage – underlines why they had been so profitable within the first place. Their set not solely picks its manner by their again catalogue, it pays homage to their influences, sartorially and musically: bassist Duff McKagan sports activities a leather-based vest with the emblem of the debut album by Johnny Thunders’ Heartbreakers; in addition to the UK Subs, there are covers of the Stooges’ TV Eye and snatches of Jimi Hendrix and Alice Cooper labored into their very own songs. It ends with a pile-up of genuine classics – November Rain, Night time Prepare, Paradise Metropolis, the latter that includes Dave Grohl, beaming like a person eager to recommend that the well-known feud between Weapons N’ Roses and Nirvana was nothing to do with him. “What a beautiful night,” presents Axl Rose, like a person taking his go away from a cocktail party: unexpectedly charming to the final.
Tright here have been few units at this yr’s Glastonbury festival extra a Inicipated than Lana Del Rey’s Saturday evening Different stage headline slot. It’s been almost 10 years for the reason that cult American singer-songwriter final performed on Worthy Farm; in that point, she’s launched six albums a At established herself as one in all pop music’s biggest dwelling songwriters, interval – a daring a At experime Inal musician whose renown solely appears to develop as her music turns into extra i Inrospective a At self-refere Inial. Her newest document, Did You Know That There’s a Tunnel U Ater Ocean Blvd, is already one of many yr’s most acclaimed, a At one of many strangest pop information to be launched in rece In reminiscence: throughout the sprawling, conceptually dense album, Del Rey samples herself thrice, collaborates with “fetish rapper” Tommy Genesis, a At, for the primary time in her profession, writes brazenly about her household a At private historical past.
On the time of writing, Lana is the twenty seventh most streamed musician on the earth on Spotify – an impossibly big feat, given how idiosyncratic, a At downright a Ini-pop, her imaginative and prescient of pop music is. Whereas Del Rey will in all probability by no means be performed on pop radio, her followers are devoutly loyal – extra so, maybe, than the followers of many different pop stars. They show their devotion on the e At of Del Rey’s set: after strolling on stage half-hour late, her sou At is minimize at midnight, after a raucous, exhilaratingly dense-sou Ating re Atition of the 2017 track White Mustang. Del Rey pleads with numerous stage managers because the garga Inuan Different stage crowd watch on, aghast; she is eve Inually escorted offstage, a On the crew packing up her gear are met with Boldatic, resou Ating boos.

A At you may u Atersta At why: the hour of Del Rey’s set that she is in a position to carry out is a completely ripper tour by way of her discography, together with i Inense a At psychedelic takes on tUltraviolet14 fan-favourite Ultraviolence, a wistful re Atition of the title monitor from 2019’s generation-defining Norman Fucking Rockwell, a At rapturously-received performances of songs from her 2012 debut Born to Die.

Tuareg rockers Tinariwen have spent the past 44 years honing their own blend of blues and Saharan desert folk, all unified by a distinctly intricate, finger-picking style of electric guitar playing. Theirs is a hypnotic, cyclical melody that envelops in its percussive rounds – drawing in heatstroked crowds from the punishing sunshine to the cool shadows cast by the Park stage on Saturday evening.
Dressed in the airy, silken shapes of their trademark robes, founding member Ibrahim Ag Alhabib delivers a rousing hour-long set with his five-piece band. Opening in a mid-tempo with an acoustic 12-string guitar, Alhabib soon picks up the pace, wielding his electric guitar and getting the crowd bouncing along to the swirling eddies of their polyrhythms by the second number. The pace builds gently throughout the set; between entreaties of “Hi, is it ok?” from band members, the crowd sway faster and faster, eventually reaching a euphoric mini-mosh pit on the hand-clapped rhythm of Chaghaybou.
This may be music rooted in Tuareg tradition but it also includes everything from the shades of bluegrass in their frenetic chromaticism to Jimi Hendrix-esque distortion on the chugging Tamatant Tilay, and even a brief foray into disco courtesy of a solo by bass player Eyadou Ag Leche. Whatever the musical elements, Tinariwen are a joyous experience, one that keeps the all-ages crowd smiling. This is exactly the type of set that Glastonbury, and the Park stage in particular, were built for: people celebrating and welcoming a musical heritage they would never otherwise experience.

Laura has published her four-star review of Lewis Capaldi’s highly emotional performance on the Pyramid stage. A brief flavour:
“Capaldi doesn’t mention his recent mental ill health until the end of the set, but it very quickly becomes obvious that the audience are keenly aware of his situation and determined to buoy him at every possible opportunity … it’s palpable how much the crowd want him to know that he’s OK, it’s all OK, he is loved.”

It’s baking hot at Glasto today so when Jacob Collier bounds on to the stage dressed in the most violently colourful outfit imaginable, shrieking wildly at the crowd, you’re tempted to write him off as a figment of your heatstroke-addled imagination. But no, Collier is real and he is A LOT.
Extremely talented and extremely happy for everyone to know it, he uses this set as an opportunity to show off his capability with every instrument he can get his hands on: only the triangle mercifully remains unplayed by the end. There are some genuinely impressive moments here, and a cover of Can’t Help Falling in Love With You on which he modulates his voice into a rainbow of astonishingly close harmonies, has audience jaws dropping.
The problem with Collier, as plenty of people have pointed out, is that as talented as he is, he tends to use his powers for, if not evil so much, then at least for beigeness. So much of the trickery on show here – the quarter-tones, the syncopation, the clever call-and-response vocals – seems to be in service of curiously conservative compositions: by-the-numbers jazz, funk and soul. There are enough bells and whistles to keep the masses entertained, but if Collier could make his songwriting as riotously original as his outfits, then he’d really be on to something.

A big crowd is sheltering from the sun in the Acoustic tent this afternoon, and getting serenaded by one of the UK’s most prolific folk musicians. Thompson, clad as ever in a black beret with accompanying black denim, draws from 18 (!) solo albums as well as his band Fairport Convention’s oeuvre. He opens with the bluesy, beautiful If I Could Live My Life Again, sounding in extraordinarily fine voice at 74. Genesis Hall is next, and the crowd are appropriately rapt.
It’s just him and a beautiful, bright-sounding acoustic guitar. He plays so well that you can’t take your eyes off his picking hand, as you try to figure out how he’s making the sound of three guitars come out of one. He is one of the most stunningly gifted guitarists you’ll ever see live, and his dextrously fingerpicked mid-song diversions prompt claps and whoops from a crowd that is otherwise quietly reverent. He’s also wonderfully personable on stage, telling the stories behind the songs, introducing the gorgeous Johnny’s Far Away as a “cruise ship sea shanty” and inviting us to sing along, which the audience gamely does.
When he brings on Zara Phillips (no, not that one) to accompany him halfway through the set, the addition of honey-sweet harmonies elevates the music even further, from 1982’s searching Wall of Death to a mournful travelling-bard song from his most recent album, Singapore Sadie.
I can’t get over how bell-bright his guitar sounds – nor how full his voice is, only briefly struggling on the occasional shoutier line. He finishes with a punchy double, first the “anthem of social distancing” Keep Your Distance (actually from 1991, so impressively prescient), and then his rather more uplifting hit I Want to See the Bright Lights Tonight, which has everyone singing along for a final time before we’re sent back out into the slowly abating evening heat.

The Lonely Hearts Club, as well as having the loveliest distressed art deco staging in all of Glastonbury, is doing a nice line in rising UK rappers this year. A good thing too as they seem slightly underrepresented elsewhere at the fest. West London star Finn Foxell is the latest up-and-comer to take a spot under the 1920s cinema-style awning and sets a high bar for the rest of the pack to meet in terms of pure exuberance, gathering a sizeable crowd in the process. While much of this year’s crop are leaning into drill and trap, Foxell instead takes the scratchy, fidgety work of Jamie T and Slowthai his major influence. But on tracks like Red and Blue he proves just as adept at making gliding, soulful hip-hop. It’s all delivered with a buoyant, almost manic stage presence. (“Can you make some noise for me if you’re happy to be alive”, he wails slightly desperately at one point.) Even so, it’s impossible to take your eyes off him.

He sounds sensible, however all this infinite chat about getting cash and “hitting it from the again” has bought to get tiring finally, so when he pulls on a Man United high (with Massive Shell) on the again, jokes that he’ll get a bloke in entrance carrying a Man Metropolis shirt eliminated, and will get right down to the extra private stuff – Near Residence and In Disguise, plus a wonky but well-intended interlude of Wonderwall – it’s a pleasant counterbalance.

The upsettingly named Technology Intercourse – the Intercourse Pistols and Technology X supergroup, fashioned of singer Billy Idol, bassist Tony James, guitarist Steve Jones and drummer Paul Cook dinner – take the Different stage at a really respectable time, with the solar excessive. Regardless of the warmth, 67-year-old Idol is in full punk getup, together with bleach blond mohawk, padlock necklace and studded leather-based jacket – he should be boiling – but it surely’s clear from the selection of opener, the Intercourse Pistols basic Fairly Vacant, that Gen Intercourse is right here to faithfully reproduce the punk-rock spirit.
If which means a near-septuagenarian donning his dog-collar in 30-degree warmth, so be it. It’s surprisingly (no less than for me) fulfilling to see these ageing rockers chugging by way of the facility chords to requirements like Black Leather-based (“I feel Weapons N’ Roses do that one too,” says Idol) however the grainy footage of punk’s heyday taking part in behind them is maybe a mistake, focusing the viewers on the previous moderately than the efficiency occurring now. When Idol sings Scorching within the Metropolis, there’s a wistful nostalgia to it that makes a distinct type of sense in his superior years now; a picture of his younger self blown up large behind him is slightly on-the-nose.
It’s true that on the entire there’s far more well mannered toetapping from the group than headbanging – it may nicely be simply too sizzling – however Idol notices from the stage and sounds slightly disenchanted. “You’re all so well mannered,” he growls.
Helped by a cooling breeze (and jacket now off, revealing a big bicep tattoo), he succeeds in rousing the group for Dancing By Myself and Foolish Factor, after which Idol, seemingly genuinely moved, says it’s “magic” to listen to his bandmates play as they did again within the 70s. “You didn’t should be one of the best participant, you discovered as you go,” he says of punk’s DIY ethos. These outdated canine will not be studying new methods, however – it’s clear as they pogo across the stage to God Save the Queen and nearer My Manner – those they know, they accomplish that nicely.

Once I anticipated melodramatic synth strings, I bought a chiptune breakdown. There was soul, membership music, a minor Slipknot-esque distorted screaming second. I used to be frankly delighted.
Georgia Ellery is in a gold jumpsuit, singing like she’s in dialog with herself, alternating between guitar, violin and shimmery dancing; her bandmate Taylor Skye is boxed into slightly synth cage beside her. At one level he unleashes one thing that appears like a misplaced Mario Kart theme that was too frenetic for the ultimate recreation. One tune has Georgia enacting a pair’s tiff by way of an Alvin and the Chipmunks filter. Generally the danceable bass takes a vacation so we will higher recognize rhythmic singing or violin moments, then comes thundering again with dubstep crunch.
Proper on the finish of the set it feels as if the band has glitched, and we descend into absolute howling jungle membership filth. The gang is momentarily feral. I’m not the one one to really feel like Glastonbury’s larger levels are taking part in very secure this yr, so this was simply what I wanted underneath the baking solar up on the Park.

Tearing up and down the stage in a fetching Y2K vest-and-trouser combo, he begins with If Solely, a One Republic fist-pumper of rollicking drums and raspy vocals that speaks of romantic near-misses and ambiguous optimism. Royal Highness provides an analogous method, as does Crown Your Love, which he cheerfully remarks was impressed by “Freddie Mercury; that’s who gave me the dream.” He invitations us right into a tacky “We Will Rock You” slow-clap second, and regardless of the blistering temperatures, many oblige, clearly received over by his everyman appeal. “I keep in mind coming right here in 2019, and now I’m right here” he beams.

If there are any vestiges of that Noel Gallagher sort who moans in regards to the lack of “actual bands” at Glasto, they had been hopefully there to see Wunderhorse, a quartet who’re making wondrous artwork out of indie rock’s most elementary first ideas.
Opener Butterflies remembers Radiohead of their Pablo Honey period, whereas frontman Jacob Slater variously channels Lou Reed (the magnificently jittery but anthemic Teal), Bob Dylan (on the verses of terrific new tune Minus) and Chris Martin (easy, hovering nearer Superman). Their aesthetic of saggy denims and bunny hops in the meantime has them wanting like a bunch of boys venting earlier than their shift at Dominos within the night; Slater’s Robert Pattinson handsomeness is the type that launches a thousand teenage crushes on the lip of a skate park bowl.
They are often all issues to all listeners, then, particularly with songs as sturdy as these – Purple’s refrain blooms so instantly and gorgeously, like a time-lapsed rose, whereas Chief of the Pack is a correct hit single: Slater does an odd however compelling run up at it, snarling and stuttering its refrain with pent-up raunch then releasing into its basic riff, like Candy Residence Alabama turned bitter. In the event that they keep on in a groove as sturdy as this, an enormous slot on the Different stage beckons – and even larger.

“Bloody hell, I didn’t think there would be anyone here,” smiles Raye, peering out at the substantial lunchtime crowd: she’s had festival appearances, she explains, where there were “more people on stage than there were in the audience”.

“I’ve not had the best of journeys,” she notes at one level, alluding to her struggles with a significant label who refused to launch her debut album. And her songs typically really feel like diary entries, starkly detailing the pitfalls that await a younger girl within the music enterprise, from sexually predatory, abusive producers on Ice Cream Man to substance abuse on Mary Jane (“The reality is that you just held me higher than any man did,” she sings of opiates) But she’s a effervescent font of Croydon-accented appeal between songs (“Courting rappers – I wouldn’t advise it”), whereas her vocals are authentically show-stopping with out getting in for the type of flashy over-singing that the late Luther Vandross memorably categorised as “vocal karate exhibitionism”.
There’s one thing very unforced and pure about her on stage: when she sings Ice Cream Man, the fury of its lyric at odds with the loveliness of its languid melody, her voice sometimes quivers and catches, as if she’s on the verge of tears. She kicks off her sneakers and dances with cheerful abandon throughout Black Mascara. And she or he talks about self-releasing her album and watching it go to No 2 with a real, infectious pleasure, as if she nonetheless can’t fairly consider she pulled it off.
Her music provides a really London stew of influences – avenue soul, reggae, UK rap, Amy Winehouse-ish retro R&B, home music – allied to a set of genuinely unbelievable songs: her Jax Jones collaboration You Don’t Know Me and this yr’s No 1 hit Escapism each provoke mass singalongs. Black Mascara provides an object lesson in tips on how to give home music a pop sheen with out inflicting it to lose its edge; 5 Star Lodges sounds higher stay than it does on document, her vocals higher for being stripped of autotune.
“My wildest desires have come true!” she cries at one level, and you may perceive why: from an artist that had been kind of written off 12 months in the past, Raye’s Glastonbury set seems like an early-afternoon triumph.

Since time immemorial, music journos have massively overhyped bands to a degree that isn’t actually fair on them, leaving an inevitable gulf between the hype and reality, disappointing audiences and creating a backlash, which we journos can then write about. It’s the circle of life! Couple this with audience suspicion of anyone who seems to have been anointed by the industry in this way and there have been quite a few dark mutters about “industry plants” of late – none louder than those about the Last Dinner Party, a quintet signed to major label Island Records before releasing any music. Sexism surely amplified the grouching, from men suspicious that a group of young women with a cohesive image could actually have formed themselves.
On the bad-faith internet, the music can feel immaterial – and the stage banter here suggests the band won’t beat the posho allegations. But what are they actually like? They fit into a lineage of proudly theatrical alt-pop alongside Patrick Wolf, HMLTD or Anna Calvi (and while musically they’re nothing like Porridge Radio, they share that band’s massed declamatory vocals). Some of these songs are a bit episodic, shunting from one middling section to another with a bold flourish to paper over the lack of finesse or arc. But the crowd are punching the air to Sinner despite having never heard it before, and while Godzilla isn’t to my personal taste – a sort of big-production blues rock that recalls the most money-soaked end of Britpop – the band really sell it.

Their neo-Victoriana aesthetic stands out, and whereas some might discover lead singer Abigail Morris’s repertoire of Kate Bush-ish twirls and self-conscious prowling a bit irritating, there are loads extra who will discover it the very essence of pop panache. She will actually sing, too, fantastically topping off Mirror with a pristine chirrup round her excessive notes. The tent is just about full and everybody appears to know insistent debut single Nothing Issues – there’s clearly sufficient right here, in songcraft and rapport, to drown out the keyboard warriors.

The Park is clearly the place to be for celeb spotters this year. After Cate Blanchett’s star turn at Sparks last night, here’s Tilda Swinton, dressed fittingly in a powder blue suit, providing the narration for Max Richter’s 2004 suite The Blue Notebooks.
Richter, supported here by an accomplished string quartet, introduces the performance by noting that it was originally written as “a kind of protest against the Iraq War” but – with the exception of the roiling The Trees, these sombre, stately compositions give off a mood of resignation rather than fury. It opens with On the Nature of Daylight, best known for soundtracking a tonne of films including the Denis Villeneuve sci-fi Arrival. It’s a gorgeous slow-build of a composition that elicits a quiet sob from several presumably worse for wear festival-goers near me.

It’s an incongruous expertise, watching and listening to one thing so rarefied whereas within the distance a person in a Crocodile Dundee hat gamely tries to move 4 pints of cider directly. However there’s a way of ceremony and grandeur right here that leaves a different all-ages viewers – mother and father, pensioners, caners – completely rapt. A sensational begin to Saturday.

I look away to edit our Blossoms and Rick Astley assessment – rapturous, incoming shortly – and switch again to seek out yet one more Lizzo costume change: now a Tina Turner-worthy gown of thigh-skimming golden strands. She segues from an I’m Each Girl cowl into Everyone’s Homosexual, and the cheers from the Pyramid are pretty gushing in our portacabin window – this rivals Lionel Richie’s legends set for the sound of pure giddy crowd pleasure.
Tinariwen reviewed
Ammar Kalia
Park stage, 6.15pm
Tuareg rockers Tinariwen have spent the previous 44 years honing their very own mix of blues and Saharan desert folks, all unified by a distinctly intricate, finger-picking fashion of electrical guitar taking part in. Theirs is a hypnotic, cyclical melody that envelops in its percussive rounds – drawing in heatstroked crowds from the punishing sunshine to the cool shadows forged by the Park stage on Saturday night.
Dressed within the ethereal, silken shapes of their trademark robes, founding member Ibrahim Ag Alhabib delivers a rousing hour-long set along with his five-piece band. Opening in a mid-tempo with an acoustic 12-string guitar, Alhabib quickly picks up the tempo, wielding his electrical guitar and getting the group bouncing alongside to the swirling eddies of their polyrhythms by the second quantity. The tempo builds gently all through the set; between entreaties of “Hello, is it okay?” from band members, the group sway quicker and quicker, finally reaching a euphoric mini-mosh pit on the hand-clapped rhythm of Chaghaybou.
This can be music rooted in Tuareg custom but it surely additionally contains all the pieces from the shades of bluegrass of their frenetic chromaticism to Jimi Hendrix-esque distortion on the chugging Tamatant Tilay, and even a quick foray into disco courtesy of a solo by bass participant Eyadou Ag Leche. Regardless of the musical components, Tinariwen are a joyous expertise, one which retains the all-ages crowd smiling. That is precisely the kind of set that Glastonbury, and the Park stage particularly, had been constructed for: folks celebrating and welcoming a musical heritage they’d by no means in any other case expertise.
Lizzo has already modified costume. She is now in a baby-pink boiler swimsuit – guess this was mood-boarded for a a lot rainier pageant – to carry out Grrrls, appropriately backed by her all-female band and dancers.
Lewis Capaldi reviewed
Laura has printed her four-star assessment of Lewis Capaldi’s extremely emotional efficiency on the Pyramid stage. A quick flavour:
“Capaldi doesn’t point out his latest psychological unwell well being till the tip of the set, but it surely in a short time turns into apparent that the viewers are keenly conscious of his scenario and decided to buoy him at each doable alternative … it’s palpable how a lot the group need him to know that he’s OK, it’s all OK, he’s cherished.”
Jazz-funkers Ezra Collective, presently on West Holts, have simply introduced on a large kids’s brass band for an uplifting Afrobeat quantity with Joe Armon-Jones’s keys vamping away within the background. Between them and Lizzo the dial is spinning uncontrolled on the constructive vibes-ometer.
“Unbelievably good” and “completely transcendent” have been among the descriptors gabbled at me by folks getting back from Blossoms and Rick Astley. We’ll have a full assessment up in not too lengthy.
In the meantime Lizzo has kicked off on the Pyramid stage, carrying a BDSM-friendly ballgown and in sometimes barnstorming voice as she fires Cuz I Love You roughly 5 postcodes to the east.
Right here’s our reporter Josh Halliday’s information story about Lewis Capaldi saying he’s taking probably the remainder of the yr off to concentrate on his psychological well being.
Blossoms’ bassist Charlie Salt is doing a very reasonable stab on the bassline to Barbarism Begins at Residence, initially performed with monstrous funkiness by the not too long ago deceased Andy Rourke. Blossoms are typically doing job of approximating the Smiths sound though it’s an illustration of the particular magic that sits on the coronary heart of nice musicians: you may rebuild the Marr guitar sound with a 3D-printed accuracy but it surely’ll by no means really feel the identical.
The eternally nice Tinariwen are in the meantime up on the Park, and to be trustworthy there’s nothing I might moderately be proper now than mendacity on the hill there, three-pint pissed, whereas Tuareg guitar strains gambol over me.
Our Ammar is up there: “Tinariwen are unimaginable – getting the group bouncing after just one tune; swirling rhythmic eddies with their intricate finger-picking guitar. Appears like that is what Glastonbury is made for: folks of all ages celebrating a musical heritage they’d in any other case hardly ever encounter firsthand.”
Manic Avenue Preachers have kicked off with a biggie on the Different stage: Motorbike Vacancy, famously impressed by Weapons N’ Roses who’re on in only a few hours. James Dean Bradfield’s voice is settling in a bit, however the way in which he pushes it into the near-gargled purple is one in every of rock’s nice vocal results.
A part of the enjoyment of this Blossoms and Rick Astley set is imagining how a lot Morrissey would completely despise it. I wish to watch Morrissey as he watches Rick act out the lyrics of Some Women Are Larger Than Others, miming “as he opened a crate of ale” with the exaggerated motions of a Butlin’s magician. Undergo little Moz!
As John Paul and our Keza have each stated, there’s additionally pleasure within the crowd at singing together with the Smiths completely guilt free. Camp and foolish because it undoubtedly is, it’s as if Astley’s goofy good nature sucks out the toxins of Morrisey’s odious latterday views and we will all simply get on with vibing out to Hand in Glove or no matter.
Personally, even after Morrissey wore a T-shirt studying “FUCK THE GUARDIAN” throughout my music editorship, I simply keep on listening to them like nothing’s the matter. One thing in regards to the whole-band synergy makes the Smiths far more than Morrissey to me.

Our sub-editor John Paul is within the sweaty combine with Astley and Blossoms. “He’s hitting the falsetto notes of What Distinction Does It Make? with out doing the standard extremely nasal factor that impersonations normally depend on. Blossoms appear lots softer and decrease within the combine than the Smiths had been stay although, turning it right into a type of uncancelled Smiths karaoke.”

Jacob Collier reviewed
Gwilym Mumford
West Holts, 17.30
It’s baking sizzling at Glasto at this time so when Jacob Collier bounds on to the stage wearing probably the most violently vibrant outfit conceivable, shrieking wildly on the crowd, you’re tempted to write down him off as a figment of your heatstroke-addled creativeness. However no, Collier is actual and he’s A LOT.
Extraordinarily proficient and very glad for everybody to comprehend it, he makes use of this set as a chance to indicate off his functionality with each instrument he can get his arms on: solely the triangle mercifully stays unplayed by the tip. There are some genuinely spectacular moments right here, and a canopy of Can’t Assist Falling in Love With You on which he modulates his voice right into a rainbow of astonishingly shut harmonies, has viewers jaws dropping.
The issue with Collier, as loads of folks have identified, is that as proficient as he’s, he tends to make use of his powers for, if not evil a lot, then no less than for beigeness. A lot of the trickery on present right here – the quarter-tones, the syncopation, the intelligent call-and-response vocals – appears to be in service of curiously conservative compositions: by-the-numbers jazz, funk and soul. There are sufficient bells and whistles to maintain the plenty entertained, but when Collier may make his songwriting as riotously unique as his outfits, then he’d actually be on to one thing.
Lewis Capaldi took a break from touring forward of this Glastonbury set, and has introduced he’ll now take one other one. “For the following few weeks; you may not see me even for the remainder of the yr. However once I do come again and I do see you I hope you’re up for watching”. He has suffered from poor psychological well being and his Tourette’s tics have been evident at this time – and he has been courageous in conserving all this battle out within the open, notably on a latest Netflix documentary. His candour, and undimmed banter, are met with an enormous swell of undiluted love from an viewers who wish to hoist him aloft.

Rick Astley, having modified from his earlier powder pink swimsuit to at least one in powder blue, is in booming stentorian type on his and Blossoms’ opening tune, This Charming Man, helicoptering the mic round his head on the climax. It’s definitely kitsch however doesn’t really feel like precise cosplay.

I don’t have any pics but however Jacob Collier is dressed like a very grating kids’s entertainer, however is doing an amazing job as trainer, conducting the group in a massed choral singalong utilizing solely his arms – an incredible impact.
Friday was a fantastically sunny day to start out the competition’s massive levels. Previous to the day’s greatest acts – the not-so thriller act the ChurnUps, dance star Fred Once more, and a Fomo-inducing last conflict between Arctic Monkeys, Wizkid, Kelis, Scorching Chip, Fever Ray and a Chemical Brothers DJ set – the day kicked off for a lot of with a sure lustrously-curled motivator.

Sharleen Spiteri spoke to Alexis Petridis at a Guardian Live event at the Cabaret stage forward of Texas’s present later within the day. Spiteri proved enjoyably ferocious and foul-mouthed about her expertise of being a lady within the music business, although as a fan she had by no means seen any distinction between her heroes Joe Strummer and Debbie Harry. “I by no means actually differentiated between feminine and male pop stars … I’ve by no means thought: ‘I’m a lady in music’. It’s a robust struggle, going up in opposition to the boys, but it surely isn’t any completely different than should you’re stacking cabinets in Tesco – it’s the best way of the world.”

A number of days of will-they-won’t-they laryngitis hypothesis stoked anticipation for Arctic Monkeys’ massive Friday nighter – the Sheffield lads’ brilliantly odd mix of barnstorming indie rock and crooned ballads couldn’t unite the whole Pyramid crowd, but it surely reveals how unwilling they’re to cleave to what’s anticipated of an enormous British band.

In the meantime, in an indication of the sheer scope of Glastonbury’s musical remit and A-list clout, considered one of Africa’s greatest stars, Wizkid, closed the proceedings on the Different stage.
“This is for anyone who was here 15 years ago”, Liam Fray says before launching into the chiming chords of Bide Your Time. It underlines what a curiously robust proposition the Courteeners have been. Somehow their lumpen landfill indie has endured into its third decade.
They’re still as bewilderingly popular as before: they filled out Old Trafford Cricket Ground earlier this month. Glastonbury can’t quite match that huge hometown crowd: while the Woodsies tent is just about full, it’s not the overflowing bedlam seen here in recent years at sets from the likes of Gerry Cinnamon. (Although in fairness they’ve drawn the short straw here, scheduled against the Foo Fighters.)
At this stage of their career there’s little chance of an any surprises here – a change of direction into gabber or free jazz. Instead it’s very much the tried and tested: mid-tempo plodders with top-of-your-lungs choruses. In fairness it’s a formula that works: a rousing Not 19 Forever sees the air fill with flare smoke. But there is a misstep in covering Madness’s It Must Be Love, a genuinely great song that rather shows up the relative meagreness of the Courteeners’ own output.

New Zealander Ruban Nielson has quietly amassed one of the best catalogues in alternative music: five albums (and some extraneous, long, meandering offcuts) of lo-fi psych-pop and funk with the faintest sense of a hip-hop beatmaker’s sensibility. It means he essentially has a greatest hits set to roll out at festivals, particularly because the material from new album V – made as ever with bandmate Jacob Portrait – is some of his best. This is the Platonic ideal of a mid-afternoon Glasto set: laidback and three-pints blissful, but also with a bit of pep and bite to keep the head nodding rather than nodding off. The riff of opener The Garden sounds gorgeous rolling around the slope of the Park stage, and Nielson – while not a naturally robust vocalist – makes the most of his melancholic croon on the likes of Nadja. There’s a heady, happy vibe under the baking sun; a positive mindset to launch you into the evening’s big hitters.

Foo Fighters appear to have confirmed they will be playing a surprise show on the Pyramid Stage at Glastonbury, ending weeks of frenzied speculation.
An hour before a set advertised to be played by a mystery band dubbed The ChurnUps, the American rockers posted a photo of flags in the festival crowd – one with the phrase Churn It Up brandished across it – and tagged the post #Glastonbury2023.
The online posts appeared to confirm weeks of increasingly frenzied speculation about the identity of the Churn Ups, the fake name given to a secret group set to play shortly before headliners Arctic Monkeys.
Short of being spotted at Pilton Tesco, their appearance was as good as confirmed earlier this month when the band posted a tweet to their fans, saying “it feels good to see you, churning up these emotions together”.
Shortly before the band were due on stage, Texas frontwoman Sharleen Spiteri gave further credence to the speculation when she said: “I was chatting earlier to a particular frontman drummer – I wonder who that could be …” – prompting cheers from the tens of thousands in front of the Pyramid stage.
Their performance will come just over a year after Taylor Hawkins, the band’s drummer, was found dead in his hotel room during a tour in South America last March.
The world’s biggest greenfield festival has always hosted secret sets, but this one on a Friday evening on the Pyramid stage is by far one of the most high-profile.
Emily Eavis, whose father Michael founded the festival half a century ago, said earlier on Friday that the ChurnUps were a band who could easily headline the festival.

Decked out in a preposterous pair of leaf-covered parachute pants and backed by a big band clad in skeleton costumes, Louis Cole cements his reputation as the king of what Pitchfork calls New Weird Jazz. This is jazz delivered with a semi-ironic wink, full of strange postmodern inside jokes and a loose, lo-fi vibe. There’s something raw and underperformed about his band’s performance here, their extended funk freakouts just about staying on the right side of sloppy. Everything feels done on the fly. At one point Cole suddenly decides to skip a track because it’s too “soft” for a festival. It turns out to be a smart choice because Cole and his band are at their best when they’re blasting through tracks like his breakout song Bank Account with high energy. He’s backed by an extremely game trio of vocalists, bouncing and dipping and writhing around the stage, barely staying still all set. Cole is scarcely any more sedate, hopping between keys and kit several times during each song. It’s an exuberant Friday afternoon palate cleanser, setting things nicely before the sun goes down and the festival turns feral.

OK, I do know we’re 5 hours from the headliners however, so far as I’m involved, the competition has been topped and concluded by Carly Rae Jepsen already. There’s a particular pleasure to a pop star who exists for a distinct segment viewers who in flip deal with them like a world-beating star, singing alongside word-perfect, revelling in each transfer. The devoted have assembled on the Different Stage right this moment. Anybody who wrote off CRJ as a one-hit surprise based mostly on her 2012 smash Name Me Possibly has misplaced out on a world of pleasure.
This has been considered one of Glastonbury’s first – of many – singalong moments to nostalgia-tinged pop with one foot within the 80s. One of many purest pleasures of Jepsen is that she appears to take pleasure in her music as a lot as her followers do, giddily bounding across the stage. She displays their devotion to her catalogue by confidently taking part in considered one of her best songs, Run Away With Me, as her third quantity, as a result of she is aware of there are manifold joys nonetheless to return. The track begins with a wistful, expressive saxophone solo, and he or she faces off with the sax participant earlier than the gang yell alongside to a refrain that expresses the purest essence of Jeppo: “Take me! To the! Feeling!”
Jepsen’s music is all about that: chopping the small speak and simply getting straight to the potent half, with virtually serial-killer precision; it’s restraining-order pop. “Who gave you eyes like that, stated you possibly can hold them,” she sings on I Actually Like You, like a High 40 Ed Gein. “I didn’t simply come right here to bop if what I imply,” she sings on I Didn’t Simply Come Right here to Dance, and also you barely fear about precisely what she means. “I’m by no means getting over it,” on The Loneliest Time. She is fiercely intense, a top quality that’s mirrored in her endearingly rabid efficiency. There’s not one emotion that she doesn’t act out in her brilliantly literal dance strikes, nor a second when she isn’t leaping round as laborious as her viewers.
Some folks have written Jepsen off as a flop as a result of she has not ascended to the world-dominating heights of Name Me Possibly once more, but it surely appears to me that she enjoys a transcendent pop candy spot, unpressed by industrial pressures and properly conscious of learn how to serve the individuals who love her. And he or she is aware of it: the one different pop star in latest reminiscence I can recall having fun with themselves this a lot is Rosalía, and in an period of trauma-pop, it’s simple to neglect what a easy pleasure that’s.
There are just a few lulls however they’re excusable moments through which Jepsen can get her breath again after the moments of euphoria. The universe seemingly agrees: after a welcomely shady afternoon – blessed, à la the Jepsen track, by a Western Wind – the solar comes out for nearer Lower to the Feeling, yet one more crucial to chop the crap and simply take pleasure in issues for what they’re.

On the Cabaret tent earlier this morning, in conversation with the Guardian’s Alexis Petridis, Texas frontwoman Sharleen Spiteri spoke self-effacingly of her band’s exceptional 35-year run and vary of hits: “Texas, who’re these outdated bastards? Oh – they did that track?”
It’s true that in 2023, a few of the breadth of Texas’ again catalogue might have receded from view, however the hits are immediately recognisable, nonetheless potent and impressively diversified: Inside Smile, Black Eyed Boy, Halo, I Don’t Desire a Lover (the primary track Spiteri ever wrote, she stated this morning), and Say What You Need, to call the primary to return to thoughts.
As such it’s a packed discipline when Texas take to the Pyramid stage simply after 4pm on Friday, in an impressed alternative of programming for the (sizeable!) over-thirties demographic of the viewers, no less than. In fact the hits play greatest with the gang, however what’s most placing about Texas’s set is her inspirational, Jagger-esque power as a frontwoman – contrasted together with her humble gratitude. It’s clear that Spiteri doesn’t take the viewers without any consideration.
“I’d identical to to say thanks so, a lot,” she says. “I do know there’s a great deal of bands on. It’s been 35 years since we began.” (“Oh my god,” says a lady behind me.)
She rewards us with “one other probability to bop”, launching into Mr Haze, which samples Donna Summers’ Love Unkind, making it appear extra acquainted than recommended by the 2021 launch date. True to Spiteri’s prediction, a unique lady passing behind me says: “I do know this track!”
The labels of “grownup up to date “ or “simple listening rock” that may be utilized to Texas belie the songwriting and musical nous that’s needed for them to final via many years: the illustrative outro to Black Eyed Boy, obtained gladly by the gang, demonstrates Spiteri’s highly effective voice.
That is adopted up swiftly by Inside Smile – when even Spiteri appears shocked by the viewers’s enthusiasm (“bloody hell!”) – and Say What You Need. The solar comes out for the tip of the latter, concluding a wealthy and rewarding set.
“I simply need to say one factor,” says the famously outspoken Spiteri earlier than her ultimate track. “Emily Eavis is an enormous supporter of feminine musicians, not as a result of she’s ticking a fucking field … She’s placing us on this stage as a result of she thinks we’re fucking superb.”

Strolling out to a totally packed tent at your very first Glastonbury does take some critical nerves, and at first, British R&B sensations Flo do seem like bricking it. The opening traces of Not My Job are fairly shaky, however after they discover their footing and people harmonies come out, the outcomes are correctly spectacular, making it clear why they’ve earned their Future’s Grandchildren tag.
Because the set goes on, glints of their character start to indicate, gaining confidence with each sneaky reassuring have a look at each other or tumbled chat with the gang. “We didn’t assume it might be this large!” marvels Stella, whereas Reneè provides some nervous state-the-obvious pivotals: “We’re a lady group, we sing”. It falls to Jorja – the group’s most assertive performer – to tell us that they are going to be singing songs from their debut EP, The Lead.
In a competition set, the samey nature of Flo’s “don’t want no man” method to songwriting feels somewhat uncovered, however there nonetheless are a number of house runs. One other Man, is a beautiful 90s low-key storage ballad within the vein of their idol Brandy, whereas Dropping You – a strong addition to the girlgroup heartbreak ballad ouvre – is elevated by how a lot they’re clearly having fun with taking part in vocal gymnastics, prompting a number of ladies within the entrance rows to snap their fingers and holler “Saaaaaang!” in approval of their skyscraper notes. It opens them up for a Y2K-tastic cowl of Jamelia’s Famous person, earlier than the large end of Fly Lady and Cardboard Field.
The logistics are all on level, and the vocals are actually sensational, however Flo’s ending flourish will probably be after they discover a contact extra looseness, a deeper sense of spontaneous pleasure in their very own apparent skills. With the gang clearly on facet although, they’ll seemingly discover their, ahem, move, quickly sufficient.

An absolutely massive crowd turned up at the Woodsies stage earlier – FKA John Peel – to see Nottingham rapper Bru-C, a ludicrously energetic MC whose ferocious take on basslines is, surely, jolting awake anyone still trying to sleep off last night’s hangover. I’ve felt profoundly listless all morning, but Bru-C’s aggressive, hyper-melodic rap certainly shakes me out of it – even if the 2010s brostep vibes of his production do occasionally get a little too intense to bear.
Judging by the crowd, I seem to be alone on that front: everyone around me is absolutely losing it. I feel like I’m watching the keynote address at the Glastonbury lad convention – I’m surrounded by lads of all creeds and colours, shapes and sizes. I might be the only man here who’s wearing a shirt; a shirtless child in a bucket hat next to me has been breakdancing for the entirety of the set.
After whipping the crowd into an absolutely insane frenzy with TMO (Turn Me On) – a Luude collab which, despite being released less than two weeks ago, the entire crowd knows – Bru-C takes a second to get real. “I’ve been battling with mental illness for a while,” he says. “I think it’s important to speak about it here when everyone’s having a good time, because it’s real.” The introspective moment doesn’t last long: soon enough, he’s leading the crowd in a sing-a-long of his hit Sunrise. The duality of lad! Closing with his hit You & I, Bru-C matches the sheer euphoria of his crowd, clearly ecstatic about even being here.

These laborious seltzers that everybody experimentally rehydrated with this morning are kicking in and the Pyramid crowd is primed for a set of waist-winding, bum-shaking rap and pop from Stefflon Don and her six neon-pink-clad dancers. Mentioned crowd is about as simple to please as they arrive – the solar is definitely out! Cares begone! – which is simply in addition to whereas this set has its easy pleasures, it’s not the best we’ll see this weekend. Steff lets the backing monitor do the heavy lifting for the singing and even a few of the rapping – a attainable lack of confidence, and a disgrace on condition that her rapid-fire move at different factors is nimble and poised on prime of the beat.
Many of the power spikes come from different folks’s tracks that she has a bit half in (Boasty, Greatest Buddy, a enjoyable and twerk-filled Bum Bum Tam Tam) or no half in in any respect (Lil Uzi Vert’s I Wanna Rock, an excuse for a little bit of dancing off mic). In the end, she simply doesn’t have the songs to match her appreciable stage presence and star high quality, apart from the closing 16 Pictures and Hurtin’ Me, which by this level really feel actually fairly outdated. She proclaims her debut album to return later this 12 months, and right here’s hoping it might probably meet up with her calibre.

Contemporary off a wee stint supporting Arctic Monkeys on tour, the Hives are right here to wake us all up with their bouncy, shouty, immediately recognisable garage-rock stompers forward of their touring mates’ headline set this night. It’s SCORCHING out right here, they usually come out in black fits embellished with white lighting bolts and and quavers. They should be completely roasting alive, however you wouldn’t realize it – frontman Howlin’ Pelle Almqvist jump-kicks across the stage flinging his mic round with the boldness and abandon of a yo-yo champion throughout Important Offender.
Maybe improbably for a Swede, Amlqvist channels large Southern preacher power for this complete set, working the gang up between songs – “140bpm is the tempo of EXCITED HUMAN BEINGS! PUT YOUR HANDS TOGETHER!” he yells, earlier than the band launches into Stroll Fool Stroll. Everybody’s actually bouncing now, regardless of the lethargy-inducing warmth. You’ll be able to’t resist riffs this big, busted out effortlessly by guitarist Nicholaus Arson while his brother bigs the band up between songs like a circus ringmaster. “Subsequent up is without doubt one of the most interesting compositions in rock and roll! I can’t imagine our luck that we’re the band that get to play it. The lyrics are PROFOUND,” he jokes, earlier than kicking into Come On (whose lyrics, you might keep in mind, are the truth is comprised fully of these two phrases). That is GREAT enjoyable.
It was at all times gonna be Hate to Say I Instructed You So from the overgrown indie rock youngsters on this viewers. It’s made even higher when Almqvist transforms it into an unlikely a capella quantity, getting the gang to sing the riff (extra tunefully than regular for a Glastonbury crowd, really, maybe as a result of it’s not but 2pm on Friday). They shut with their latest track, Countdown to Shutdown, and ship us off grinning to take pleasure in the remainder of the competition. “We’re having such a good time in England we’d fuckin keep,” Pelle says – with tunes like these, they’ll at all times be tremendous welcome.

Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe has spoken about her expertise being incarcerated in Iran at a chat at Glastonbury on Friday afternoon.
“The Iranian authorities would sacrifice their very own residents to feed their very own agenda, to the purpose that they don’t even care a couple of younger mom and her younger baby,” she stated. “I used to be used as a political pawn for one thing that predated me. The debt the British authorities owed the Iranian authorities was earlier than I used to be even born.”
“Whereas I used to be in jail I had little or no entry to the surface world. So I don’t really know what was occurring, I knew there was a marketing campaign happening, however I didn’t precisely know the main points or what was occurring.”
She added: “However my dad and mom did take one copy of a really low high quality image smuggled into Evin which was a banner from Glastonbury 2019, we’re all going to cry now, that confirmed Free Nazanin … that reveals how far your story can get if folks care about you.”

Star Feminine Band are the platonic ideal of a festival opener. It’s 11.30am, the sun is already perilously high, and these six girls from Benin absolutely exude radiance. In 2016, multi-instrumentalist André Balaguemon started a music workshop for local girls; in 2020, the band of girls and teenagers, including his two daughters (Angélique on drums and Grâce Marina on keys), had formed, and they recorded their self-titled debut album in two days. Their sound brings together highlife, bubu, rumba and local waama rhythms, carrying their messages of optimism and the empowerment of African women.

All of them put on conch necklaces, crimson ribbons on their heads and blue and yellow conventional print clothes, with white spots painted on their pores and skin, and infrequently transfer collectively, seemingly spontaneously breaking into co-ordinated shimmies.
Angélique performs a standard drum equipment on the again; Urrice Borikapei and Sandrine Ouei drum on the entrance, utilizing conventional devices together with a brilliant pink calabash. They offer the band its polyrhythmic, shimmying foundations – in addition to an array of unbelievable dance routines, and at one level flipping from entrance to again on the bottom and kicking joyfully, and, impressively, throwing shakers backwards and forwards between them with out dropping a beat. Anchoring them is bassist Julienne Sayi, one of many coolest to ever do it, at one level falling to her knees to bludgeon the dwelling daylights out of her instrument, and concluding their final track taking part in it on prime of her head.

(The musician they most remind me of is the late French nice Lizzy Mercier Descloux, notably her 1981 album Mambo Nassau.)
All through, the assorted members communicate in regards to the empowerment of ladies and vociferously in opposition to the exploitation of kids. All of them stay collectively in the identical home and go to high school collectively, they clarify, earlier than all of them take a unbelievable solo on their closing track (Grâce Marina’s fusion taking part in is very good). They’re dwelling proof of their mission, a beautiful band in each sense, and one of the best begin to the weekend I can think about.

Opening the Pyramid stage – and therefore, spiritually speaking, the whole festival – are The Master Musicians of Joujouka, hailing from a village in the Ahl-Srif mountains in Morocco and playing a style of music that has existed for over a thousand years. Listening to it, you feel caught up in an eternal stream of sound: this is an unbroken performance of drones, fluting melodic patterns and hypnotic drums. Those melodies are played on ghaitas, reed instruments that look and sound like a cross between a clarinet and bagpipe chanter with serpentine and immersive notes that chafe against each other as they surge forward. The drums wouldn’t be out of place in a Hessle Audio techno set elsewhere in the fest: settling into a swaying rhythm that’s then twisted by the arrival of another competing bit.

The Courteeners – reviewed!
Gwilym Mumford
“That is for anybody who was right here 15 years in the past”, Liam Fray says earlier than launching into the chiming chords of Bide Your Time. It underlines what a curiously sturdy proposition the Courteeners have been. By some means their lumpen landfill indie has endured into its third decade.
They’re nonetheless as bewilderingly in style as earlier than: they stuffed out Outdated Trafford Cricket Floor earlier this month. Glastonbury can’t fairly match that vast hometown crowd: whereas the Woodsies tent is nearly full, it’s not the overflowing bedlam seen right here in recent times at units from the likes of Gerry Cinnamon. (Though in equity they’ve drawn the quick straw right here, scheduled in opposition to the Foo Fighters.)
At this stage of their profession there’s little probability of an any surprises right here – a change of path into gabber or free jazz. As a substitute it’s very a lot the tried and examined: mid-tempo plodders with top-of-your-lungs choruses. In equity it’s a system that works: a rousing Not 19 Endlessly sees the air fill with flare smoke. However there’s a misstep in overlaying Insanity’s It Should Be Love, a genuinely nice track that moderately reveals up the relative meagreness of the Courteeners’ personal output.
Foo Fighters have devoted Everlong to their late drummer Taylor Hawkins. Ben Beaumont-Thomas says: “It’s placing that for all Grohl saying they’ve solely an hour and should get via songs, they’re doing actually lengthy preparations and the breezy extemporised vibe actually works. It’s the other of going via the hits – whereas nonetheless taking part in the hits.”
From the Foos: “Dave Grohl introduced on his daughter, Violet, for Present Me How, from the brand new LP. She acquits herself very well – chews gum and appears supremely unbothered about taking part in to 100k folks.”
Alexis Petridis says: “Foo Fighters fairly appealingly uncooked and ragged, plenty of songs to date at hardcore punk tempos, and Dave Grohl simply broke into the riff from Paranoid by Black Sabbath. Particular sense of “That is our roots”, ie: “We’re nonetheless the identical band”.

Shocking completely nobody, the Foo Fighters are the mysterious Churnups, taking part in the principle stage proper now! Sounds invigorating from the place we’re backstage no less than: suggestions from the sector incoming. Ben Beaumont Thomas says: “It’s virtually a showcase for brand new drummer Josh Freese – lengthy songs with plenty of drum fills and beefy guitar wigouts.”
Additionally, hiya, Laura Snapes taking up the subsequent three hours’ liveblogging.

The Park, 4.45pm
New Zealander Ruban Nielson has quietly amassed among the best catalogues in different music: 5 albums (and a few extraneous, lengthy, meandering offcuts) of lo-fi psych-pop and funk with the faintest sense of a hip-hop beatmaker’s sensibility. It means he primarily has a best hits set to roll out at festivals, notably as a result of the fabric from new album V – made as ever with bandmate Jacob Portrait – is a few of his greatest. That is the Platonic splendid of a mid-afternoon Glasto set: laidback and three-pints blissful, but in addition with a little bit of pep and chew to maintain the top nodding moderately than nodding off. The riff of opener The Backyard sounds beautiful rolling across the slope of the Park stage, and Nielson – whereas not a naturally sturdy vocalist – makes essentially the most of his melancholic croon on the likes of Nadja. There’s a heady, joyful vibe beneath the baking solar; a constructive mindset to launch you into the night’s large hitters.
Foo Fighters seem to substantiate they are going to play shock present
Josh Halliday
Foo Fighters seem to have confirmed they are going to be taking part in a shock present on the Pyramid Stage at Glastonbury, ending weeks of frenzied hypothesis.
An hour earlier than a set marketed to be performed by a thriller band dubbed The ChurnUps, the American rockers posted a photograph of flags within the competition crowd – one with the phrase Churn It Up brandished throughout it – and tagged the submit #Glastonbury2023.
A separate tweet from the account of the ChurnUps was signed off by ‘DG’, the initials of frontman Dave Grohl.
The web posts appeared to substantiate weeks of more and more frenzied hypothesis in regards to the identification of the Churn Ups, the pretend title given to a secret group set to play shortly earlier than headliners Arctic Monkeys.
In need of being noticed at Pilton Tesco, their look was pretty much as good as confirmed earlier this month when the band posted a tweet to their followers, saying “it feels good to see you, churning up these feelings collectively”.
Shortly earlier than the band had been due on stage, Texas frontwoman Sharleen Spiteri gave additional credence to the hypothesis when she stated: “I used to be chatting earlier to a specific frontman drummer – I ponder who that could possibly be …” – prompting cheers from the tens of hundreds in entrance of the Pyramid stage.
Their efficiency will come simply over a 12 months after Taylor Hawkins, the band’s drummer, was discovered lifeless in his lodge room throughout a tour in South America final March.
The band, who headlined Glastonbury in 2017, are on account of start a world tour in Canada subsequent month.
The world’s largest greenfield competition has at all times hosted secret units, however this one on a Friday night on the Pyramid stage is by far some of the high-profile.
Emily Eavis, whose father Michael based the competition half a century in the past, stated earlier on Friday that the ChurnUps had been a band who might simply headline the competition.
Louis Cole reviewed

West Holts, 4pm
Decked out in a preposterous pair of leaf-covered parachute pants and backed by an enormous band clad in skeleton costumes, Louis Cole cements his fame because the king of what Pitchfork calls New Bizarre Jazz. That is jazz delivered with a semi-ironic wink, stuffed with unusual postmodern inside jokes and a free, lo-fi vibe. There’s one thing uncooked and underperformed about his band’s efficiency right here, their prolonged funk freakouts nearly staying on the correct facet of sloppy. Every part feels achieved on the fly. At one level Cole instantly decides to skip a monitor as a result of it’s too “tender” for a competition. It seems to be a sensible alternative as a result of Cole and his band are at their greatest after they’re blasting via tracks like his breakout track Financial institution Account with excessive power. He’s backed by an especially sport trio of vocalists, bouncing and dipping and writhing across the stage, barely staying nonetheless all set. Cole is scarcely any extra sedate, hopping between keys and equipment a number of instances throughout every track. It’s an exuberant Friday afternoon palate cleanser, setting issues properly earlier than the solar goes down and the competition turns feral.

Different Stage, 3.45pm

OK, I do know we’re 5 hours from the headliners however, so far as I’m involved, the competition has been topped and concluded by Carly Rae Jepsen already. There’s a particular pleasure to a pop star who exists for a distinct segment viewers who in flip deal with them like a world-beating star, singing alongside word-perfect, revelling in each transfer. The devoted have assembled on the Different Stage right this moment. Anybody who wrote off CRJ as a one-hit surprise based mostly on her 2012 smash Name Me Possibly has misplaced out on a world of pleasure.
This has been considered one of Glastonbury’s first – of many – singalong moments to nostalgia-tinged pop with one foot within the 80s. One of many purest pleasures of Jepsen is that she appears to take pleasure in her music as a lot as her followers do, giddily bounding across the stage. She displays their devotion to her catalogue by confidently taking part in considered one of her best songs, Run Away With Me, as her third quantity, as a result of she is aware of there are manifold joys nonetheless to return. The track begins with a wistful, expressive saxophone solo, and he or she faces off with the sax participant earlier than the gang yell alongside to a refrain that expresses the purest essence of Jeppo: “Take me! To the! Feeling!”
Jepsen’s music is all about that: chopping the small speak and simply getting straight to the potent half, with virtually serial-killer precision; it’s restraining-order pop. “Who gave you eyes like that, stated you possibly can hold them,” she sings on I Actually Like You, like a High 40 Ed Gein. “I didn’t simply come right here to bop if what I imply,” she sings on I Didn’t Simply Come Right here to Dance, and also you barely fear about precisely what she means. “I’m by no means getting over it,” on The Loneliest Time. She is fiercely intense, a top quality that’s mirrored in her endearingly rabid efficiency. There’s not one emotion that she doesn’t act out in her brilliantly literal dance strikes, nor a second when she isn’t leaping round as laborious as her viewers.
Some folks have written Jepsen off as a flop as a result of she has not ascended to the world-dominating heights of Name Me Possibly once more, but it surely appears to me that she enjoys a transcendent pop candy spot, unpressed by industrial pressures and properly conscious of learn how to serve the individuals who love her. And he or she is aware of it: the one different pop star in latest reminiscence I can recall having fun with themselves this a lot is Rosalía, and in an period of trauma-pop, it’s simple to neglect what a easy pleasure that’s.
There are just a few lulls however they’re excusable moments through which Jepsen can get her breath again after the moments of euphoria. The universe seemingly agrees: after a welcomely shady afternoon – blessed, à la the Jepsen track, by a Western Wind – the solar comes out for nearer Lower to the Feeling, yet one more crucial to chop the crap and simply take pleasure in issues for what they’re.

Blissful to be right here … Sharleen Spiteri of Texas performs on the Pyramid stage. {Photograph}: Dave Hogan/Hogan Media/Shutterstock
On the Cabaret tent earlier this morning, in conversation with the Guardian’s Alexis Petridis, Texas frontwoman Sharleen Spiteri spoke self-effacingly of her band’s exceptional 35-year run and vary of hits: “Texas, who’re these outdated bastards? Oh – they did that track?”
It’s true that in 2023, a few of the breadth of Texas’ again catalogue might have receded from view, however the hits are immediately recognisable, nonetheless potent and impressively diversified: Inside Smile, Black Eyed Boy, Halo, I Don’t Desire a Lover (the primary track Spiteri ever wrote, she stated this morning), and Say What You Need, to call the primary to return to thoughts.
As such it’s a packed discipline when Texas take to the Pyramid stage simply after 4pm on Friday, in an impressed alternative of programming for the (sizeable!) over-thirties demographic of the viewers, no less than. In fact the hits play greatest with the gang, however what’s most placing about Texas’s set is her inspirational, Jagger-esque power as a frontwoman – contrasted together with her humble gratitude. It’s clear that Spiteri doesn’t take the viewers without any consideration.
“I’d identical to to say thanks so, a lot,” she says. “I do know there’s a great deal of bands on. It’s been 35 years since we began.” (“Oh my god,” says a lady behind me.)
She rewards us with “one other probability to bop”, launching into Mr Haze, which samples Donna Summers’ Love Unkind, making it appear extra acquainted than recommended by the 2021 launch date. True to Spiteri’s prediction, a unique lady passing behind me says: “I do know this track!”
The labels of “grownup up to date “ or “simple listening rock” that may be utilized to Texas belie the songwriting and musical nous that’s needed for them to final via many years: the illustrative outro to Black Eyed Boy, obtained gladly by the gang, demonstrates Spiteri’s highly effective voice.
That is adopted up swiftly by Inside Smile – when even Spiteri appears shocked by the viewers’s enthusiasm (“bloody hell!”) – and Say What You Need. The solar comes out for the tip of the latter, concluding a wealthy and rewarding set.
“I simply need to say one factor,” says the famously outspoken Spiteri earlier than her ultimate track. “Emily Eavis is an enormous supporter of feminine musicians, not as a result of she’s ticking a fucking field … She’s placing us on this stage as a result of she thinks we’re fucking superb.”
It’s testomony to Spiteri and Texas’s delicate method and priorities that they select to conclude their time on Glastonbury’s most prized stage with a canopy – certainly, a singalong. “Should you don’t know this, fucking go house!” says Spiteri earlier than launching into Suspicious Minds, a track everyone seems to be at all times joyful to listen to. It’s a becoming conclusion for a band clearly joyful to be right here.

Strolling out to a totally packed tent at your very first Glastonbury does take some critical nerves, and at first, British R&B sensations Flo do seem like bricking it. The opening traces of Not My Job are fairly shaky, however after they discover their footing and people harmonies come out, the outcomes are correctly spectacular, making it clear why they’ve earned their Future’s Grandchildren tag.
Because the set goes on, glints of their character start to indicate, gaining confidence with each sneaky reassuring have a look at each other or tumbled chat with the gang. “We didn’t assume it might be this large!” marvels Stella, whereas Reneè provides some nervous state-the-obvious pivotals: “We’re a lady group, we sing”. It falls to Jorja – the group’s most assertive performer – to tell us that they are going to be singing songs from their debut EP, The Lead.
In a competition set, the samey nature of Flo’s “don’t want no man” method to songwriting feels somewhat uncovered, however there nonetheless are a number of house runs. One other Man, is a beautiful 90s low-key storage ballad within the vein of their idol Brandy, whereas Dropping You – a strong addition to the girlgroup heartbreak ballad ouvre – is elevated by how a lot they’re clearly having fun with taking part in vocal gymnastics, prompting a number of ladies within the entrance rows to snap their fingers and holler “Saaaaaang!” in approval of their skyscraper notes. It opens them up for a Y2K-tastic cowl of Jamelia’s Famous person, earlier than the large end of Fly Lady and Cardboard Field.
The logistics are all on level, and the vocals are actually sensational, however Flo’s ending flourish will probably be after they discover a contact extra looseness, a deeper sense of spontaneous pleasure in their very own apparent skills. With the gang clearly on facet although, they’ll seemingly discover their, ahem, move, quickly sufficient.

A completely large crowd turned up on the Woodsies stage earlier – FKA John Peel – to see Nottingham rapper Bru-C, a ludicrously energetic MC whose ferocious tackle basslines is, absolutely, jolting awake anybody nonetheless attempting to sleep off final evening’s hangover. I’ve felt profoundly listless all morning, however Bru-C’s aggressive, hyper-melodic rap definitely shakes me out of it – even when the 2010s brostep vibes of his manufacturing do sometimes get somewhat too intense to bear.
Judging by the gang, I appear to be alone on that entrance: everybody round me is totally shedding it. I really feel like I’m watching the keynote deal with on the Glastonbury lad conference – I’m surrounded by lads of all creeds and hues, sizes and shapes. I may be the one man right here who’s sporting a shirt; a shirtless baby in a bucket hat subsequent to me has been breakdancing for the whole lot of the set.
After whipping the gang into a completely insane frenzy with TMO (Flip Me On) – a Luude collab which, regardless of being launched lower than two weeks in the past, the complete crowd is aware of – Bru-C takes a second to get actual. “I’ve been battling with psychological sickness for some time,” he says. “I believe it’s necessary to talk about it right here when everybody’s having a superb time, as a result of it’s actual.” The introspective second doesn’t final lengthy: quickly sufficient, he’s main the gang in a sing-a-long of his hit Dawn. The duality of lad! Closing along with his hit You & I, Bru-C matches the sheer euphoria of his crowd, clearly ecstatic about even being right here.
The ChurnUps’ Twitter account – which has been sharing horrible puns for days now – has simply posted this traditional competition question … however the sign-off is what’s attention-grabbing right here:

There are extra youngsters than ever at this 12 months’s Glastonbury, apparently, on account of a post-Covid inflow of rocker/raver infants – and you may definitely see a whole lot of infants strapped to oldsters’ torsos, toddlers asleep in wagons, and older youngsters atop mum’s shoulders to allow them to see the performances on the greater phases.

ADG7 play the West Holts stage at Glastonbury on Friday.
Have you ever ever loved an impromptu Korean lesson in the midst of a Glastonbury set earlier than? No? You’re lacking out. Ak Dan Gwang Chil, AKA ADG7, introduced their amazingly danceable tackle Korean conventional music to the West Holts stage earlier in entrance of a small however extraordinarily enthusiastic crowd. We had two folks taking part in two various kinds of zither. We had a flautist in sun shades completely killing it. We had double-percussion conserving an irrepressible rhythm the entire time, soloed over by about six totally different devices throughout totally different songs. We had three singers, one in a stovepipe hat, chiffon shirt and billowing crimson trousers, and two sporting vibrant paper hats. The viewers was completely alongside for this trip, bouncily swaying from one foot to the opposite, arms aloft.
Everybody performs with jazz-esque fluidity and precision. The vocals – whether or not hovering, chanting, or busting out whip-fast lyrics – are completely on beat, however annoyingly we will’t really hear them for the primary track and a half, because the mics refused to work. Nonetheless, we might nonetheless admire the enviably restrained choreography and brain-blitzingly relentless rhythm. “This subsequent track is a couple of magic spell that may make all of you cheerful!”, we’re advised when the mics lastly begin working once more, and I’m reminded why it’s at all times price going to see a band you’ve by no means heard of at a competition like this.
