On Saturday, there was a night of four headlines in Glastonbury, with fans, the pop Queen Charlie XCX, Rock Legend Neil Young, Disco Scamps faced a cruel option between scissors sisters and Doche – Rap’s newest voice,
Charlie XCX won the largest audience, closed the second phase and turned it to a laser lit club night.
Young, topping the bill on the pyramid stage, also gave an all-time hit set, with cinnamon girl and hut-like hit, with rubbed versions of the hit.
The docch, who played for only 45 minutes, still managed to mark himself as a future headliner; While the scissors sisters brought the real Gandalaf Sir Ian McClen out to light the invisible light.
Thanks to one of the most crammed line-ups in the history of the festival.
Let’s start with Charlie XCX.
Using the budget of the entire smoke machine of the festival, she was alone on the stage all night, but a constant speed, hair toss, stomach crunchy and a knee-smelled spot.
He opened his set with 360 mash-ups and von Dutch, which is two from the standout track from the previous summer culture-superior Brat album, as the record logo burst into the flames behind him-it shows that she is slowly coming with leaving it behind.
Despite rumors that she will bring out a host of special guests, the Lord does not appear to be a couple on the girl, so confuse, and Billy Elish number one smash, disappeared by estimates.
The only famous face we found was Gracie Abrams, which appeared on the big screen to perform the “Apple Dance” that went viral on Tikok last year.
Fans were disappointed in a moment, but the dirty glory of tracks such as club classics or sympathy is a knife.
At the end of her set, she loved it to me – the bubblegum pop anthem she donated to Econa Pop in 2012, assuring fans that she was not really ready to go to her success album, after all.
“I think all of you have proved for me that Brat is forever,” a message has been given on the video screen because the music mess disintegrated into siren sounds and the fireworks exploded.
“And honestly, I don’t know who I am if it is over.”
So it has been decided: Charlie can return after the fall of Glastonbury in 2026 and can give the title again.
The set of Neil Young was a very different, but equally, proposed.
The winding alone went on stage, to play a flickering acoustic version of the classic sugar mountain, hurdled by a cordroy cap with her face.
But this was a clever wrong.
His new band, The Chrome Hearts, immediately joined him, launched in a fierce furore of guitar anthems – B the Rain, Cinnamon Girl and O O O, Mary Mary – filled with mild cords and intense soleos.
When they came back into acoustic mode to the needle and swoop the crowd for damage and harvesting of the moon; And when Young announced that he was playing the role of Hank Williams’s old guitar (a battered and worn acoustic) on Crossbie, Stills, Nash and Young Song.
The star may be 79 years old, but his voice is still unusually gentle and young, cutting with crystalline clarity at night, and close to chrome hearts is incited with harmony.
They were in their best on heavy content – especially like a storm, whose time -shocking guitar single was a revelation. Young is always very happy to play that special song, and was mesmerized to see it.
He finished his hatred with tears, politicians and a vandalism of the war machine, which is with the cruelty of the modern world contrary to the 1960s idealism.
Both a protest song and a mourning for human nature, it was a powerful way to eliminate a peerless set.
Dochi attracted a large crowd at the West Holts Stage – including the pop star Harry Styles, who danced on his brief set in the middle of the ground, unbalanced by fans.
Florida-born rapper, both known as the marshy princess, sang, rap, dance and changed outfits several times, in a show, which was a lesson in the history of hip-hop.
His flow was innocent on the brakeout track, such as anxiety, refusal is a river and replaces the ego – and he rebuilt a popular social media clip from this year’s Met Gala, where she was demanding “more chhatris” to cover her body, as she changed outfits.
She was assisted by her eight dancers, who landed on the props descending in a slide, twiring and even Vogan.
In the last one year, the emergence of the docchi has been no less than unprecedented and, while the fans waited for his debut album, this sleek, Bespok Glstonbury performance, felt like a new wing in his hat.
Meanwhile, the scissors sisters continued their reunioning by packing the tent of woodsis for a set, reminding everyone that how many classics they write – I do not feel as dirty/grand/grands.
Beth Ditto included him for the latter, while Jesse Ware took a festive airs through the II Donte Fil Like Dancen, and Sir Ian McClen re -made his monologue with a single invisible light of 2010.
As he stood in wings, Fans started chanting “Oh, Ian McClen” Consumption of white strips to the tune of the Nation Army, to which the actor held his hands on his face in shock.
What happened earlier?
Although the confrontation between acts was difficult, none of them had to face ignorance of a small crowd.
Charlie certainly had the largest audience and while the Young set began with a thin-to-normal crowd on the stage of the pyramid, people swept away during the first 15 minutes-and most of them who got stuck with them.
Earlier in the day, the Kaiser heads opened the main platform, which came out for the walks (not) of the walk the dinosaurs.
Was this a reference to self-growth for their advance age? Who knows. But 20 years later, every day songs like every day I love you less and less and I predict a riot that looks fresh as usual.
American country singer Brandi Carlil was also a revelation for most of the audience.
A huge star at home, this country never had the top 40 albums, until he released Elton John cooperation, which believes in angels in this April.
Despite his early afternoon slot, he conquered the crowd with a grand cover of the radiohead’s fake plastic trees, and inspired some tears with me without me, inspired some tears with acoustic Gathagit, which reflects his daughter’s rocky teen years.
By the end of the set, she was at the end of a supporting mantra of “Ole, Ole, Ole”.
“It’s official,” said Carlil. “I have now played the biggest festival on Earth … and it took me only 44 years to do it.”
Jade attracted a large crowd on the stage of Woods, its 17 -year pop experience is a clever, filled with pop Bengers with high concept; It also contains an exciting medley of its old bands, Little Mix songs.
And Ray found one of the biggest audiences of the day on the pyramid stage. Supported by a miniature orchestra, she put a jazi spin on hits such as You Deont No Me Me, Oscar winning tears and its prize winner psychodrama escapeism.
The singer played the same platform two years ago near the bottom of the bill, before his career enjoyed a remarkable change, concluded in the records of six British awards.
“When I came here I was very nervous,” the singer said, who had previously accepted his voice was “a little bit”.
“Now I think there is a house here and I don’t want to leave.”
Ray inherited his audience from a “secret” set by pulp, which was billed as patchwork, someone was fooled.
The bands were to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the headline performance in 1995 when they were booked at the last time to replace stone roses.
Frontman Jarvis Cocker said, “We had only 10 days notice,” we were so nervous.
“But today I feel very relaxed.”
The Ham Park had special guests on the stage, who attracted a humble crowd to take his rhythmic on the classic rock. The highlights included the opener The Wire (a song he wrote in 2008!), Gasoline’s Sleesy Drain and Relationships Party-Jam R&B.
After his performance on the stage of West Holts, there was a part of the day dispute, courtesy of Rap Trio Caikap and punk-rap band Bob Valn.
Police say they are assessing the video of the comments made by both acts, who criticized the UK government and Israel’s works in Gaza during constant, politically charged sets.
The drama on the second stage was – the second largest region of the festival – when Difton had to be taken out due to the disease.
A quick ring around the site corrected the difference in the schedule, with the UK Rap supremo Scapta put on an impromptu performance.
“No crew, no production, but I am ready to shut down Glstonbury,” he posted on social media ahead of the show. “Vijay Lap Time.”
He was the first to the Mercury Award winner Ezra Collective, whose life was confirmed by Jazz and Afrobate Grooves from special guests including Loil Corner and Sasha Cable.
Under the leadership of drummer Fammy Colasso, they brought a carnival atmosphere to the field, in which the audience was made a place to make a place for each other, shake, and usually make their organs a place, because the sun was placed in a worthy farm.
“You practice your whole life for just a second, which can feel so,” Chulaso said with coming out of the stage.
“Sometimes we are actually in these really negative bubbles, where it likes, we all hate each other, we are all divided. But sometimes you simply need to go to Glstonbury and see that it is a myth.
“Love for each other and each other and respect for our neighbors, it exists, and it is a special thing that it should be soundtrack.”
The festival continues on Sunday with the performance of Rod Stewart, Chic, Wolf Alice, Joy Crux and Pyramid Stage Headlineer Olivia Rodrigo.
