Rina Sawayama appears to call out The 1975 frontman Matty Healy over podcast debate
Saturday (24 June) at Glastonbury Festival ended in remarkable style when Lana Del Rey’s set was cut, after she showed up on the Woodsies phase thirty minutes late.
Billed to carry out while headliners Guns N’ Roses were playing the Pyramid Stage, the United States pop artist kept fans waiting method past her scheduled time of 10.30pm. She lastly showed up, and later on appeared to blame the hold-up on her hair.
Drama appeared to be the order of business. Earlier, Japanese-British artist appeared to call out her label-mate, The 1975 frontman Matty Healy, for a questionable podcast interview that consisted of a variety of negative remarks about ladies and Asian individuals.
Meanwhile, Scottish singer-songwriter Lewis Capaldi was required to cut his own set early due to singing problems, however received huge assistance from the countless individuals who sang together with him. Later, Lizzo charmed with a jaw-dropping efficiency of a few of her most significant hits, consisting of “Boys” and “Watch Out for the Big Grrrls”.
The night prior to, Arctic Monkeys required to the celebration’s primary phase, marking the 3rd time the Sheffield-formed band have actually headlined the celebration. Brighton-based rock duo Royal Blood carried out on the primary phase 3 weeks after their questionable gig at BBC Radio 1’s Biggest Weekend in May. Read Jazz Monroe’s two-star evaluation here.

Guns N’ Roses evaluation, Glastonbury 2023: Frontrunners for the worst Glasto heading set of perpetuity
If Noel Gallagher’s wading into a Glastonbury headliner dispute, you understand matters are taking a substantial turn. Back in 2008, Noel was “not having” Jay-Z headlining; this year, indie music’s sagest analyst discovers it “crazy s***” that Guns N’ Roses are topping Saturday night’s costs. And this time, instead of his remarks being brushed like dirt from the shoulder of development, he has a point.
After 15 strong years of expanding the cultural remit of Britain’s most famous celebration, reservation Guns N’ Roses is Glastonbury’s most significant backwards mis-step considering that Mumford & Sons. The celebration might have honoured an abundant and prominent songbook, like those of the Pyramid Stage’s other heritage heroes Paul McCartney, Elton, Bowie or The Rolling Stones. But from the minute GN’R get here – with uncharacteristic punctuality – to corny, cartoonish visuals of skulls in Slash hats, they represent whatever dated, rockist, indulgent and macho that Glastonbury has actually declined considering that its beginning.

Too cool to enjoy these acts ten years earlier? This year’s Glastonbury is for you
They’re older, however that’s okay!” Bill, a 22-year-old from Bristol, is informing me his ideas on Guns N’ Roses, this year’s Saturday night headliner at Glastonbury Festival, and a band possibly more ancient than the Sphinx. Bill, however, is unbothered. “You gotta have something for everyone, you know what I mean?” He’s en path to see his favorite anyhow. “Everyone’s seeing Fred Again, mate.” I nod nicely.
No one can implicate this year’s Glastonbury of being the most cutting edge of occasions. Arctic Monkeys, Friday’s headliner, have actually long remained in their senior statesmen period, while Elton John, headlining Sunday, is a genius however one who was most likely at his peak in 1973. This is likewise simply another stop on his goodbye trip (although he has actually guaranteed a completely various set), and absolutely nothing screams dance-floor mood-killer quicker than impending retirement. But as I make my method through crowds upon crowds of teens spilling through Worthy Farm as if Lord of the Flies met The Belles of St Trinian’s and everybody was using Day-Glo sunglasses, I understand this is a location developed on particular sort of fond memories anyhow. The age of the headliners is unimportant when you’re on the ground.
