Special guests

As befits festivals, the musicians in the lineup often bring surprises to their festival performances. And for a festival like Glastonbury, artists often dig deeper to forge great collaborations.

The reveal brought none other than Sam Smith to work together Penetration hit “latch”. But superstar Dua Lipa brought it, too Radical optimism Producer Kevin Parker (yes, that guy who works alone in Tame Impala) is on stage. Because she really wanted to “pretend she was in Tame Impala.” They’re not singing Dua Lipa’s song together, but they’re doing it. The famous song “The less I know the better”. Or Jimmy xx, the current holder of 3FM Megahit, who suddenly has his own world-famous band Twenty reunion. The collaboration seems to be continuing.

But the highlight came from Coldplay, who brought their hero (and reason for becoming a band in the first place) to the stage. Actor Michael J. Fox, known, among others, as Back to the future Trilogy, who has Parkinson’s disease and is therefore no longer able to dance and move as he used to. But in a wheelchair, he can play “Fix You” on his guitar. The end result is so incredibly beautiful that you have to experience it in its entirety.
