Taking over the Pyramid Stage on Saturday evening, RAYE immediately made a statement with a preview of brand new music backed by a brass band. While little is known of the massive tune, she sang over its chorus: “Baby, where the hell is my husband? / Where the hell is my lover?”

Raye by far the best act of #Glastonbury so far. About 10 different genres, and they all slap. Get her headling next year.

Friday at Glastonbury saw The 1975 headline the Pyramid Stage, earning a four-star review from NME, which read: “With their one show of the year, “The 1975 from the Internet” clear the decks on their career so far to deliver a reminder of their chops for tunes and showmanship away from the headlines.”
The weekend continues with Charli XCX, Skepta – who’s filling in on short notice for Deftones who are unable to perform due to illness, Olivia Rodrigo, The Prodigy, Rod Stewart and many more. Check out the full line-up and schedule here.
In other news, the BBC have also confirmed that they will be streaming Neil Young‘s headline set, after all while Kneecap’s set was removed from the live-stream schedule at the last minute and will instead be made available as an on-demand clip later on.
