Frontman Kieran Shuddall remained jovial throughout and led the band through songs such as ‘Young Chasers’, ‘Get Away’ and ‘Know One’ as well as new song ‘So Long’. At one point, Shuddall remarked that “Glastonbury is all about collaborations and performing with other artists from across the bill.”

Adding, “Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome to the stage; James Hetfield from Metallica!” Perhaps unsurprisingly, the frontman of tonight’s headline band did not emerge to join the band on recent single ‘Stuck In My Teeth.’

Banksy’s latest art piece is doing the rounds of the festival. Titled ‘Sirens of the Lambs’ the artwork is a truck stuffed with cuddly toy sheep squealing. Peta obviously love it.

Fat White Family were clearly feeling the heat of their well-attended 3pm at the John Peel stage – three out of the six members, including frontman Lias Saoudi, were stripped down to just their shorts or trousers from the off.
