Today I learned quite a number of things related to the Glastonbury Festival.

Because we still like to celebrate even though we tend to stay in for holidays, we watched it over the last couple days. I enjoyed the majority of it and learned a couple new things along the way.

  • Lola Young's Aunt[^1] writes children's books that outsell JK Rowling
  • Kneecap have a movie[^2] where they play themselves
  • Rod Stewart's first band[^3] was with two members of Fleetwood Mac and then his second was with two members of Led Zeppelin.
  • The keyboardist form Pulp[^4] has severe arthritis

There's a bunch of good stuff in there and here are a couple highlights which I clip down under just as a reference to the originals which I've listed below.

Common People - Pulp - Glastonbury 2025

Messy - Lola Young - Glastonbury 2025

Take Me Out - Franz Ferdinand - Glastonbury 2025

Breath - The Prodigy - Glastonbury 2025



Here are my picks:
