SEVENTEEN have been spotted performing covers of AdeleBruno Mars and more at a restaurant in Bath – watch fan-filmed footage down below.

The 13-piece boyband made the surprise appearance at Square Grill in the city centre, fresh off the backs of their historic Glastonbury debut. SEVENTEEN became the first K-pop act to perform at the festival ever as they took to the Pyramid Stage yesterday (June 28).

But it appears the boys weren’t done performing just yet. They stopped by the restaurant in Bath, where member Woozi opted to step into the restaurant’s live music corner. Accompanied by a pianist, he took on vocal duty for Mars’ ‘When I Was Your Man’, and Michael Jackson’s ‘Man In The Mirror’, whilst Seungkwan sang his rendition of Calum Scott‘s ‘You Are The Reason’ and Adele staple ‘Someone Like You’.

Fans have since reacted to the news on social media, expressing shock and amusement. One posted a series of crying emojis, commenting that it was the “restaurant I went to for my graduation meal”, whilst another simply wrote: “These middle-aged women don’t know what just happened to them”.

Check out SEVENTEEN’s covers and a number of fan reactions below:

 

 

 

 

 

In a five-star review of SEVENTEEN’s Glastonbury debutNME wrote: “Earlier in the afternoon, when Glastonbury is still just getting acquainted with SEVENTEEN, Joshua makes a sage point. “Language isn’t a barrier,” he tells the crowd. “We can connect through song.”

“That’s something the group demonstrate throughout their time on the Pyramid, but perhaps no stronger than in the final two numbers. ‘God Of Music’ has the crowd chanting the hook, drawing out the anthemic joy that courses through the track.”

“‘Very Nice’, meanwhile, brings a playful and utterly exuberant close to proceedings, the boyband bringing their tradition of delivering repeated, energetic reprises of the chorus to the festival as they whip up the audience one last time. As SEVENTEEN say thank you in both Korean and English, they launch into one final round of the infectious refrain, their mark well and truly made on one of the biggest festivals in the world.”

NME spoke to the boyband about their Glastonbury debut, with Seungkwan calling it “such an honour, we’re super grateful. Some of the audience members might not know us that well, but we just hope that everyone would leave with the impression that these guys can really smash it on stage.”

Social media reacts to Shania Twain set at Glastonbury 2024

Shania Twain has taken over the Pyramid stage at this year’s edition Glastonbury Festival and social media has been reacting to her performance.

The country icon performed the coveted legend’s slot at the annual music bash at Worthy Farm. Previously sharing that she wanted to “borrow” a horse for her performance, Twain arrived with a group of drag queens all holding up toy horses.

There was a massive turnout for her set. Hundreds of thousands made their way to the Pyramid stage to see her play. She opened with her 1997 hit ‘That Don’t Impress Me Much’.

Upon singing the first lines of the track, fans and viewers took to X/Twitter to express their concern over Twain’s singing. “Watching Shania Twain delivering a mediocre performance of That Don’t Impress Me Much at Glastonbury and trying to think of a witty way to tweet my feelings about it,” wrote one user.

However, other fans seemed to enjoy Shania’s performance, with one user writing: “Great set by Shania, very enjoyable.”

Though many were confused about the livestream’s sound during the singer’s set at the music festival, others were in awe of her performance. “Shania Twain looks incredible some dodgy notes here and there but what a performer! So many bangers,” wrote one user.

Another user shared that Twain sounded amazing live and BBC should look into what went on during the live stream. “Anyway in better news, Shania actually sounded amazing live for people who were actually there so bbc need to fire someone asap,” they wrote.

 

 

 

 

 

In a three-star review of her Glasto performanceNME shared: “You can’t argue with the songs, her voice or the way her guitarists shred their axes, though. The rumoured Harry Styles appearance obviously doesn’t come off, but there’s enough camp to go around when she hams up it during an acapella section of ‘You’re Still the One’ and her fiddle player absolutely loses it during ‘Any Man of Mine’. By the time she inevitably closes with ‘Man! I Feel Like A Woman!’ and pink flares stream across a field full of cowboys and gals belting it out karaoke-style (“Man’s shirts! Short skirt!”), you’d have to admit she’s revved the crowd up pretty well.”

In other Glastonbury news, Paloma Faith paid tribute to Amy Winehouse with a cover ‘Back To Black’ during her performance at the Pyramid stage. Elsewhere, fans have been sharing their love for Gossip following their eruptive set at Glastonbury – which saw them call out the US government.

Still set to come this weekend at Glastonbury 2024 are performances from SZA, Janelle Monae, The National, Two Door Cinema Club, Avril Lavigne, Justice, Nia Archives, James Blake, Alvvays, Romy and more.

Coldplay‘s electric headlining set on Saturday scored them a four-star reviewLittle Simz‘s Pyramid performance marked her bid as a future headliner, while Camila Cabello turned in a chaotic performance.
