Jamie xx was joined by The xx bandmates Romy and Oliver Sim during his Glastonbury 2024 set.

The trio reunited on the Woodsies Stage yesterday (June 28) when the ‘In Waves’ producer led his set into ‘Waited All Night’, a track off his forthcoming sophomore album that features both Romy and Sim.

They went on to perform Jamie xx’s 2009 rework of Florence + the Machine‘s ‘You’ve Got the Love’, which itself a cover of the classic 1986 house song by The Source and Candi Staton. Before they took their leave, fans also watched Romy and Sims take part in a group hug with Jamie.

Social media users on Twitter/X shared their excitement at the reunion of the indie pop trio, who last performed together as a band in 2018. “That set was unbelievable from Jamie xx,” tweeted X user @L18SDL. “Those who witnessed that at Glastonbury were very lucky.”

Romy is also set to perform a set on the Woodsies Stage on Sunday (June 30).

 

 

 

 

 

 

Towards the end of his set, Jamie xx was also joined by Robyn, who arrived to perform their song ‘Life’.

Both ‘Life’ and ‘Waited All Night’ are taken from ‘In Waves’, the newest album by Jamie xx due for release on September 20.

In March, Romy shared with NME an update about a new album by The xx. “We’ve been in the studio since I last spoke to NME and we’re in the studio again next week, so we’re meeting up regularly,” she told us at the BRITs. “It’s been really good. I think we’ve all spent time apart and it’s healthy to miss each other.”

Jamie xx will host a huge homecoming show at Alexandra Palace in London on September 26 to launch ‘In Waves’. The gig has since sold out, and another date at the same venue has been confirmed for the day before (September 25).

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 performance, NME 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 review. Little Simz‘s Pyramid performance marked her bid as a future headliner, while Camila Cabello turned in a chaotic performance.
