Just look at that crowd, listen to those tunes, mimic that sax and then tell me he wouldn't do top spot on the Pyramid justice.

 

Of all three acts heavily touted, he's the one I'm most confident in knocking out the crowd, and that's saying something given Olivia Rodrigo has the big singles and The 1975 have an immaculate live show.

It was a hugely cathartic moment.


After the previous two years of sh*t, the buzz in the air at that festival just felt different. 
 

It was the usual Glasto feeling plus 20%.

We took our spot about 20 metres or so in front of the big tree at the back of the field, as I looked around I had this huge wave of emotion. 

Finally, we were back. 

We had a group of 20 or so Geordies to our right, in full on party mode. 
 

Sam and the band brought their A game, the sun was going down behind the best stage in the world and everyone in that field was lapping it up. 

In my top 5 Glasto moments.

I think it's very hard to see someone doing justice on a stage if you've no interest in them.

Agree with all of this, the setting and timing were absolutely perfect for him.  I’m soppy too as you could see how much it meant to him so just made it all the better

Agreed. When you can see how much it means to an act, it also serves to amplify things.


Wolf Alice that year another huge example of that. 
 

The Streets and Barry Can’t Swim this year. 
 

Crowd connection is key.
