Top 3 cover versions heard at Glastonbury 2023

[Fingerbobs]

And the Toyah Wilcox and Robert Fripp set was a run through of mostly classic 70s rock with the chance to see the creator of the Heroes wailing guitar play it in full a great moment.

Killer - Adamski by the Editors

This was huge. Massive sound and it fitting the act perfectly.

Does Tom Grennan coming out and singing When You’re Gone with Mel C count? 

Because it was amazing. 

I mean, IT was amazing but he was bloody awful.

Rick Astley drumming and singing Highway To Hell is probably my favourite moment of the whole festival. 

Texas doing Suspicious Minds was brilliant.

Also, Jake Shears doing Comfortably Numb was an unexpected treat. Only sort of counts as it is an established cover version, but if Pinball Wizard counts so does this!

[2019]

Anthony Szmierek doing Sugababes.

Vlure playing God is a DJ on Thursday night. Place was jumping for the whole gig, PA looked close to toppling over with the bounce....

I thought this was great but I found the crowd were a bit flat for it for some reason.

This is essential iplayering if you’ve not seen it, absolutely nailed it

Crivenny! I was so exhausted after and so desperate to get to Elton that I entirely forgot that. That was brilliant! 

[BookAngel]

Lizzo gave us a bit of Yellow as a tribute to Coldplay - I'm glad she didn't play it in full as we were there to hear HER songs, but it sounded great.

[Ayrshire Chris]

Hobo Jones ‘covering’ yellow was funny

Rick Astley,  highway to hell

GNR live and let die

Can't remember hearing a single straight cover all weekend.

But Kelis and her band did some fantastic "mash-ups"

Milkshake/Gravel Pit was an absolute moment of magic, bloody hell i couldnt stop my arse from shaking and i am not a dancing type at all

[mungo57]

1) Rick Astley singing and drumming Highway to Hell

2) GnR - knocking on heavens door - sh*t on UYI but a banger live

3) Elton opening with Pinball Wizard

 

as a result of seeing Rick Astley I’m now seriously considering going to see him on my birthday at Royal Albert Hall he was so much fun.

Came on to say this - they were great. Was not expecting Enter Sandman 😳 Thought they chose well for both her voice and the band.

Amazing gig and great moment ! I thought the floor of the Bread & Roses would break eventually 😄

[SighMo]

We only ended up at SEB because Japanese Breakfast cancelled last minute. Was worth it though for some cheesy dancing with the group in the sun. Like a Prayer had a few of us with wet cheeks.

Comfortably Numb, Jake Shears at Avalon. Great set 💃🕺
