Best Cover at Glastonbury 2024

[gigpusher]

So every year we always get some nice covers. What were everyone's favourites this year?

 

I think my favourite would have to be Newdad doing Just Like Heaven. It was a beautiful version.

the farm doing 'the bankrobber' was very good

Yep this is mine. 

 

Runner up goes to Romy doing Ariana Grande which is not a mix I ever thought I'd like but it was a vibe. 

 

(this might be a remix rather than a cover but I thought she'd sung it live...I was drunk maybe she didn't)

Disclosure dropping what appeared to be a straight cover of insomnia for no reason other than it is a absolute banger 

 

haven’t watched it back so prob find I imagined this now ha 

[Skip997]

Not a cover as such, but Honey Dijon mixing Ain’t Nobody 

[The Other Steve]

Staves doing 'You're still the one' was excellent. Probably better than Shania.

[Ayrshire Chris]

Judy Collins singing Mr Tambourine Man in the Acoustic. Prior to singing it she told the story about being in the next room to Dylan, listening to him composing the song.

100% this.

 

Moment of the festival for me, the joy in that field for those 5 minutes was off the chain.

No regrets seeing Justice, but Judy Collins must have been special.

I listened to that standing in a water queue, it was really lovely ☺️

Yes really was a special moment. Just Judy and her guitar and a keyboard player. No iPads with music, just paper sheet music in front of her, and between songs an anecdote as she retuned her guitar.

Russell Crowes Indoor Garden Party's  version of Dire Straits Romeo and Juliet was brilliant, and I don't usually like covers!

[CaledonianGonzo]

Not technically a cover, really, but The Manfreds doing Build Me Up Buttercup got the Newport Helicopters going.

[Avalon_Fields]

I’ll go for Lulu’s version of The Man Who Sold The World. As I don’t recall any covers elsewhere she did a few I could add: Heat Wave, I’m Still Standing, etc

I thought that doing the Macca and Lennon duet thing was a little bit cheeky.

[Johnnyseven]

A bit tenuous but Orbital doing Spicy i.e. Wannabe) with Mel C.

 

Romy dropped bits of a few old trance tunes into her set too.

[crumbler]

Hardly an underplayed song but Remi Wolf did a solid version of Valerie.

 That Ariana Grande cover/mix is mixed with 1998 - Binary Finary. Very nice. 

[Wooderson]

Another vote for Judy. Her take on "Suzanne" was fab.

Think there was a bit of You're Not Alone and Not Over Yet too and possibly others.

Controversial opinion, but 1999 is better 😀

Yes that only didn't win for me because I'm not a great fan of the original.

 

Lulu did also do some great covers and the David Bowie duet was a lovely moment for me.

[gigpusher]

Seeing all the comments about Judy Collins does make me regret that choice slightly I would love to have heard her do Both Sides Now in lieu of Joni.

[Monty Pythagoras]

Paloma Faith did Back to Black I think
