Sunday 28th June 2015
Hozier played the Pyramid stage early afternoon on Sunday.
Hozier found fame with “Take Me to Church”, which he closed the set with, but
his set saw Hozier cement a positive and hopeful future in terms of the
direction he is going in. His set meant that he was able to attract new fans
with his calming tones and catchy songs. It was loved by Worthy Farm and very
well received by the audience. It proved the complexity of his voice and
amazing variation of his songs beyond “that song”. His singing was calming and
his voice is powerful. Hozier is one to keep an eye on in the future as his
voice is classic and timeless.
Lionel Richie played Worthy Farm for the first time on
Sunday 28th June. He played the legends slot. His voice was
virtually pitch perfect and his appreciation for his 100,000+ crowd made the
set seem somewhat better and extremely natural. He played a selection of songs
including the infamous “Hello” (which its lyrics appeared on many flags seen
throughout the weekend), “All Night Long” and “Dancing on the Ceiling”. The
crowd enjoyed his set as his voice and extensive song collection appealed to
the masses- no matter what generation you are from. It was definitely a special
moment for Glastonbury and did what the Glastonbury Legends Slot is meant to
do. His set delivered well known songs of loved classics and songs you could
dance and sing to.
Alt- J graced the Pyramid Stage early evening on Sunday. The
band played a selection of hits from both their albums and closed with arguably
their most famous song, “Breezeblocks”. Their set included many upbeat songs
and made the audience feel as though they were experiencing the music with them
through the occasional electronic beats and large variety of songs. It proved
their future headliner potential as it gained a large audience in its own right
after having to follow Lionel Richie’s 100,000-120,000 person deep crowd and
proved that different types of music can be as popular as the generic ‘pop’
music of today. Subsequently, it’s probable that we’ll be seeing a lot more of
Alt-J over the next few years as their conquest into stardom is only just
getting started.
