Ellise Shafer Having come of age in the Tumblr indie sleaze era of the early 2010s, I’d always wanted to go to Glastonbury Festival. My mood boards were littered with photos of Alexa Chung traversing Worthy Farm’s muddy grounds wearing a mini skirt and wellies, and I fantasized about being part of the seemingly miles-long, flag-laden crowd that got to watch an iconic British band like Arctic Monkeys or Blur light up the Pyramid stage. So, when I moved from L.A.

Scottish singer-songwriter Lewis Capaldi said Tuesday that he’s taking a break from touring for the foreseeable future as he seeks to adjust to the impact of Tourette syndrome.His announcement follows his Saturday performance at the Glastonbury Festival where he appeared to lose his voice and the crowd carried him through his songs.“First of all, thank you to Glastonbury for having me, for singing along when I needed it and for all the amazing messages afterwards,” he said in a statement.“The fact that this probably won’t come as a surprise doesn’t make it any easier to write, but I’m very sorry to let you know I’m going to be taking a break from touring for the foreseeable future,” he added.Tourette syndrome is a neurological disorder that causes individuals to make involuntary sounds and movements, often referred to as tics. Capaldi revealed last September that he had been diagnosed with the condition.Capaldi, 26, was due to perform in Zurich, Switzerland on Wednesday.His current tour, which would include venues in Australia, South Korea and Iceland among others, was due to climax in the United Arab Emirates on Oct.

Glastonbury Festival on Friday, Foo Fighters took the Pyramid Stage for a surprise appearance that marked the band’s first appearance at the English extravaganza since 2017.It was also the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame band’s first full show in the UK since the death of their beloved drummer, Taylor Hawkins, in 2022.Although there were rumors that the ChurnUps were actually the Foos, it wasn’t confirmed until a tweet about an hour before their set.“You guys knew it was us the whole time, didn’t you?” said Foo frontman Dave Grohl. “It’s nice to see your faces again.”And then Foo Fighters launched into an hour-long set that included hits such as “All My Life,” “Learn to Fly,” “The Pretender” and “Best Of You” as well as short covers of Metallica’s “Enter Sandman,” Black Sabbath’s “Paranoid” and the Beastie Boys’ “Sabotage.”“We’ve only got one hour so we gotta make sure we fit in all the songs we can,” said Grohl. The set included a slow, stripped-down version of “My Hero” that many felt was a tribute to Hawkins, who actually received an official dedication on “Everlong.”But he wasn’t the only dearly departed loved one that the Foo Fighters remembered at Glastonbury.

next week’s Glastonbury Festival in Somerset, England, with her longtime band, Blondie, and she wouldn’t have it any other way. “We’re still playing music and being creative and that’s the essence of it all, isn’t it?” she told The Times of London Friday. Harry, who has been fronting Blondie since 1974 save for a 15-year hiatus between 1982 and 1997, will play Glastonbury for the third time on Sunday, between Yusuf/Cat Stevens and Lil Nas X. The band performed in 1999 and 2014, and the fashion icon fondly remembers what she wore for her inaugural show. “The first time I was wearing an Elsa Schiaparelli hat, so I think I was very happy about that. It was red flowers on a straw bucket, and I thought I was really chic.” Harry also recalled a very punk-rock moment on one of the Glastonbury trips — when her bandmates broke into Stonehenge. “The boys were all very excited, and they climbed over the fence, ran over and touched the stone,” the “Heart of Glass” singer said.
