There’s always a lot of anticipation surrounding Glastonbury, and this year’s festival was worth the wait. Festivalgoers witnessed many unforgettable moments at the Pyramid Stage this year, and here are five that got everyone talking.

Elton John’s Epic Farewell

Elton John created a lot of buzz for his last UK show and delivered an epic set that spanned several decades of his career, featuring surprise appearances from the likes of The Killers’ Brandon Flowers to Rina Sawayama.

Foo Fighters’ Secret Set

Mystery band The ChurnUps was supposed to perform on the Pyramid Stage, and the audience was ecstatic after it turned out this was the alter ego of the beloved rockers Foo Fighters.

Lana Del Rey’s Exit

Many fans of Lana Del Rey were looking forward to her Glastonbury set, but she had to leave the stage early due to the festival’s strict curfew after arriving 30 minutes late.

A-List Guests

From Paul McCartney to Cate Blanchett, many A-listers were in attendance at this year’s Glastonbury, and some of them even went so far as to hit the stage with our favorite bands.

Lewis Capaldi’s Emotional Moment

Lewis Capaldi canceled several concerts leading up to Glastonbury due to the tics caused by Tourette’s syndrome. His symptoms kicked in at Glastonbury and he struggled performing after his voice broke, but the audience lifted him up and sang “Someone You Loved” in his place.

Last year’s music festival season was pretty much non-existent due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and many music lovers held onto the hope they’re going to attend their favorite festivals in 2021. The future of this year’s spring and summer festival season now lingers in the air, as several major festivals announced their cancelation.

Most recently, the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, scheduled to take place this April has been put on hold, together with the Stagecoach Country Music Festival. This is the third time over the course of 12 months that these festivals have been put on hold, and it’s unclear if there’s a possibility they’ll return later this year.

Coachella isn’t the first world-famous festival to be canceled in the past few weeks. The same goes for Glastonbury Festival, Britain’s largest pop event. This legendary festival marked its 50th-anniversary last year, without a live event due to its cancelation.

Since Glastonbury and Coachella happen to be two of the biggest festivals in Europe and the US, could they set the tone for the rest of the festival season? Some other festivals are still preparing to go ahead because they require much less preparation than these two, but their cancelation sent shock waves through the music community and left us doubting the future of other similar events.
