Following ‘Reservoir’ he joked that, “It’s very nice to be here, headlining Glastonbury in 2014. “We aim to make it worth it,” frontman Joseph Mount told the crowd as he thanked them for turning out. Arriving on stage in their customary pristine white suits, the band opened with ‘Holiday’ before going into ‘Radio Ladio’. Metronomy closed the Park Stage with a well-attended set in spite of clashes with Skrillex, M.I.A, and Arcade Fire. Towards the end he asked the audience to crouch on the floor before jumping up and saying, “Glastonbury is my favourite place in the world!” “If you’re alive tonight on this beautiful night let me hear you scream my name!” he told the crowd. Visuals flashed up in response to the music, from unicorns to hamburgers, aliens to screaming babies and vintage cars to balls with teeth.
‘Wild For The Night’, his track for A$AP Rocky, and ‘DJ, Ease My Mind’, with Niki & The Dove, were both played, as were snippets and samples of Salt ‘N’ Pepa’s ‘Push It’ and ‘Pharoahe Monch’s ‘Simon Says’ among others.ĭressed in black, Skrillex jumped around the stage, running to and from and up and around the multi-levelled tank.
The setlist comprised short bursts and longer versions from tracks from debut album ‘Recess’ (2014) as well as his previous EPs. Skrillex‘s headline slot at the Other Stage began 20 minutes late, and a giant digital clock counted down his entrance before a curtain dropped to reveal the producer/DJ in his spaceship tank.
