CMAT shouts ‘Free Palestine' and wades into Glastonbury crowd during lively set
The musician, real name Ciara Mary-Alice Thompson, 29, played songs from her back catalogue as well as new singles, including Take A Sexy Picture Of Me, from her forthcoming third studio album Euro-Country. Plenty of festivalgoers could be seen doing the viral dance to the song, which has taken social media by storm in recent months. Kicking off her set with Have Fun! the singer, who wore an all-purple ensemble with white boots, sang while lying flat on the floor before getting to her feet and shouting: 'Glasto!' The musician, who blends pop and rock with folk and country influences, performed from her back catalogue, receiving rapturous applause while singing hits including I Don't Really Care For You. The singer also encouraged fans to dance along to the 'Dunboyne County Meath two-step' while singing I Wanna Be A Cowboy, Baby! 'I think we might be about to break a personal record for the very sexy CMAT band,' she told crowds. 'We've never attempted it (the dance) with this many people so I'm a little scared,' the singer added. Introducing herself, she told crowds: 'My name is CMAT and I'm literally just a young one from Dunboyne/Dublin, depending who you ask.' 'This is the scariest moment of my life but it will probably singlehandedly be the best and most amazing thing I'll ever do,' she added. Towards the end of her set, she waded into the crowd to sing her popular song Stay For Something and chanted 'Free Palestine' in reference to the ongoing war in Gaza. CMAT released her debut album, If My Wife New I'd Be Dead, in 2022, and followed it up with Mercury Prize-nominated Crazymad, For Me in 2023. Her third studio album is set for release on August 29.

Denise Welch shows glam Glasto accommodation ahead of son Tom's headline show
Loose Women presenter Denise Welch is looking forward to watching her son Matty Healy headline at Glastonbury and gave a sneak peek at her luxury accommodation Denise Welch is every bit the proud mother as she awaits son Matty Healy's Glastonbury headline. Matty and The 1975 are set to headline the Pyramid Stage from 10.15pm tonight and have 'pulled out all the stops' to ensure it is one to remember. And now his Loose Women presenter mum Denise has revealed her accommodation in the build-up to the honour. Taking to her Instagram Stories on Friday, she admitted she "can't quite believe it" as she shared a clip of Matty performing. Alongside a number of party emojis, she labelled the day: "Glastonbury Day." Denise, who shares Matty with ex-husband Tim Healy, then joked Matty's stepdad - Denise's current partner Lincoln Townley - was "preparing". She had earlier admitted she's not a fan of festivals - and had ruled out camping. She instead opted for a more comfortable nights rest off site. As she showed off their secluded setting in the fields, filled with sunshine and shrubbery, Denise then panned onto her man in a hot tub. Lincoln was then seen donning a wicker cowboy hat as he hanged his feet over the sides of the jacuzzi, which was bubbling away. He told her he was "loving Glastonbury" as he relaxed before she showed herself smiling as she waited her son's big night. Following their preparation, Denise then headed to the festival and loved showing off the flags in her honour. While some simply shared her name, others had a huge image of her face as they were waved up high. And she shared a sweet snap of "Glasto chicks" as she re-shared Zoe Ball's upload. The radio host admitted she had been sobbing while watching Lewis Capaldi's surprise set before bumping into Denise. Denise previously admitted she was "stressing out" ahead of her son's appearance. "I've not really been a festival bunny - I don't really do festivals,' confessed Denise, 67, in a chat with The Mirror. "The only one I've been to is Coachella. It was all VIP and very lovely. Hot, sunny and gorgeous and I thought 'Oh, this is okay'. And no one stays there, everyone goes home at the end of the night. I am stressed about Glastonbury.' And she admitted she won't be seeing out the full weekend's entertainment. 'I am not going to stay for the whole three days,' she added. 'I would rather be able to dip in and out. I might dip back in for the Sunday night to see Rod.' Her Friday night fun comes as BRIT award-winning The 1975 - made up of Matty, Adam Hann, Ross MacDonald, and George Daniel - step out onto the iconic Pyramid Stage. Denise admitted Matty, 36, gets his musical talent from dad Tim, 73, who appeared in ITV 's Benidorm.
