Haim fans praise band as 'born headliners' as they suffer sound issues onstage during secret Glastonbury set

Daily Mail​7 hours ago

Fans of girl band Haim had nothing but praise after they suffered sound issues onstage during their secret Glastonbury set on Saturday night.
The Los Angeles-based rock band - which consists of three sisters - performed in front of an eager crowd who were excited to watch them live.
Haim had been dropping hints about their appearance in the weeks running up to the show at Worthy Farm.
But fans were delighted when they came out, although they suffered some sound issues.
During their set, fans were encouragingly heard shouting 'louder, louder' as music nearby was drowning their sound out.
Things were quickly corrected and sisters Este, Danielle and Alana Haim carried on with their highly-anticipated set.
The trio took to Glastonbury for the first time since 2022, where they headlined the Pyramid Stage.
This year, they performed at The Park stage - and it was well received after they had previously labelled it their favourite.
Speaking to radio presenter Jo Whiley, Alana teased: 'We love The Park Stage. The Park Stage is our favourite, 'cause that was like the first time we came to Glastonbury, we got to play The Park Stage. It felt like a movie.'
Dropping further hints, Alana continued: 'It was like, "What is going on? How did we get here?" And also just like… you never forget the first time you step onto the farm.
'And it's the most insane feeling, I think, that you'll ever have. But it was incredible, it's the best festival in the world.'
Glastonbury Festival is well under way - and there's been plenty of highs and lows so far.
On Friday, Lewis Capaldi reduced everyone to tears when he declared: 'I'm back baby' during his emotional return to the Pyramid Stage.
The Scottish singer, 28, was greeted with cheers from the huge Worthy Farm crowd, two years after his battle with Tourettes left him unable to finish his performance at the festival and led to a career hiatus.
Fans in the crowd could be seen crying and calling out his name before joining him in a rendition of mega-hit Someone You Loved
Delighted to back in front of an audience he tearfully said: 'Two years ago I wasn't sure if I'd ever do this again, but I'm back baby!''.
Lewis sung a number of his famous hits, before once chocking back tears as he performed brand new single Survive, which highlights the difficult period in his career following his last Glastonbury gig.
Fans in the crowd could be seen crying and calling out his name before joining him in a rendition of mega-hit Someone You Loved.
In his emotional speech, Lewis said: 'Glastonbury it's good to be back. Won't say too much up here today as if I do I might start crying, but I can't thank you enough for coming here and being with here'.
'Second times a charm hey! It's a short set today but just wanted to come and finish what I couldn't last time, also this was like the worst kept f*****g secret ever'.

Watch as the Red Arrows fly over Glastonbury during surprise Pulp performance

Watch as the Red Arrows fly above Glastonbury as Pulp performed 'Common People' on Saturday (29 June). A sea of tents and crowds of people can be seen as the jets made their way past Worthy Farm with their signature smoke trailing behind. Pulp played an hour-long secret set on the Pyramid Stage, billed as the non-existent act Patchwork on the lineup in the days prior. Speculation had been rife as to who the mysterious band was, with guesses ranging from Oasis to Haim. In 2023, mysterious band The ChurnUps turned out to be the Foo Fighters.

Police 'examining' Kneecap and Bob Vylan Glastonbury performances

Rapper Bobby Vylan, of rap punk duo Bob Vylan, led crowds on the festival's West Holts Stage in chants of: 'Free, free Palestine' and: 'Death, death to the IDF'. It has been reported that police are looking into Kneecap's performance after a member of the Irish rap trio suggested fans 'start a riot' outside his bandmate's upcoming court appearance. In a post on social media, Avon and Somerset Police said: 'We are aware of the comments made by acts on the West Holts Stage at Glastonbury Festival this afternoon. READ MORE: Scottish refugee charity 'won't shut up, it will show up', says founder 'Video evidence will be assessed by officers to determine whether any offences may have been committed that would require a criminal investigation.' Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy has spoken to the BBC director general about Bob Vylan's performance, a government spokesperson said. They added: 'We strongly condemn the threatening comments made by Bob Vylan at Glastonbury. 'The Culture Secretary has spoken to the BBC Director General to seek an urgent explanation about what due diligence it carried out ahead of the Bob Vylan performance, and welcomes the decision not to re-broadcast it on BBC iPlayer.' A BBC spokesperson said: 'Some of the comments made during Bob Vylan's set were deeply offensive. During this live stream on iPlayer, which reflected what was happening on stage, a warning was issued on screen about the very strong and discriminatory language. We have no plans to make the performance available on demand.' During Kneecap's set, which was not aired by the BBC, band member Naoise O Caireallain, stage name Moglai Bap, lead chants of 'fuck Keir Starmer'. He told the crowd: 'The prime minister of your country, not mine, said he didn't want us to play, so fuck Keir Starmer.' Moglai Bap's comments come after several politicians, including the Prime Minister, called for Kneecap to be removed from the line-up. The band also led crowds in chants of 'Free Palestine', with Liam Og O hAnnaidh, stage name Mo Chara, commenting on the sheer number of flags at the festival after the field where they played had to be closed following overcrowding concerns. O hAnnaidh wore a keffiyeh during the hour-long set, while member JJ O Dochartaigh, stage name DJ Provai, wore his signature tri-coloured balaclava along with a T-shirt that said: 'We are all Palestine Action', in reference to the soon-to-be banned campaign group. The Belfast group made the headlines after O hAnnaidh, 27, was charged with allegedly displaying a flag in support of proscribed terrorist organisation Hezbollah, while saying 'up Hamas, up Hezbollah' at a gig in November last year. Last week, the rapper, who performs under the stage name Mo Chara, was cheered by hundreds of supporters as he arrived with bandmates Naoise O Caireallain and JJ O Dochartaigh at Westminster Magistrates' Court in Free Mo Chara T-shirts. He was released on unconditional bail until his next hearing at the same court on August 20.
