Declan McKenna Set to Shine at Glastonbury Woodsies Stage
Indie darling Declan McKenna is poised to captivate audiences at the prestigious Glastonbury music festival, where he will grace the Woodsies stage this Friday. Renowned for his thought-provoking lyrics and catchy melodies, McKenna’s fan base has skyrocketed, particularly after his hit single ‘Brazil’ amassed a staggering one billion streams online.
The talented singer-songwriter is distinguished for transforming politically charged topics into infectious tunes that resonate with listeners. From critiquing corruption in Fifa to delving into themes of social injustice, McKenna’s music offers a poignant commentary on contemporary issues.
McKenna’s latest album, ‘What Happened To The Beach,’ marks a departure from weighty subjects, signaling a shift towards a more lighthearted musical direction. As he gears up to support Sabrina Carpenter on her forthcoming US headline tour, fans can expect a dynamic performance at Glastonbury.
Set to take the Woodsies stage by storm on Friday night, McKenna will deliver a spirited one-hour set, starting at 7.30pm. Following Arlo Parks, the lineup at the Woodsies stage promises a diverse array of musical acts, ranging from punk and metal to chart-toppers.
For festival-goers unable to attend in person, the BBC will be providing extensive coverage of Glastonbury across various platforms, including continuous live streams from the main stages such as the Pyramid, Other, West Holts, Park, and Woodsies.
McKenna’s eclectic setlist, which features hits like ‘Sympathy,’ ‘Brazil,’ and ‘Beautiful Faces,’ ensures an electrifying performance that will keep audiences on their feet. With the likes of James Blake and Gossip also gracing the stage, Glastonbury’s Woodsies lineup promises an unforgettable musical experience.
