Jessie Ware took the West Holts stage by storm at Glastonbury, treating fans to an electrifying night filled with dance-floor anthems and infectious energy. The acclaimed singer, known for her incredible vocals and soul-infused sound, graced the rhythm hub of Glastonbury on Saturday night.
Ware’s journey to Glastonbury has been an illustrious one, marked by her multiple Brit and Mercury nominations. Her albums, including the chart-topping ‘What’s Your Pleasure?’ released during the lockdown, garnered her a massive following.
Collaborating with producer James Ford on her latest album ‘That! Feels Good!’, Ware has once again captivated audiences with her music. With a nod to her previous Mercury Music Prize nomination for ‘Devotion‘ in 2012, Ware continues to impress with her musical evolution.
During her set at Glastonbury, Ware surprised fans by bringing out Romy from the XX to debut their upcoming track ‘Lift You Up’. The euphoric single, built around a dance piano, left the crowd in awe with its uplifting lyrics and infectious melody.
As Ware and Romy lit up the stage with their collaborative performance, the atmosphere at West Holts transformed into a vibrant nightclub. Ware, affectionately dubbed ‘Mother of Pearl’ for the night, showcased her versatility and connection with the audience.
Not only did Ware pay tribute to legendary artists like Cher with a soulful cover of ‘Believe’, but she also led the crowd in a choreographed dance routine to her hit track ‘Beautiful People’. Her infectious energy and powerful vocals left a lasting impression on Glastonbury attendees.
Romy’s appearance with Ware at Glastonbury followed her recent surprise performance with Charli XCX at ‘Partygirl’. The indie rock singer’s talent shone as she remixed Robyn’s ‘Dancing on My Own’, adding to the electrifying energy of the festival.
With a setlist spanning Ware’s discography, including crowd favorites like ‘Spotlight’ and ‘Save a Kiss’, Glastonbury attendees were treated to a night of dance, nostalgia, and soulful tunes. The gracious camaraderie between Ware and Romy added a special touch to an already unforgettable evening.
