Glastonbury 2023: Acts to catch on the BBC this weekend

positive

One of the go-to indie boys of the 2010s, Ben Howard was probably on your uni study playlist. Start your Friday off with some gentle, dreamy nostalgia.

Maisie Peters is one of the UK’s most exciting up-and-coming singer-songwriters. Her latest breakup album, The Good Witch, left some critics calling her “the British <a href="https://www.stylist.co.uk/tag/taylor-swift" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Taylor Swift</a>”. Need we say more?

We all know Call Me Maybe, but this Canadian pop star is no one-hit-wonder. Her latest album, The Loneliest Time offers her most mature, layered music yet.

This London-based band fuses jazz, funk and electronica for a truly unique sound. Their politically driven, improvisational music is nothing short of explosive and euphoric.

Get ready for some truly electric synth-pop with Chvrches, the exhilarating duo from Scotland. With big tunes and bigger performances, this is not one to miss.

Her milkshake brings all the boys to the yard – Kelis is appearing on the West Holts stage on Friday evening, and you don’t want to miss it.

Friday night’s headliners are the Arctic Monkeys. Prepare for a blast of nostalgia as Alex Turner (hopefully) takes us through the band’s greatest hits including I Wanna Be Yours, R U Mine? and 505.

Friday

Tune in early Saturday morning to hear one of the greatest modern composers of our time. You may have cried along as Max Richter’s gorgeous On The Nature Of Daylight underscored that heartbreaking episode of The Last Of Us or you may be more familiar with Richter’s scores for Arrival, The Leftovers and Ad Astra.

After <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TyimCGEkiUc" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">going viral</a> as the music student who made Pharrell cry with her song Alaska, Maggie Rogers has gone on to become one of the most exciting indie singers of her generation. Blending dance and folk, her music is uniquely catchy and always a total vibe.

Jacob Collier is something of a musical maverick. Known for playing just about every instrument under the sun and for his experimental, magical covers of famous songs, Collier has a knack for transforming well-known tunes with an infusion of jazz influences and vocal harmonies for a truly unique sound.

This exciting jazz quintet from London brings the energy. Their set is sure to be a vibrant, joyous crowd-pleaser.

It’s about damn time! This set will be good as hell and we are here for it.

Her album Sawayama was named the third best of the year in 2020 by <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/music/2020/dec/16/the-best-albums-of-2020-no-3-rina-sawayama-sawayama" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">The Guardian</a>, and it’s easy to see why. Rina Sawayama, a British Japanese singer is always startling, blending everything from 90s pop and R&B to musical theatre and video game sounds for a fascinating musical fusion.

If you’ve loved <a href="https://www.stylist.co.uk/tag/lana-del-rey" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Lana Del Rey</a> since her Born To Die days, this set is not to be missed. Tune in for atmospheric indie melancholia – and be sure to bring your flower crown.

Ever since their breakout hit Tilted, French singer-songwriter <a href="https://www.stylist.co.uk/life/christine-and-the-queens-heloise-letissier-gender-equality-women-music-industry/277225" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Christine and the Queens</a>, also known as simply ‘Chris’, has been one of our most innovative musicians around. You’ll find everything from danceable club-worthy beats to introspective musical innovation in this set.

Saturday

A British pop legend, <a href="https://www.stylist.co.uk/tag/sophie-ellis-bextor" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Sophie Ellis-Bextor</a> has been churning out bops for a few decades now. Murder On The Dancefloor, anyone? Get ready to dance – and relive the chaos and gritty glamour of your early 00s clubbing days.

Moody, atmospheric and luscious, Weyes Blood is a whole mood. This American alternative singer promises darkly sumptuous music you can get lost in.

A legend through and through. Get ready to belt out The Tide Is High and have an absolute ball with <a href="https://www.stylist.co.uk/tag/blondie" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Blondie</a>.

This disco legend is not to be missed. With hits like You Got The Love and Young Hearts Run Free, Candi Staton’s set at Glasto is sure to be dynamite.

Indie pop artist Caroline Polachek is part witchy woman, part musical innovator. With a silky voice and ethereal stage presence that recalls the likes of Kate Bush, Polachek offers rich melodies, unexpected grooves and what is sure to be an unforgettable set.

And finally, <a href="https://www.stylist.co.uk/tag/elton-john" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Elton John</a> himself. A musical legend of the highest order, no one does it like Elton. This set is likely to be one of the great showman’s final shows, making it one of the biggest musical events in history. Don your finest feathers and sequins and soak it all in.
