If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. Seven simple words I wish somebody had drilled into the heads of the Kings of Leon prior to their last two albums. I would count myself as one of a minority of people who loved the first two albums. Their rawness, Caleb’s indistinguishable vocals; it was good old rock n’ roll in a new, exciting format. It was this format that earned them their current status. It was the first two albums that propelled them from festival tents to main stages. Most importantly, it was the first two albums that created a devoted fan base.

Until reforming last year, Orbital at Glastonbury 1994, was for many electronic music fans the live highlight of the decade and was rated as one of the Top 50 gigs of all time by Q Magazine. It was seen as Orbital’s spiritual home and where they bowed out in a blaze of glory in 2004 having played there a total of five times. It seems appropriate that they headline the Other Stage on this 40th Anniversary of Glastonbury.
