Glastonbury

Highlights: The Chicks and Dermot Kennedy (2023x117)

Air date: Jun 25, 2023

Huw Stephens takes the helm for a double bill, which begins with country music, courtesy of The Chicks, who make their Glastonbury debut. Having formed in 1989 in Dallas, performing bluegrass and country standards, The Chicks have evolved over the years and developed a more contemporary sound, with politically charged lyrics, leading the way as country music’s new generation. From The Other Stage is Dermot Kennedy, the Irish singer-songwriter who has gone from busking to a few in Dublin to performing in front of thousands across the globe. Marking his second return to Glastonbury, in the midst of a North American tour and with two number one albums under his belt - Without Fear and the follow-up, Sonder - the show highlights just what a musical force of nature Dermot Kennedy is on stage.
