Glastonbury

Day 2 - Part 2 - Blur, Placebo, Roni Size/Reprazent, Mansun (1998x5)

: 27, 1998

John Peel and Jo Whiley introduce further highlights from the second day of the 27th Glastonbury Festival. One of the major draws for the crowd tonight will be Blur, playing their highest-profile concert of the year. The band's eponymous 1997 album was both their most diverse and most commercially successful release yet. Also in action are techno trio Underworld, whose track Born Slippy became an anthem after its inclusion on the soundtrack for Trainspotting. Completing the line-up are glam-rock throwbacks Placebo, Mercury Music Prize-winning Roni Size/Reprazent, and Chester pop band Mansun. Plus a tour of the fields on the festival site, which feature cabaret, theatre and comedy.
