Haim’s secret Glastonbury set review – sing-alongs and stomping songs from Worthy Farm’s favourite sisters
The LA trio may be a familiar sight at Glastonbury but it’s good to have them back again, and the breakup rage of new album I Quit provides the standout moments
There’s been a lot of talk this week about how un-secret the Glastonbury secret sets have become, so I was surprised to find that, when I told some friends that I was on my way to go see Haim’s “TBA” slot on the Park stage, none of them were aware that the show was occurring. Danielle, Alana and Este gallop on stage to the irresistible stomp of The Wire, from 2013’s Days Are Gone, and the crowd saves its biggest sing-alongs for the urgent, frustrated The Steps (from the band’s 2020 opus Women In Music Pt III) and Want You Back, from 2017’s Something To Tell You. Down to Be Wrong, a highlight of the record, provides a spectacular final song: Danielle’s voice sounds sublime on the chorus, and it’s even better when sung back to her by a devoted, ardent crowd.
