sjseabass Posted July 3, 2022 Report Share Posted July 3, 2022 Yeah Truth Stage set was mega. Saw them do something similar there in the same slot in (I think) 2016 - mind-boggling stuff. Sadly skipped the Other set to get to Wet Leg nice and early but glad it was a good one. Also bumped into them by Avalon on Friday night. I was somewhat worse for wear (had just fallen into a ditch full of stinging nettles!) and I was probably a bit unbearable gushing about how wonderful they are, ‘Book of Traps and Lessons is one of my favourite albums of all time’ etc etc, but they were (of course) absolutely lovely and then we went our separate ways.

sime Posted July 3, 2022 Report Share Posted July 3, 2022 The Other Stage set was a great follow on from The Libertines. What a double bill to start my festival. Excellent booking. Kae's set was one of my top three of the weekend. Incredibly powerful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tranquility of Solitude Posted July 3, 2022 Report Share Posted July 3, 2022 Just to second everything said on this thread. Was at the Other, and cried. Gutted to not have also been at Truth by the sound of it. Very special indeed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troop Dogg Posted July 3, 2022 Report Share Posted July 3, 2022 I love Kae Tempest. First saw them at a poetry night in Southend probably 13-14 years ago and been following them ever since. They have an absolutely phenomenal back catalogue of records and writing, and their ability to deliver the words live is incredible. Saw the Truth stage set this year, and on the Park and various other stages in previous years at Glasto. Peoples Faces does me in every time.

Ayrshire Chris Posted July 3, 2022 Report Share Posted July 3, 2022 Just sat on the other field and let her wonderful words flow over us. An unexpected highlight for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skip997 Posted August 10, 2022 Report Share Posted August 10, 2022 Kae Tempest's set on West Holts was among the very best performances I ever seen, and I'm an old git who has seen a lot. First saw Kae in a small backstage bar at Shambala. Gutted to have missed the Truth Stage set (didn't know it was happening), no way I was going to make the Other Stage set, far too early in the day. No live music should be allowed before 2pm at the very earliest, completely uncivilised behaviour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoo Music Girl Posted August 10, 2022 Report Share Posted August 10, 2022 It was a shame they didn't show the Other stage set this year (the stream didn't start until a bit later and I was watching from home). Was hoping to see them. That said, I saw them in May and it was brilliant. I cry every time too. Was in bits after that Park gig. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bike_Like_A_Mum Posted April 28, 2023 Report Share Posted April 28, 2023 My signed copy of Divisible by Itself and One just arrived in the post. Read one poem and I'm in bits. Bloody brilliant I was mesmerised by Kae Tempest last year. I was also right on the barrier at the other stage after Libertines. Chuffed they'll be back and will defo be at the West Holts collaboration. I'm sure they'll do another solo set somewhere as well across the weekend. They're usually a Glasto regular aren't they?

Yup, they usually do a few appearances over the weekend. I'm pretty sure I've seen them in some form every year since 2011 so expect this year to be no different. Mrs Shanks got me tickets for Kae's book launch in Manchester this tuesday, so looking forward to picking up a copy and getting it signed by them!

Their set last year on Other Stage was just magical, a real Glastonbury moment. Can see them maybe doing a reading from the new book somewhere over the weekend. Fingers crossed.
