Artists/Line-up

Bjork

Living proof that musical adventurousness and commercial success can walk hand in hand, the queen of future-pop makes a welcome return to Glastonbury.

Reviews

Gem
Absolutelty incredible, the best set i've ever seen. The re-works of some old classics worked fantastically alongside the new album tracks, and the man with what i can only describe as a "rune synth" was a fantastic addition to an already brilliant set.

Jimmy
She is amazing, but works with amazing people on her tracks. Do you like bjork or Mark Bell, Tricky, matmos, nelle hooper, howie B, golidie ETC it gets blurry. She writes truly amazing lyrics and brings people together. The mash up of "Freak" over hyperballard was wicked, but I am a massive LFO fan anyway..

mini
looks stunning

Will this woman ever age?! She put on an electrifying performance and the little techno set she put on at the end was awesome.

Afos
I have been a fan of hers since she was a vocalist of Sugarcubes , not many have mentioned this yet only the true followers will recognise her from very beginning, Andres From Peru

ghastly talentless weirdo!

Bjork is such a unique artist and true, true music talent. I was in the mosh pit at Glasto and her performance was the highlight of the festival for me. I enjoyed the show from start to finish. Bjork's got stage presence, a strong live singing voice and hit after hit in her discography - a REAL talent that brings consistent quality and style to her music. Totally smitten.

jenni
bjork's amazing

Tim Bubbles
The most astonishing set of live music i have attended - absolute genius.

she was utterly beautiful, and the scream during Pluto when half the PA cut out was fantastic! one of the only true artists to play glasto this year.

joko

MR HELLO
WE ARE THE EARTH ENTRUDERS!YES WE ARE!

Caren
She's a true legend

Red
I've only got the first album of hers, but I saw Bachelorette on BBC 2 and as soon as they said 'you can see more Bjork on BBC 4' I was like 'please!'. Bjork is an amazing artist her set was so tranquil and atmospheric. Venus as a Boy just played simply with a harpsichord accompaniment really let you take in the beauty of her voice and the unique way in which she uses it. Hunter, Pagan Poetry, All Is Full of Love, great song after great song.

Charlotte
Scarryyyyyyy

one of the ,ost original and creative artists currently around. Breaking away from the indie rock monophone bands that continualy get far too much airplay for such limited talent

David
Caught the highlights of Bjork on the BBC last night. Wow! In particular, her closing song was amazing. ("Wave Your Flags!") Totally distinctive and charismatic. Great great set. So good I felt compelled to leave this message! As others have noted, she is extremely creative, original and charismatic. Quite unlike anything else I have seen in a long time.

Paul Rowland
The best gig I've never been to!

Lisa C
absolutely wonderful, as usual something different to amaze and impress.

Petar D
Well I wasnt lucky to get a ticket but watched it on BBC4 - Great gig. Bjork is amazing. How about that mix of Hyperbalad with LFO's 'Freak'? - B.E.A.U.T.I.F.U.L.

Why anybody else would bother to play with Bjork on the line-up is beyond us. And she never let us down. A consumate performer that delivers time and time again. Bjork isn't just a musician, she is an artist in the true sense of the word and this live performance showed just how rivetting she is to watch, to hear and to be inspired by. All we can say is thank you Bjork!
