Kaiser Chief's Ricky Wilson was determined to get the festival off to an energetic start It especially had to redeem itself after the whole Adele 'speech-gate' incident in 2012 followed by what can only be described the crappiest performance by Blur. There have been mixed reactions to headline act Metallica at the Glastonbury Festival, as Lizo Mzimba reports

Eavis, who runs the festival with his daughter, Emily, says the most challenging thing about the festival is working out how to distribute the budget around the entire 1,200 acre site, "It's like Marmite," he added. "You have to spread it really thin. We always figure that we can't spend it all on rock bands because I'd get three or four that cost millions and then you'd have nothing for the rest of the site which is the bit that makes Glastonbury so special."

Secondhand Rapture is an intriguing aural Jenga that combines humbled ballads ("Dark Doo Wop"), experimental epics ("Head is not My Home"), and pure pop belters ("Think of You") alike. It expands on what Candy Bar Creep Show sketched out, seamlessly referencing everything from '80s new wave to '90s pop, doo-wop to country. "We both listen to a lot of different music from all different genres and time periods," says Lizzy.

They connected in person three months later in December 2010. To find their footing as collaborators, they recorded a sweeping cover of Patrick Wolf's "Time of My Life." Curious to see where else the music could take them, they decided to try their hands at composing some original material. This led to the swelling, mercurial tune we know now as "Bones." "It definitely set a tone for the band," says Lizzy. "In person, we're quite upbeat and bubbly, but the music allowed us to tap into the most extreme elements of our personality." Max adds, "From the beginning we knew we had a really unique musical chemistry. We continued to write as much as possible and didn't really think of ourselves as a band until we'd collected a body of material."
