Honestly, try and find someone who doesn\u2019t like Adele. It\u2019s impossible. There wasn\u2019t even a hint of a petition to stop Adele playing this year\u2019s fest (<a href=\"https:\/\/metro.co.uk\/2016\/02\/16\/theres-a-petition-to-cancel-coldplays-glastonbury-headlining-slot-5688528\/\">Coldplay, on the other hand&#8230;<\/a>)<\/p>\n<p>There are bound to be plenty of highlights in Adele\u2019s set, from the weepie <em>Someone Like You <\/em>to her now infamous on-stage banter. We think <em>Hello <\/em>will be the biggest moment though; that chorus was written for hundreds of thousands of people to belt out in the middle of a field together.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/pFptt7Cargc\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Let It Happen \u201d\u201c Tame Impala<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Tame Impala\u2019s brand of psychedelic rock is perfectly suited to Glastonbury\u2019s heady mix of hippies, stone circles and&#8230;erm, \u201d\u02dcsubstances\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>While Tame Impala\u2019s older records saw the band take a more straightforward psych-rock route (if there is such a thing), their latest album <em>Currents <\/em>is a more electronic offering.<\/p>\n<p>The highlight of <em>Currents <\/em>is undoubtedly <em>Let It Happen<\/em>, an eight minute epic with lyrics that are basically <em>Let It Go<\/em> if it was written by John Lennon. You won\u2019t be able to get the main melody out of your head for days.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/iuQQIawCqBA\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3><strong>What Went Down \u201d\u201c Foals<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Foals have always been a good band, but we were taken aback when we first heard <em>What Went Down<\/em>, a snarling, aggressive rocker that wouldn\u2019t sound out of place in a punk band\u2019s set list.<\/p>\n<p>This is the kind of song made for going crazy to, the kind of song you don\u2019t mind falling face-first into the middle of a muddy mosh pit for. Although we\u2019re quite content rocking out to it from the comfort of our armchairs, thank you very much.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/MQOG5BkY2Bc\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Shutdown \u201d\u201c Skepta<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Grime has finally broken into the mainstream thanks to artists like Stormzy, JME and Skepta, something which has been confirmed by Skepta\u2019s slot on the Pyramid Stage on Friday.<\/p>\n<p>His recent album <em>Konnichiwa <\/em>is full of great tunes, but <em>Shutdown <\/em>is the pick of the bunch. It\u2019ll also be funny to watch loads of drunk people trying to rap along and failing miserably.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/LMY5xe36cfE\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Mr Blue Sky \u201d\u201c Jeff Lynne\u2019s ELO<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Filling the \u201d\u02dcbeloved veteran\u2019 slot this year, Jeff Lynne and the Electric Light Orchestra don\u2019t boast quite as many hits as Lionel Richie and Dolly Parton.<\/p>\n<p>You can expect the roof to come off when the first notes of <em>Mr Blue Sky <\/em>start playing though (metaphorically, of course).
