I’m in Control
In honour of Janet Jackson playing the Pyramid stage tomorrow – including the absolute diamond banger Control – we’re asking Glastonbury-goers what they would do if they were in control of the festival. First up to the plate is Roseanne, 27, from London.
“If I had control of Glasto I’d make myself Stormzy’s backing dancer or hype girl. I’d put more showers around, definitely. And I’d let everyone have VIP access for the day or at least give me and my friends a backstage pass.”

Black Midi reviewed
What better way to kick off Glastonbury with some free-improv math punk fronted by a man who sounds as if someone force-fed Jeff Buckley a fistful of hornets? If there is one, a surprising amount of people haven’t found it, judging by the packed William’s Green tent for Black Midi’s breakfast set. The Brit School graduates’ (yep, really ) brand of managed chaos can frustrate on record – not least because of vocalist Geordie Greep’s mannered, strangulated howl. But live it makes sense in a strange way, the passages of meandering jazz giving way to some genuinely thrilling, doomy riffage. A bracing, bludgeoning wake-up call.
