Glastonbury is one of the most open-minded festivals on the planet. Sure, the main coverage you see on TV comes from the platinum-selling artists or those currently riding the hype train, but that’s just one facet of the weekend – there’s a plethora of weird and wonderful music from all corners of the globe, and most of it kicks maximum arse.
And do you know what? They do like it heavy over on Worthy Farm! Since Metallica headlined in 2014, Earache Records have brought the metulz to Shangri-La with their Express Stage in 2017 and Scum Stage this summer boasting everyone from Napalm Death and Gojira to Wormrot and Venom Prison. All vital, all inspiring, all bloody heavy.
Here are eight acts we reckon would go down a storm at Glastonbury next year.
