It's Glasto week, people! The world's most famous music festival touches back down at Worthy Farm this Wednesday for another five days of music, art, creativity and chaos, with Pyramid Stage headliners The 1975, Neil Young and Olivia Rodrigo heading up another stacked bill of the very biggest and best in pop, rock, dance, hip hop, reggae and just about everything in between.
'But where are the 'proper' alternative bands?!' I hear you yell. Don't worry: peel back the layers just a little and you'll find plenty of hard rock, metal and punk acts making a big, fat racket around the lineup this year. Because I'm nice, I've gone and picked out 12 of the very best alt artists you should go out of your way to catch live - or at least watch on TV if you're one of the unlucky gazillions that lost out on tickets this year.
