Glass Animals headlining London’s O2 Arena was “very special” for the band,” explained vocalist Dave Bayley. After looking out onto the screaming crowd though, he decided sincerity could wait. “Let’s just play some tunes”.
And the band has plenty of them. After forming in Oxford and practising in a South East London bedroom, the four-piece quickly built up a cult following with their quirky, R&B-infused indie rock. Then came 2020’s third album Dreamland and viral megahit Heat Waves which made Glass Animals one of the biggest guitar bands in the world.
