If the organisers of the Glastonbury Festival were looking for a way to learn more about the demographics of their audience - and where they might be heading in the future - they could hardly have done better than schedule Neil Young and Charli XCX to play at the same time on their two biggest stages.
Young, the grizzled folk-rock-country warrior who eventually confirmed himself as a Pyramid Stage headliner by first saying he wasn’t going to play, will seemingly be facing off against the British electronic pop superstar on the Saturday night of this year’s festival, when she takes to the Other Stage at the same time.
