It’s a stifling hot day on London’s Brick Lane, and new music sensations The Last Dinner Party are sweating buckets, having carried their instruments across town for rehearsals. They play Glastonbury for the first time this weekend.
“It’s a childhood dream come true,” says the band’s bass player, Georgia Davies, downing an icy drink. The organisers asked them if they wanted to play the festival last minute, “and we were like ‘Yes,’” adds lead singer Abigail Morris. “We never thought we’d get there this soon. We thought maybe next year, but here we are.”
