Haim storm Glastonbury before lightning strikes

Last year, Haim owned Glastonbury. Granted, Este almost came a cropper too, but they popped up everywhere - from The Park Stage to singing back up for Primal Scream. Between now and then, they’ve hit the stratosphere. Debut album ‘Days Are Gone’ propelled them beyond the limits of a mere buzz act. On 2014’s festival run they’re one of the big pulls - the personality in a sea of grey.

Midway through the day on The Other Stage is their launchpad. Blasting off with ‘Falling’ before delivering a (synchronised dance-less) ‘If I Could Change Your Mind’ and a jam-laden cover of Fleetwood Mac’s ‘Oh Well’, live Haim are a more robust beast than on record. ‘Honey & I’ builds to a thumping crescendo, followed by a request for extreme amounts of “ass shaking” during the groove ridden ‘My Song No.5’.

Covering previous headliner Beyonce’s ‘XO’ (“Let’s see how badly I can fuck this up,” Este frets), there’s no sign of new material from the band’s supposedly imminently recorded second album. “This is the first time we’ve ever written on the road,” Alana told BBC 6 Music earlier in the day. “We’re going home in a month to start recording. I promise record two won’t come in six years - it’ll come very soon.”
