James Murphy’s Despacio soundsystem to play Glastonbury 2014
Glastonbury’s giving the project keys to Worthy Farm for a whole weekend.
James Murphy and Soulwax’s David and Stephen Dewaele aka Despacio have announced a last-minute trip to this year’s Glastonbury Festival.
They’ll bring their Despacio Soundsystem to Worthy Farm’s Silver Hayes area this weekend. The project’s being given its own tent across the entire weekend, with “marathon sets” promised.
“It has been a few years since they’ve all been at Glastonbury and they are returning in massive style, bringing with them a unique sonic experience like no other,” says a statement from Glastonbury’s official site.
The Despacio soundsystem has previously arrived at London Roundhouse as well as Manchester’s International Festival.
