Tame Impala's Kevin Parker talks Glastonbury: "It’s still mind-blowing"

Kevin Parker and co. might have racked up their fair share of festivals this summer, but there’s still nothing quite like Glasto, the Tame Impala frontman insists, following their huge Pyramid Stage slot this year.

“For everyone that’s a music follower in England, Glastonbury is like the Mecca of all that,” he explains in the new issue of DIY, out now. “It’s kinda written into their bones, written into their way of life. Whereas someone from outside the country, that’s not from England, goes there and it’s like, ‘Woah, what the fuck is going on?!’ It’s all a new experience – I’ve been like four times before, but it’s still mind-blowing. It’s still a new experience every time.”
