Glastonbury 2014
Watch Warpaint cover ‘Ashes to Ashes’ at Glastonbury
The LA quartet bring Bowie to the festival after all.
Sure, so David Bowie didn’t turn up to contribute his cameo to Arcade Fire’s ‘Reflektor’ in person at Glastonbury, but it’s OK - Warpaint brought him along in spirit.
Taking to the BBC Music Tepee backstage at the festival, Emily, Theresa, Jenny and Stella performed a stripped-back cover of the Bowie classic, ‘Ashes to Ashes’.
Read up on Warpaint’s Other Stage set, see ‘Keep it Healthy’ from that performance over here, and then watch ‘Ashes to Ashes’ below.
