10 acts you need to see at Glastonbury 2017
We know what's good, trust us
Anderson .Paak & The Free Nationals
Friday, West Holts Stage, 8.45pm
Everything about Anderson .Paak's most recent album screams summer. The 'Malibu' title, the fiery, sunset skies on the artwork and the laidback, sun-kissed tracks performed by the Compton rapper/singer. Only it was released in January, a month far from the warm, glowing feel 'Malibu' exudes. With the forecast for Glastonbury looking good (no guarantee, obviously), Anderson and his accompanying band The Free Nationals are a banker for feel-good festival vibes on the first day. It'll be the first time their hazy blend of rap, funk and soul hits the Glastonbury fields and, judging by the reviews of their recent performance at Parklife Festival, it'll be totally worth skipping Radiohead headlining the Pyramid stage. Yes, we do realise we're contradicting ourselves as Thom Yorke and co. are also in this list, but the Mixmag crew like to throw a spanner in the works. DT
