Glastonbury 2016: The music that made it magical

NYC Downlow, we whole-heartedly, totally love you. While it might have been as hard to get in as it was trying not to get stuck in the mud, that was only an indicator of just how popular it is every year.

Once you've been greeted by moustache-sporting hunks in leather bondage, you can make your way into the glamorous, sassy and damn-right fabulous late-night spot. When we saw The Black Madonna last year at the Downlow, it was one of our highlights so this year on Saturday night we just had to see her again. Sporting an orange, leopard print hat, she exuded confidence and had every dancer in that room losing their shit in the sexiest spot in Pilton.

Her set was a disco extravaganza, and the best song was Midland's 'Final Credits'. The glorious cut was played at least four times over the weekend and became our official Glastonbury anthem. Not only because we premiered it as part of our Gold feature but because it's an absolute belter that provides goosebumps every time those riffs zip in. What made hearing it this time even more special was that Midland was stood in front of us when it got dropped. He was wearing a vest and a smile on his face as people fist pumped and high-fived him for his extraordinary creation. A special Glasto moment for sure and enough to earn Midland our 'Hero of the Weekend' award.

(Special shouts also go to Gideon, the man behind Block9. He not only curated and ran our favourite section of Glastonbury but also laid down a chunky, rolling and ferocious house set before The Black Madonna stepped up. Brawther was dancing behind him and everyone was going nuts. Another huge performance.) Words: Funster
