Khruangbin, like the rest of Britain, are pouring one out for Glastonbury.
This weekend (June 26-28) would have been the iconic music festival’s 50th anniversary, a summer blow-out celebrating five decades of music goodness down on Worthy Farm in Pilton, Somerset.
Sadly COVID-19 had other plans – the festival was cancelled barely a week after the lineup was announced back in March. It’s, er, a bitter pill to swallow.Texan psych-rock-funk-whatever-you-want-to-call-it trio Khruangbin – bassist Laura Lee Ochoa, guitarist Mark Speer and drummer Donald Johnson – were due to play there this year, and they’re still smarting from the shindig’s absence.“We carefully planned our entire world tour around Glastonbury,” Ochoa laughs over Zoom.
