Glastonbury Festival News

Derbyshire

He's the first solo artist under eighteen to be invited two years in a row in the festival's history

When Dan Ottewell was eight, he performed on a small stage at the Glastonbury music festival as part of a 'kids band' that had been set up by his schoolfriend's parents. It was 2015, and he said visiting the festival for the first time 'didn't blow' his mind, 'but rather nuked it.'

He said: "I recorded loads of demos in my room and sent them out to all of my favourite artists. I was really surprised, but they eventually all ended up replying to me. "I've made sure to go back to the stage I played on when I was eight to say hi to everyone, because I do feel super lucky to have finally played the festival, especially as much as I have.

"It taught me a really good lesson because there was a real chance it would've all gone wrong. But we still managed to see and meet some really great bands.
