Some amazing festivals have taken place this year so far including Coachella, South by Southwest and Download and now, sadly for many, Glastonbury 2014 has also come to an end.

The headlines are rife with mentions of the festival’s noteworthy performances, thunderstorms and 2015 headliner speculation. This year’s highlights include Dolly Parton’s set on the Pyramid Stage, Metallica proving themselves worthy of the festival after all and Kasabian’s headline set with a special guest appearance from Noel Fielding.

Next year’s headliners have already been confirmed and although he can’t reveal their names, the festival’s organiser Michael Eavis has provided a few clues. Apparently the front man of one of the bands is British but rest of the line-up aren’t British anymore and the band was booked while Eavis was watching Metallica perform.

Some of the festival’s successful performances have resulted in substantial increases in Spotify streams for the respective artists. Ed Sheeran’s streams rose by 195%, Metallica’s by 165%, Arcade Fire’s by 148%, Rodrigo y Gabriella’s by 123% and Dolly Parton’s by 95%.

If you’re keen to check out the artists playing at a popular festival this summer, Warner Music UK have just made it easier for you. They have created a Spotify app which allows users to listen to playlists based on major festival line-ups.
