Search web search ADVERTISEMENT Home Singapore Asia Pacific World Business Entertainment Sports Technology Asia Pacific World Muse, Kylie take the stage at sweltering Glastonbury AFP - 49 minutes ago Send IM Story Print GLASTONBURY, England (AFP) - – The Glastonbury Festival sweltered in soaring temperatures Saturday with a headline show due from local boys and rock superstars Muse and a brief appearance by pop princess Kylie. Temperatures touched 30 degrees Celsius at the site in Somerset, a welcome change from the rain and mud that has become synonymous with the world-famous greenfield arts festival. More than 170,000 revellers were clearly enjoying themselves as funk pioneer George Clinton, singer/songwriter Kate Nash and eighties pop duo the Pet Shop Boys took to the stage for the second full day of this 40th birthday event. After Friday's storming headline set by Gorillaz, which was littered with guest stars including rocker Lou Reed and rapper Snoop Dogg, the big excitement was a surprise appearance by Kylie Minogue with the Scissor Sisters. The Australian pulled out of the festival in 2005 after being diagnosed with breast cancer, but confirmed on a British talkshow that she would make a brief cameo with the camp American outfit on the main stage on Saturday night. Normally, the unpredictable British summer means that the festival is more associated with bogs rather than Bogota but Colombian singer Shakira's Latin rhythms suited the moment perfectly when she performed before Scissor Sisters. The South American superstar mesmerised the large main stage crowd with her hip-wiggling dance routines before they joined her in singing along with breakthrough hit, "Whenever, Wherever." Saturday's line-up kicked off with a set by I Blame Coco, fronted by Coco Sumner, daughter of Police superstar Sting. "I think it's a brilliant festival," the 19-year-old Sumner told AFP after her set on the Park Stage. "This is my third Glastonbury and it's a great day, I've been looking forward to it for a long time." The Lightning Seeds also performed their football anthem Three Lions, sparking a mass singalong of "football's coming home" ahead of England's crunch World Cup match against Germany on Sunday. Among the crowds was London-based photographer Max Whitaker, who remarked on how different the scene was compared to when he was here in 1971 for the second ever festival, headlined by Traffic and David Bowie. "It was very shambolic and there were no facilities, there were just trenches for going to the loo," Whitaker recalled. "Nobody had tents, there were just sleeping bags, but I slept in my car. "You couldn't even find the place, but we'd just had Woodstock and the Isle of Wight festival, it was the spirit of the time." He added: "I came back five years ago and it nearly killed me, I was terrified. It's very commercialised but I was very impressed and still think it retains its communal spirit." This year there were 700 meters of urinals on site and storage capacity for 1.8 million gallons of human waste -- over 10 litres per person -- highlighting the transformation the festival has undergone. The event generates over 82 million pounds for the national economy and donates over two million pounds a year to charities including Oxfam, Greenpeace and WaterAid. Within the site different areas cater for a multitude of philosophies. The Greenfields area was the place to find the original 1960s drop outs while the Fields of Avalon recreated the traditional carnival with a Wall of Death, insect circus and Big Top circus tent. At the far end of the site were Shangri-La and Arcadia, visions of derelict towns created by artists, which provided entertainment through the night after the official music stopped. And for the foodies, it seemed there was no corner of the globe not represented among the plethora of stalls offering everything from Jamaican jerk chicken to Eritrean curries and traditional English fare. Unsurprisingly though, it was the smoothies stall which had the longest queues as the party-goers combatted the unrelenting but welcome sunshine.
