Glastonbury 2024: check out NME’s exclusive, intimate artist portraits
There's nothing NME loves more than getting hold of our favourite artists for a quick chat and snap at our favourite festival – except for seeing them live at said festival, that is. And at Glastonbury 2024 we were lucky enough to snag some time with IDLES , Kneecap , Aurora and more artists to have a quick chinwag – and also some quality photo time.
Scroll down for our exclusive behind-the-scenes portraits of Glasto performers from Beth Ditto to Fontaines D.C. to Ayra Starr – plus longtime partners in cinematic crime Simon Pegg and Edgar Wright – all shot by photographer Andy Ford.
