As First Aid Kit continue to announce festival appearances for the summer, the big question is whether they are going to play Glastonbury.

The Glastonbury Festival runs from Wednesday 26th June to Sunday 30th June and notably, FAK have not yet announced any other engagements for this period. If we look at their current tour schedule, there’s a gap between their last European date on 13th June and their next show in Canada on 5th July. Of course, it may well be this gap is earmarked as a rest or rehearsal period, or that alternative shows are planned.

Is a Glastonbury appearance likely given that FAK played the previous festival which took place in 2017? Well, the answer to this isn’t clear. Some artists have played consecutive festivals but these are in the minority. On the other hand, this year is a somewhat special case, as there was no festival in 2018. What can be said is that First Aid Kit were a big hit with the Glastonbury crowd in 2017 and many people think their performance was outstanding.

We know from interviews that FAK themselves consider the Glastonbury Festival to be very special. Of course, even if they wanted to make an appearance, there’s no guarantee they’d be able to – the decision may not be entirely in their hands. Ultimately it will be down to the festival organisers to decide who gets to play.  However, should the opportunity present itself, I have a sneaking suspicion that First Aid Kit might just find it too hard to resist! All we can say at the moment is that Glastonbury is still a possibility.
