The Isle of Wight Festival on Saturday was a lively affair with a headline performance by the iconic Pet Shop Boys. The crowd was also treated to energetic sets from S Club and Jessie J. The festival grounds were buzzing with excitement as music lovers enjoyed the performances under the sunny skies. Check out some snapshots from the event to get a glimpse of the fun and vibrant atmosphere at the festival.

This year marks my first time attending Glastonbury, and I am thrilled to be part of a historic moment where south Asian artists will have their own dedicated space at the festival. The introduction of the new area, called Arrivals, is long overdue and signifies a significant step towards diversity and inclusion at Glastonbury. Arrivals will showcase an entirely south Asian lineup, curated and designed by a team of south Asian creatives, including set designers and sound system operators. This initiative is not just about representation, but also about creating a platform for south Asian music to be celebrated and recognized on a global stage. The presence of Arrivals at Glastonbury is a testament to the festival's commitment to embracing diversity and pushing boundaries in the music industry. By giving south Asian artists a dedicated space to showcase their talent, Glastonbury is setting a new standard for festivals worldwide. I am excited to be a part of this historic moment and look forward to experiencing the vibrant and diverse sounds of south Asian music at Glastonbury.
