Billie Eilish sparks delirium at Glastonbury resurrection

The 200,000 children of Glastonbury have returned to the mythical Worthy Farm to celebrate two years late the 50th anniversary of the festival of festivals,

and resurrected under the auspices of the youngest "debutante" in the history of the Pyramid:

The American singer was seventeen years old when she premiered in "Glasto", but it was in The Other Stage (the second stage), when she was still a cult artist and had not sung "No Time to die" to James Bond.

Eilish surprised everyone with a trip back in time with "Bury a Friend" and a demonstration of

before a totally dedicated audience, who participated in an experiment in collective therapy: "Rule number one, don't do the asshole Rule number two: No judgment calls And rule number three: "Have fun bitches!"

The 20-year-old singer hit the throbbing, youthful note, handing over to

in front of the pack of "matures"

and "grandfathers"

Few, however, are older than the founder of Glastonbury

86, who has promised "the best show of the moment" in this campaign city in the English countryside, clustered around a hundred stages, 101 bars and 900 stalls food and drink.

His wife,

, was in charge of cutting the ribbon and opening the doors last Wednesday, under an unusual sun and a desire to party proof of train strikes and the more than likely mudslides and downpours: "It has been very exciting to feel this unique atmosphere again. Canceling the festival for two years has been very painful. The trip has been very long this time, but people have responded in a very enthusiastic way and here we are, ready to make history again".

From the Ukraine, President

won the first applause on Friday with a speech on a giant screen by videoconference: "In Ukraine we would also like to enjoy freedom and a wonderful summer. But we cannot because the most terrible thing has happened: Russia He has stolen the peace.

The President of Ukraine, Volodimir Zelenski, has made a statement during the festival.ANDY BUCHANANAFP

St. Vincent, Sam Fender, Supergrass or The Libertines

were warming up the atmosphere in the countdown to the main course.

Billie Eilish comes from conquering the world with "Happier than ever" (number one in 25 countries) and is accompanied wherever she goes by the composer, guitarist, keyboardist and producer

"This is my brother and my best friend," he introduced him on stage, chanted by the crowd "Finneas, Finneas!".

Together, with their guitars, they sang "Your Power" and "Ocean Eyes" in the most intimate moment of a concert for posterity.

In the front row he had his first big fan, his mother

, ready to share with her successful daughter "the most incredible moment" of her career, and to lower "stress, pressure and fatigue" along the way with the protective halo of the hyper-creative family: "For us it has always been very important to be together, in the highest moments and in the lowest".

With just turned eighty,

will approach the record for the oldest singer in the Pyramid on Saturday.

As if he couldn't wait for his moment, "Macca" stood out on Friday with a surprise "gig" outside the festival, at Somerset's Cheese and Grain.

There he sang "Lady Madonna" and a short Beatles repertoire, plus some of his recent compositions.

His long-awaited return to "Glasto" comes after a long wait of 18 years, prolonged by the pandemic.

At 82 years old,

will set the bar even higher on Sunday and leave the end of the party in the hands of the revived

(78 years old), who has just sang the Jubilee to the Queen herself and will try to make the girls dance to the rhythm of "Upside Down" and other great hits of the eighties.
