The last time Joni Mitchell visited the festival was in 1969. This time she performed together with Brandi Carlile and performed songs such as "Big Yellow Taxi", "A Case of You" and "Summertime".

Joni Mitchell broke through in the 60s and has since been celebrated both as a singer, songwriter and guitarist.

She is now 78 years old and has not done a full gig since 2000.

She was in the news earlier this year when she won a Grammy for Best Historical Album with the box set “Joni Mitchell Archives – Vol.

1: The Early Years (1963-1967)”.

She was also one of the artists who followed in Neil Young's footsteps and removed her music from the streaming service Spotify due to controversy surrounding Joe Rogan's podcast.
