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.
