Jagwar Ma have spoken of their excitement at appearing at Glastonbury 2014, after receiving rave reviews for their appearance in 2013 - and also giving their backing to the controversial booking of Metallica to headling the Saturday night on Worthy Farm.
In an interview with Gigwise at their recent LumiaLive gig in Bristol, the band claim that the festival already holds a special place for the band, after their first ever performance at the event in 2013. The Australian band also praise the iconic Pyramid Stage, the mud and the spiritual 'energy' of Worthy Farm.
"Yeah Glastonbury is sick," says Jono Ma. "It’s going to be the second year in a row and it was pretty meaningful the first time we did it, so we’ve got a sentimental attachment to that festival."
"We’re very much a bands band, and we always give it everything we’ve got," adds bandmate Gabriel Winderfield. "Glasto’ is so sexy though man, it’s got a pyramid, it’s got mud, it’s got boots, it’s got fucking Metallica. It’s just sick."
"It’s that stone circle, I think what’s really great about it is just the overall energy," agrees Ma. "It’s electric. There’s no coincidence that Stonehenge is right around the corner, it’s a central focus of energy that people have been tapping into for centuries, and we’re just continuing that tradition."
