The singer-songwriter Declan McKenna will undoubtedly be drawing in crowds of loyal fans at this year's Glastonbury music festival. The indie pop-star will be gracing the Woodsies stage on Friday.
Declan’s cult following exploded after the pandemic thanks to his mega hit ‘Brazil’ hitting a billion streams online. The breakthrough single tackled corruption in Fifa and gave Declan, who rips his lyrics from headlines, a reputation for turning political turmoil into tunes set for dancefloors.
The 25 year-old’s later songs touched on transgender suicide and religious hypocrisy and his second album, Zeros, imagined escaping the Earth after a climate catastrophe.
