By June 2007, Super Furry Animals had recently released their album "Hey Venus!" earlier that same year, which was their eighth studio album. The live performance recorded at the Glastonbury Festival, where they played "Rings Around The World," showcased the band's signature blend of psychedelic rock and pop, emphasizing their status as a leading figure in the alternative music scene. That summer at Glastonbury, they made a memorable impression, not least because their performance was noted for its energy and ability to delight the crowd, metaphorically making the sun shine in a typical British festival setting. Interestingly, this set was not part of the main BBC broadcast but was featured on their interactive "red button" service, suggesting a more niche but dedicated viewing audience for their vibrant live shows. This reflected the band's continued evolution and reinvention, as they maintained their creative output and loyal fan base throughout their career.
