PJ Harvey - The Ministry of Social Affairs Live at Glastonbury Festival

Venue: Vakantiepark De Groene Heuvels Location: Beuningen, Gelderland, Netherlands Date: June 24, 2016

On June 24, 2016, PJ Harvey delivered a gripping live performance of "The Ministry of Social Affairs" at Vakantiepark De Groene Heuvels in Beuningen, Netherlands. This recording comes in the wake of her album "The Hope Six Demolition Project," which was released just a couple of months earlier, in April 2016. This album marked a significant chapter in Harvey's career, showcasing her strong social commentary through innovative soundscapes. An intriguing fact: she recorded the album in a unique setting that included an art installation, blurring the lines between music and visual art. During this period, Harvey also became the first female solo artist to win the prestigious Mercury Prize twice, highlighting her lasting influence and talent in the music world. Her work during this time resonates not just with beats and lyrics, but with a profound commentary on society.
