Mercury Rev

In June 2002, during their performance at the Glastonbury Festival, Mercury Rev was promoting their fifth studio album, "All Is Dream," which had been released earlier that year. This album marked a significant return for the band after a five-year hiatus since their prior release, "Deserter's Songs" (1998), which had garnered critical acclaim and commercial success. Notably, "All Is Dream" features lush arrangements and orchestral elements, showcasing the band's evolution in sound. The Glastonbury set included tracks that exemplified this rich sonic landscape. Additionally, by this time, Mercury Rev was recognized for their unique blend of alternative rock and psychedelic pop, establishing a dedicated following that was evident in their energetic live performance at one of the world's most prestigious music festivals. Their ability to captivate audiences live contributed to their reputation as a compelling and innovative act within the indie music scene.
