Electric Light Orchestra

By the time Electric Light Orchestra graced the stage at Glastonbury in 2016, they had recently released their album "Alone in the Universe" in 2015. This marked a significant return for the band, as it was their first studio album in over a decade. Jeff Lynne, the mastermind behind ELO, had rejuvenated the band's iconic sound with fresh energy, bringing in a blend of lush orchestration and rock elements that had originally defined their music. Interestingly, during this live performance of "Livin' Thing," Lynne's commitment to innovative arrangements shone through, enhanced by the stunning solo performances from Rosie and Amy Langley on violin and cello. This blend of classic ELO hits with a modern twist captivated the Glastonbury audience, showcasing not just nostalgia but also a living legacy that continues to resonate.
