Here’s what SEVENTEEN played at their historic debut Glastonbury set
SEVENTEEN have made history as the first K-pop band to perform on the Pyramid Stage at Glastonbury Festival – check out their setlist and all the best moments from them below.
The 13-strong boyband performed to a sea of people and flags at their set at the Pyramid Stage today (June 28) at Worthy Farm. With the set only available to watch for those in the UK, SEVENTEEN have made a huge splash on social media, with fans sharing some of the band’s heartfelt speeches.
Speaking to the crowd, the band’s significant achievement was not lost on them, with the band coming out with a small flag of their own saying “SEVENTEEN right here – making history at Glastonbury”. Member Woozi additionally said at the beginning: “We still can’t believe that we are here to perform as the first K-Pop group at the festival, thank you so much!”, with Seungkwan adding: “We will show you what kind of team SEVENTEEN is!”
Meanwhile, Joshua concluded: “Even though the language, country and culture are different, we can all connect through the music. That’s why we’re here today.”
Playing through hits like ‘Hot’ and ‘Rock With You’, the boyband played their song ‘Headliner’ from their most recent mini-album ‘Seventeenth Heaven‘ towards the end – perhaps as an act of cheeky manifestation.
They then closed out their show with a triumphant performance of ‘Very Nice’. Check out what the boys played for their history-making debut at Glastonbury down below:

NME spoke to SEVENTEEN about their historic Glastonbury performance, with Seungkwan calling it “such an honour, we’re super grateful. Some of the audience members might not know us that well, but we just hope that everyone would leave with the impression that these guys can really smash it on stage.”
We also reviewed their 11th mini-album ‘Seventeenth Heaven’, giving it four stars: “‘Seventeenth Heaven’ admittedly may not sit at the very top of the band’s own pantheon. Nor does it reach the same Icarian heights of 2022’s ‘Face the Sun’, in which SEVENTEEN took a sure-footed step into an adult chapter, without deserting their endearing earnestness and grit.
“Even though this release doesn’t entirely play to the boyband’s strengths, it continues to flex their consistency and creativity as a collective – and if there is indeed a god of music, may they grace the group with a swift and rounded return to form.”
The gates to Glastonbury 2024 opened on Wednesday (June 26), ahead of a weekend of music from the likes of headliners Dua Lipa, Coldplay, and SZA, alongside Shania Twain’s legends slot and performances from LCD Soundsystem, PJ Harvey, Little Simz, Burna Boy, Idles, Anne-Marie, Confidence Man, Disclosure, Camila Cabello, The Last Dinner Party, Avril Lavigne, The National, Jessie Ware, Jungle, Justice, Masego, Sugababes and countless more.
