In other news, Texas played the Pyramid Stage at this year’s Glastonbury Festival. Spiteri thanked Glastonbury’s Emily Eavis for being a “massive supporter of female musicians” during the band’s performance.
The Glaswegian group took to the stage on Friday, June 23, to perform a career-spanning set. Towards the end of their one hour slot, Spiteri praised Eavis.
“Not because she’s ticking a fucking box to put us on these stages, she’s putting us on these stages because she thinks we’re fucking amazing,” Spiteri told the audience. “Emily Eavis is a massive supporter of female musicians.”
