Glastonbury 2016: Adele, Coldplay, Martin Creed

The Art Newspaper
22 June 2016

Hauser & Wirth’s arts complex in Bruton, Somerset, is only ten miles from Glastonbury, home of the famed music festival which opened today (22 June) to revellers and rock fans. In a canny move, the gallery is backing two performances at the five-day music jamboree including an appearance by artist Martin Creed on the Avalon Café Stage on 26 June. The Turner prizewinner, who is known for his musical acumen, will launch a new album on 8 July entitled Thoughts Lined Up (Creed’s latest tracks should bring some light relief for mud-caked Glasto attendees, who can also catch an exhibition dedicated to the artist at H&W Somerset, until 11 September). Hauser & Wirth is also supporting a classical music headliner on the Park Stage on 25 June, when the conductor Charles Hazlewood will lead a performance of Philip Glass’s Heroes Symphony in honour of the most influential musician of all, David Bowie. A sonic laser light show by Chris Levine will illuminate the proceedings.
