Run the Jewels went ahead with their Glastonbury set as planned today with Jeremy Corbyn introducing the duo, which reportedly drew the festival’s biggest crowd this year. He pointed to a wall surrounding the festival grounds that displayed a message for President Donald Trump. “And do you know what it says? ‘Build bridges, not walls,’” he told the crowd. Watch his full speech below via NME. In the past, Killer Mike has been a vocal supporter of Corbyn, comparing his movement to Bernie Sanders’. The duo dedicated their set to the Grenfell Tower victims. “We love you, we love you, we love you,” Killer Mike said. Ahead of their performance, he shared that he was also doing the show for his mother, who passed away earlier this week.
Lorde, Solange, Father John Misty, and more are slated to appear at the Somerset, England festival. Radiohead, Foo Fighters, and Ed Sheeran are headlining.
