GLASTONBURY was hit with more ‘chaos’ as a band’s secret set was hit with sound issues.
Fans were previously left more than underwhelmed by Worthy Farm’s opening ceremony after a similar technical blunder.
Last night, one of the main Glastonbury BBC channels stopped working on TV as viewers on iPlayer were forced to switch to individual stage feeds.
Now it seems that Haim’s surprise set on The Park stage faced more sound issues.
The trio – made up of sisters Este, Danielle and Alana – made a highly anticipated return to Somerset on Saturday night.
After performing on the Pyramid Stage in 2022, they returned to their stomping ground to perform to an eager crowd.
However, during their live set, fans were heard to have shouted ‘louder, louder’.
The Mail Online has reported that other music nearby was drowning out the performance of Los Angeles-based siblings
Haim had previously dropped several hints to fans that they would be performing at Worthy Farm in the weeks running up to Glastonbury.
But despite the sound issues, the American rock band kept going with their performance.
Their show was very well received by fans who took to social media in droves to praise the band, and declare that they should have been a headline act.
Writing on X – formerly known as Twitter -one fan gushed: “Haim were and are exceptional.”
A second agreed: “HAIM’s (not so) secret set at #Glastonbury was outstanding. Catch it on iPlayer if you missed it, it’s so worth it.“
“The irony that the best TBAs Lewis Capaldi, Pulp & Haim all brilliant and could easily have headlined,” noted a third user.
While someone else wrote: “Haim back where they belong, Glasto.”
And a fifth added: “Only a matter of time before HAIM headline Glastonbury. Should have been this year. Such a fun band.”

Although the band took to a smaller stage than their headline set in 2022, the band admitted that they were delighted to go somewhat back to their roots.
In a conversation with radio star Jo Whiley, Alana admitted: “We love The Park Stage. The Park Stage is our favourite.
“[Be]cause that was like the first time we came to Glastonbury, we got to play The Park Stage. It felt like a movie.”
She continued: “It was like, ‘What is going on? How did we get here?’ And also just like… you never forget the first time you step onto the farm.
“And it’s the most insane feeling, I think, that you’ll ever have. But it was incredible, it’s the best festival in the world.”
