SEVENTEEN appeared on the main stage of the UK's "Glastonbury Festival" as the first K-POP artist. They created another historic moment with a performance worthy of showing what kind of team SEVENTEEN is. They overwhelmed the venue for about an hour with a rich band sound and SEVENTEEN's impeccable skills. They did not show signs of fatigue while singing 13 songs live. They also had unique unit stages that can only be seen at SEVENTEEN concerts. The atmosphere in the audience was further heightened by the addition of Joshua and Vernon's English song "2 MINUS 1" stage. SEVENTEEN showed a variety of performances from powerful performances to bright energy and emotional stages, showcasing the face of a "performance craftsman." Woozi expressed his full heart, saying, "It's unbelievable that we are the first K-POP group to perform at 'Glastonbury'." Joshua shouted, "Don't forget SEVENTEEN," emphasizing the connection through music. Mingyu ran around the stage with a flag that read "SEVENTEEN right here-Making History at Glastonbury." The encore stage featured the audience singing the chorus of "VERY NICE" repeatedly, creating a so-called "infinite Ajunice (infinite 'VERY NICE')." S.Coups descended into the audience, handing the microphone to the audience to raise the atmosphere to a climax. Fans shedding tears of emotion and fans waving official penlights and fans with SEVENTEEN members' faces were also captured by the relay camera. Not only them, but also audiences of various ages, from white-haired elderly people to children riding on merry-go-rounds, became one with SEVENTEEN's music. Local media reactions were also enthusiastic. NME praised SEVENTEEN for "making history" and said, "Their performance caused a huge response on social media." BBC reported that "there was even louder cheers at SEVENTEEN's performance than at the previous singer's," and The Independent praised it as a "master class in the entertainment world with music that makes you want to dance with a group dance that breathes together." "Glastonbury" is the UK's largest music festival, known as the "dream stage" where musicians from various genres such as rock, pop, jazz, and electronic music gather. SEVENTEEN, who successfully completed their performance here, will meet fans in various activities in July. On July 3, they will appear on Fuji TV's "FNS Kayo Festival," and on July 23 and 24, they will hold "2024 SVT 8TH FAN MEETING <SEVENTEEN in CARAT LAND>" at Seoul's Kocheok Sky Dome.
