Hot Chip were joined by rapper Wiley, a full brass band and covered 'Nothing Compares 2 U' by their hero Prince during their Other Stage show at Glastonbury tonight (June 28).
At 9.15pm (BST) the Redridge Brass Band took the stage and played a brass medley of Hot Chip's hits, featuring 'And I Was A Boy From School', 'Over And Over' and 'Ready For The Floor'.
Then the brass band left to be replaced by Hot Chip themselves. Frontman Alexis Taylor was wearing a bright yellow work suit with yellow ear protectors and had his nose painted a matching colour, while synth player/singer Joe Goddard wore painted-on blue whiskers.
The band opened with a percussion-heavy version of 'Shake A Fist', then after three songs rapper Wiley walked onstage.
The Other Stage crowd responded with huge cheers when they recognised the London-based star, who shouted "How you doin' Glastonbury?" Before performing his hit 'Wearing My Rolex' with the band.
The audience sang along enthusiastically to the song, which Hot Chip had previously covered for the BBC Live Lounge.
"We've got one more thing to say," said guitarist Al Doyle near the death of the set, as Taylor stripped down to his vest.
He then suddenly began singing the opening line of recent Top Ten hit 'Ready For The Floor', leading the band into the song, prompting huge cheers from the crowd as darkness fell on Worthy Farm.
Hot Chip closed their set by covering 'Nothing Compares 2 U', the Prince song made famous by Sinead O'Connor back in 1990, bleeding the song into their own ballad, 'In The Privacy Of Our Love'.
