Wilderness is over for another year - and what a weekend it was, with Jessie Ware, Metronomy and Sam Smith proving the true highlights. Check out our stunning and exclusive photos of their sets here (and one of Burt Bacharach).
Jessie Ware was amazing. While the promise of ‘I’m going to play you my entire new album’ is usually enough to send an audience running, the strength of Ware’s new material (and a few classics) was enough to keep the crowds enraptured. The soon-to-be-married London star has already scored huge critical acclaim, and the pop sounds on show from album number two suggest mainstream success will be hers in months.
Friday night saw Metronomy perform a spectacular headline set in the driving rain, as the first hints of Hurricane Bertha swept into the Oxfordshire countryside, but despite torrential downpours, spirits were high for the Love Letters’ collective’s spectacular performance.
Sam Smith brought his dreamy soul sounds to the wet and bedraggled Oxford audience, warming hearts with his international smash ‘Stay With Me’ and starting something of a party with ‘Money On My Mind’ and Naughty Boy collaboration, ‘La La La’.
