Does anyone know anything about Underworld's performance at Glastonbury 1994? It's weird that we have audio and video of all the other Glastonbury appearances, 1992, 1998, 1999, 2016, but nothing for 1994.

The only information I've been able to find is that they played the NME stage:

But they don't even appear on the Glasto poster (https://i.pinimg.com/originals/6f/5b/49/6f5b49874e1a5a88041e516bf57a868b.jpg), so maybe they were a really late addition?

I dont remember them playing. I have no idea why this was on the Underworld Anthology site. I know they played Lowlands, Pukkelpop and Roskilde (the week after Glastonbury) in 1994. They played The Phoenix Festival twice in 1995.

The setlist page: https://www.setlist.fm/setlist/underworld/1994/worthy-farm-pilton-england-43c1db67.html was created by a user who has now been deleted. Three users say they were there... Maybe ask them!

Hm. I mean, it's not like it was added accidentally on the UW Anthology site or for a different date or year. They listed exactly who played on the NME Stage that year.

I figured between that and the setlist.fm listing, that it was accurate that they played, but maybe they didn't.

"live: glastonbury
the pyramid stage burned down a few weeks before the event. the weather was boiling. underworld played the nme stage alongside the beasties, manics, pretenders, radiohead and orbital."

All of those bands played across three days. Underworld didnt play alongside all of them. Beastie Boys, MSP, Pretenders was Friday, Orbital was Saturday and Radiohead played Sunday. So we dont even know which DAY they played... if at all.

I was able to get the setlist.fm entry removed. Yay!
