Four full decades after Chris Stein first met Debbie Harry, Blondie remain a force to be reckoned with.
The most commercially successful band to emerge from New York's late '70s new wave scene, Blondie embraced the sound of '60s girl groups with a punk sensibility, and went onto become that rarest commodity - pop stars with genuine credibility.
In an era when rock acts were rarely spotted outside the music press, Debbie Harry's picture graced the pages of teen rags, tabloids and style mags.
From punk to disco, reggae, hip-hop and back to rock again, few acts have covered so many genres, and won fans across so many generations. Their set on the Other Stage is bound to be one of the weekend's biggest crowd-pleasers.
