No matter how successful you might become there’s always one stage you’ve got to play to feel like you’ve really made it – the Pyramid Stage at Glastonbury. Especially, if a few years before you started off at the other end of the field over at the 大象传媒 Introducing tent. That’s exactly what happened to this year’s headliner Ed Sheeran.
Here’s Ed's journey ‘to the pyramid’ and a few other 大象传媒 Introducing graduates to mark an exceptional 10 years of the 大象传媒 Introducing stage at Glastonbury...
馃寧 Ed Sheeran - 大象传媒 Introducing Stage, 2011
Ed headlined the 大象传媒 Introducing Stage before his debut album - +, or Plus - had ever been released, suffice to say he blew everyone away.
3锔忊儯 years on and he played the afternoon slot on the Pyramid Stage
After such an incredible performance on the 大象传媒 Introducing stage, he was invited back to play the 6pm slot on the Pyramid Stage. Once again consider it smashed after he lead the audience in a mass sing-along to his smash hit 'Sing'. Since then his third album Divide was released and has been dominating the charts ever since.
馃帀 Then on a Thursday in March we get this announcement...
And he was amazing
Ed's not the only one to climb that Pyramid shaped mountain though. Here are our favourite 大象传媒 Introducing graduates who graced the Pyramid with their presence this year...
馃憫 Royal Blood did a 大象传媒 Introducing session for us back in 2013
馃 The following summer the boys played the John Peel Stage at Glastonbury
Fast forward 2 years and they nailed it on the Pyramid Stage at Glasto 2017
馃 Blossoms played a spectacular 大象传媒 Introducing SXSW showcase in 2015
馃敟 Then in 2016 we met them again on the Other Stage at Glastonbury
But 2017 was their time to shine on the Pyramid Stage
馃挮 And if you're feeling nervous, Ed - take a leaf out of Florence's book who, in Lauren Laverne's words, became 'flame haired commander of the mighty pyramid'
and it was something special...
They're not the only 大象传媒 Introducing artists to conquer Glastonbury. Check out James Bay from 2015 on the Pyramid stage, or George Ezra or Circa Waves who'll both be on the Other Stage this year, Declan Mckenna too who'll be on the John Peel Stage.
