Taking to the stage in a simple blue shirt and white slacks combo, Corbyn opted for a more intimate set - not the kind of big, flashy set-ups that the Pyramid Stage is used to. This is perhaps why he was lower down the bill than more polished performers like Foo Fighters and Katy Perry.
As far as the staging was concerned, he just borrowed the next band, Run The Jewel's stage set-up, whom he was touted to introduce, but sadly did not.
Alas, it may never come to pass that we witness Jeremy Corbyn picking up the mic and shouting: "THIS SHIT IS ABOUT TO GO OFF. PUT YOUR FISTS AND GUNS IN THE AIR FOR RUN. THE. MOTHERFUCKING. JEWELS."
Closing out his 15-minute set with a cover of Percy Bysshe Shelley's poem The Masque of Anarchy, Corbyn recited:
Rise like lions after slumber In unvanquishable number, Shake your chains to earth like dew Which in sleep had fallen on you – Ye are many - they are few.And then he was off. Short but sweet, though who knows? Perhaps we'll see Corbyn back as a headliner one year. Whether you're into Corbyn's stuff or not, there's no denying that he's a big draw. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oSEmuPMwvMQ
