'Dream come true' for singer going to Glastonbury

A singer-songwriter says it is a "dream come true" to be performing at Glastonbury. Fiona-Lee, 24, from Howden, East Yorkshire, has been chosen to play at one of the world's biggest music festivals on 26 June. She will perform six songs from her debut EP Nothing Compares to Nineteen on the BBC Introducing stage, alongside several other new British artists. "I've never even been to the festival so the fact that I'm playing is absolutely mental," she said. Fiona said she grew up listening to bands such as Pink Floyd, Kings of Leon and Fleetwood Mac. At the age of 14, Fiona started to teach herself guitar, spending her lunch hours in the music room, even skipping some lessons to pursue her interest. While she described herself as "very shy" in school, she discovered her passion for performing during her first open mic night at the School of Rock in Goole when she was 15. "The reaction from everyone was so nice and positive and it felt so good. "That was the moment I realised it was what I wanted to do and it was such a buzz," she said. She went on to perform in Hull at the age of 17 when she first started to get into the city's music scene. Fiona found out she would be performing at Glastonbury during a gig with BBC Introducing at the end of May. When she was informed on stage, she said she was "just in shock". "Afterwards I ran into the control room and just started jumping up and down and just burst into tears. "All of the presenters could see me through the glass. It was really overwhelming and just made my day," she said. She added: "I'm bringing one of my best mates and it's going to be the best weekend ever." Steve and Bev, Fiona's parents said they were "chuffed" to hear she would be performing at Glastonbury. "Years ago we would be somewhat taken aback at open mic nights. "After Fi had played her set, strangers would come up to congratulate us, shake our hands and enthuse about her. "We would hold our hands up and say that it had nothing to do with us, it's just her," they said. Fiona will also be headlining the BBC Introducing Stage at the Humber Street Festival at Hull Marina in August.

Astroworld is back in the spotlight and survivors are sharing haunting stories on TikTok

Astroworld is back in the news, and social media has some thoughts. In November 2021, a deadly crowd surge at Travis Scott's Astroworld music festival claimed the lives of 10 people. The then-annual event, held in the rapper's hometown of Houston, became one of the worst concert tragedies in U.S. history. It is now the subject of the new Netflix documentary Trainwreck: The Astroworld Tragedy. With renewed interest in the incident, survivors have taken to social media to share their own footage from the event. 'Only if I knew bro,' one attendee posted on TikTok over footage of himself in the crowd. The audio accompanying the clip is taken from the documentary: 'It started getting pretty hectic,' one survivor says. 'I'm like 'Oh my god I can't take a deep breath,'' adds another. 'Since everyone else is sharing their Astroworld experience,' another TikTok user wrote in the caption of a clip, which shows him tightly packed in the crowd as Scott performs. 'Not too long after this I got bumped into due to the crowd swaying and ended up falling on top of someone in the fetal position,' he wrote. 'We ended up getting out but man it was a struggle.' In other horrifying footage, the panicking audience can be heard calling for help. 'I've never posted this video before, rest in peace to all innocent lives lost,' the closed captions read over the video. Even before Scott took the stage, the crowd seemed to sense something was wrong. 'We are gonna die,' one attendee 'jokes' in a clip, now with 10.3 million views, filming the unsafe conditions. 'Saying this as a joke but on the inside this was a real feeling,' she wrote in the closed captions. 'This about to be bad when it starts,' another can be heard saying. 'Bro literally called it,' the captions add. 'I believe Astroworld 2021 was not an accident,' crowd safety expert Scott Davidson says in the documentary. 'It was an inevitability due to the lack of foresight and the abandonment of basic safety protocols.' Nearly 5,000 people were injured as a result of the crush. The Netflix documentary, which premiered on June 10, features interviews with several survivors. In total, 10 people lost their lives: Axel Acosta, Danish Baig, Rudy Peña, Madison Dubiski, Franco Patiño, Jacob Jurinek, John Hilgert, Bharti Shahani, Brianna Rodriguez, and Ezra Blount, who was just nine years old.
