Wolf Alice managed to get to Glastonbury to play their festival set after desperately asking fans for a private jet due to their LA flight to the UK being cancelled.
The British band touched down in Heathrow Airport just hours before their performance at Glastonbury this afternoon.
They played the Pyramid Stage for about an hour before Billie Eilish’s headline set in the evening.
Fans said Wolf Alice were “incredible”, “unreal”, and “phenomenal”.
One wrote on Twitter: “That set reduced me to tears a few times I’m not ashamed to admit. Best festival band for years…”
Another said: “I was so invested in Wolf Alice’s mission to make it from LA in time for their set on the Pyramid Stage at Glastonbury and safe to say their set was amazing.”
The “Don’t Delete The Kisses” group had updated fans by posting an Instagram Story from the inside of an airplane, with Heathrow Airport tagged as a location this morning.
It comes after the band had previously said they were stranded in Los Angeles after their flight to London had been cancelled yesterday.
Wolf Alice wrote on Twitter on Wednesday: “Has anyone got a private jet in LA?
“Our flight’s been cancelled and we need to get to Glastonbury, not joking.”
The group’s bassist, Theo Ellis, later posted a story on Instagram to say the travel woes had continued.
He asked: “Serious request, everything has been cancelled going out of LAX, we are in desperate need of a flight tonight. Anyone got a private jet?
“Lol but really not. Tryna get to a Pyramid style stage.”
The band had been in the US to support Bleachers on Monday night and then Halsey the following evening.
More than 100,000 music-lovers descended at the famous Worthy Farm venue this week to watch big names including, Billie Eilish, Paul McCartney and Kendrick Lamar.
