First Glastonbury Live Album Will Feature Coldplay, Muse and More

The legendary Glastonbury festival in the UK is set to release its first ever live album. The songs for the album will be taken from performances at this year's event.
Artists who have agreed to feature on the album include headliners Muse and Coldplay, along with Foals, The 1975, The Last Shadow Puppets, Chvrhces, Two Door Cinema Club, Editors, Laura Mvula and Years & Years. The artist's who have agreed to appear on the album will dedicate one song during their sets to Glastonbury Live. The dedicated song will subsequently appear on the album.
All profits from the record will go towards Oxfam's Refugee Crisis Appeal which is aimed at increasing pressure on world leaders to deal with the ongoing refugee crisis in the Mediterranean region. Glastonbury Live is also being made in memory of UK Labour MP Jo Cox who was murdered while at an advice surgery in her constituency office in Batley, West Yorkshire last week. Before becoming an MP Cox was a well known advocate and campaigner for refugees.
Oxfam said in a statement about the record, "e’re pushing for political change. People forced to flee their homes need to be kept safe, supported and together. All Parlophone's profits from the album will go to Oxfam’s Refugee Crisis Appeal, providing life-saving essentials like food, water and sanitation".
The album will be released by Parlophone Records on July 11.
