10-week-old baby becomes unexpected star of Glastonbury Festival 2024

Glastonbury Festival 2024 is well underway and a 10-week-old baby has already become the star of the legendary Worthy Farm event.

Attendees at the annual music event were left stunned when they spotted a tiny tot in a blue and white striped onesie and yellow ear defenders raving away during Annie Mac’s set on Friday.

The newborn appeared on the screens at the Other Stage for all to see, held up by his parents to loud cheers from the crowd – multiple times over.

He was met with a rapturous reception from atop his father’s shoulders as special effects on stage saw his image turn into a hallucinatory dance visual.

‘Oh my god, this baby, what a little legend,’ Mac said to the crowd of thousands as the tot appeared again.

She signed off her performance by thanking ‘everyone, Glastonbury and this baby.’

The parents of the coolest attendee of the weekend – 10-week-old Finlay – have said they will play his moment of techno fame on his wedding day.

Finlay’s father Tom Kay, a 39-year-old accountant, told the PA news agency the youngster was ‘loving the music’ and ‘enjoying the vibes’ of the 11.30am dance set.

‘Some people around us have sent us a video of it… it’s great to think (Mac) noticed,’ he continued.

Finlay’s mother Rosie Lewis, a 35-year-old originally from Edinburgh, said the video will probably be played at his wedding and 18th and 21st birthdays in years to come.

The couple, who have also brought their 10-year-old daughter Sofia, are only at the festival by chance after they won a competition for tickets through The Guardian newspaper.

‘You had to nominate a friend that you thought was worthy of winning tickets,’ she said, explaining she put her partner’s name down.

‘I had just given birth in the hospital, I thought he’ll never win, but he might get an email saying ‘Rosie’s nominated you for being worthy of winning Glastonbury tickets’ and make him feel good about himself – then he won them.’

Asked what tips they would give to parents thinking of bringing their young children to a festival, Rosie said: ‘Do it – you can overthink it and it can put you off.

‘But take more nappies than you think you’ll need and take more vests and outfits than you think you’ll need.’

Sofia, who is at her third Glastonbury since 2016, said: ‘And go to the Kidzfield.’

Kidzfield is an area of the festival dedicated to under-12s, including music lessons, face painting and storytelling.

Despite the child-friendly offering, Sofia said she is actually most looking forward to seeing the festival’s Arcadia laser-laden dance stage – complete with its new flame-belching Dragonfly installation, which has replaced the site’s famous Spider.
