Welcome to 'Listen To The Sirens' a blog based site that aims to share some quality live Gary Numan recordings and Numan related artists. For a number of years I have run a similar site that is focused on The Stranglers (Aural Sculptors). This Numan based site, like the Stranglers one, is absolutely non-profit making. All recordings are shared freely for and by like minded fans. Similarly, no official material will appear on this site. Go and buy it/download it legitimately and support the artist.

Glastonbury Festival 28th June 2025 DVD

 


Here then is a DVD I authored this weekend of Gary’s Glastonbury set. I have followed some of the reaction to this, his first appearance at the renowned Somerset festival, and the reaction was very positive indeed. All credit to Gary Numan. Even as a seasoned performer, Glastonbury is a tough gig, which is why so many bands opt for pre-Glastonbury warm up gigs (Numan did three shows in Brighton in preparation). This is entirely understandable, Glastonbury being the most famous festival in the world, no other event is going to put you and your band in front of so many people, be they physically present or watching on television. He may have played a multitude of huge arenas in his career, but playing to an audience who have specifically paid out to see you and you alone is a far different proposition to playing to a massive audience who at a push may know ‘Cars’ and ‘Are ‘Friends’ Electric? I have no idea why ‘Halo’ was but from the running, I assume for programming purposes to bring the broadcast in on just under an hour. Who knows, either way, it makes for a great addition to the collection.
