Watch: Lou Reed Performs With Gorillaz At Glastonbury

We’re almost a week removed from Gorillaz headlining performance at Glastonbury, where Damon Albarn and his cartoon band were asked to fill in for U2 who canceled due to Bono’s bad back. It’s tough for anyone to match a ‘U2-style’ show, but Gorillaz mixed exciting visuals and a damn fine roster of all-star guests to jazz up the performance.

The Clash’s Mick Jones and Paul Simonon, Snoop Dogg, Shaun Ryder, De La Soul, Bobby Womack, The Fall’s Mark E Smith, Bashy and Kano all joined Gorillaz on Glastonbury’s Pyramid Stage last Friday (June 25). But it was Lou Reed who made headlines when it was announced he’d share the stage with Albarn and Co.

Making his debut live performance with Gorillaz, Reed, who added vocals to “Some Kind of Nature” on the band’s latest album Plastic beach, didn’t exactly blast onto the stage strumming the opening chords of “Sweet Jane,” pushing the sea of concertgoers over the edge of hysteria, but rather casually arrived onstage unannounced, playing a guitar solo before the song started and then began singing his part.

But he was there! And while it might not have been history-making, it was still Lou Reed performing at a mega festival alongside Damon Albarn and 1/2 of the Clash.
