As one of the biggest music festivals in the world, Glastonbury is guaranteed to get people talking. And it seems Stormzy’s headline set was the one thing people couldn’t stop talking about.

According to new research from Ibis Hotels, between Wednesday 26th June and Monday 1st July there were 904,280 tweetstalked about the festival, with 73.3% of these being positive.

When looking at headliners, Stormzy comes out as a clear winner, with a whopping 145,730 tweets sent about him – that’s 16% of all tweets about Glastonbury!

The second most talked about headliners were the Killers, with 29,060 tweets sent discussing them. Here’s the top 5 most talked about headliners:

  3. The Cure – 25,949 mentions
  4. Kylie Minogue – 23,438 mentions
  5. Chemical Brothers – 8,418 mentions
