Fact #105345

Jamie Lillywhite (manager, Ellie Goulding) : When people ask for her favourite show over the years, one that she often singles out is her first appearance at Glastonbury on the John Peel Stage. The tent was jam-packed and out the door. It was a real moment for her. That was the show when she realised things needed to change and had to up her game. Something just clicked in her brain, that she was a performer now.

Since then, she really owns those festival stages.
