There was a lot of controversy before Saturday night’s headline slot at Glastonbury 2014 as to whether Metallica should be appearing. We tracked all 3 headline bands for the weekend and analysed tweets during their performance window.
Arcade Fire
Metallica
Kasabian
The numbers speak for themselves. There isn’t any doubt that Metallica’s appearance at Glastonbury was a resounding success judging by the sheer volume of tweets about the band during their set. What’s interesting is that they attracted 20% negative sentiment, which shows that the doubts still remained and not everyone was enthralled with their appearance.
