Jamie xx Reunites With the xx, Performs With Robyn at Glastonbury
The xx reunited onstage for the first time in nearly six years Saturday as Jamie xx was joined by band mates Oliver Sim and Romy during his Glastonbury set.
The trio stage a quasi-reunion on Jamie xx’s upcoming album In Waves on the song “Waited All Night,” which features both Sim and Romy. While the LP isn’t due out until September 20, the xx members — who haven’t performed together as the xx since July 2018 — debuted the track during Jamie xx’s Glastonbury set, as well as performed their rendition of Candi Staton’s “You Got the Love.”

Robyn and I have spent time working together and hanging out for some years now, it’s always a joy and always inspiring, I’m so glad and grateful that she is a part of In Waves.”
