Texas, Sweet Texas, and That Glastonbury Gig
So, you wanna know how many times Texas has graced the hallowed grounds of Glastonbury? Well, buckle up, 'cause this is gonna be a rollercoaster of facts and mildly amusing anecdotes.
Texas: The State, Not the Band
Let's clear something up right away: we're talking about the Scottish rock band Texas, not the actual state. I mean, imagine if Texas the state decided to show up at Glastonbury. That would be one hell of a stage invasion! Picture cowboys, line dancing, and a whole lot of barbecue. Now that would be a festival to remember.
The Glastonbury Gig: A One-Hit Wonder?
Okay, back to reality. Texas, the band, has actually only played Glastonbury once. Just once! It's like they said, "One and done, baby!" This happened way back in 1999. So, if you were hoping for a yearly dose of Texas at Glastonbury, I'm afraid you're out of luck. Unless, of course, they decide to reunite, dust off their guitars, and make a surprise appearance. Fingers crossed!
Why So Few?
Now, you might be wondering, "Why only once? What gives?" Well, the music industry is a fickle beast, my friend. Bands come, bands go, and Glastonbury has a long list of acts vying for a spot on that legendary Pyramid Stage. So, while it's a shame Texas didn't return, there's always hope for the future.
