PORTISHEAD, GLASTONBURY FESTIVAL, 1995: Beth Gibbons of Portishead live on the Acoustic Stage at the Glastonbury Festival, England, June 24, 1995. This infamous performance went ahead in a massively overfull tent after a near riot that led to the previous act Evan Dando being bottled off stage. Photograph: Rob Watkins. Portishead, a British trip-hop band formed in 1991, redefined electronic music with their dark, atmospheric sound. Albums like "Dummy" and "Portishead" showcased their haunting melodies and Beth Gibbons' emotive vocals, cementing their status as pioneers of the genre.
