THE second day of music at Glastonbury has officially kicked off as Rick Astley opened the Pyramid Stage on Saturday, June 24.
Wowing the crowds with his impressive set, his performance was not the only thing that fans enjoyed.
As Glastonbury security staff broke out into dance during Astley’s iconic hit song “Never Gonna Give You Up.”
With spins and hands waving in the air, security staff looked like they were having the time of their life as Astley sang on stage.

From covering all the hits and some new tunes, Astley did it all from dancing on stage, getting the hairdryer to fix his hair and playing on the drums, covering AC/DC.
One Twitter user summed it up by sharing: “What an amazing set from Rick Astley! The man is a legend!”
