Glastonbury Festival of Contempory Performing Arts 1993 like 1992, was hot and dry and included performances from Paul Brady, Billy Bragg, Rolf Harris, Belly, Baaba Maal and Suede. [1] Songs from this third album, plus a smattering of Led Zeppelin classics, made up the set-list for Robert Plant's acclaimed sunset performance on the Main Stage. [2]

K Foundation's plans to broadcast the track K Cera Cera from the main stage at the beginning and end of every day were scuppered by festival organiser Michael Eavis because, in his words, the record was "simply dreadful". [3] The record was instead broadcast at that year's Phoenix Festival. [4]
