Jeff Goldblum has teased his return to Glastonbury Festival following his packed West Holts appearance at 2019’s event.

“I chose to put this song out first so I could close one chapter of my life and start another” explains the Londoner – “Into a new era with a new sound! It’s about moving on and not allowing anyone to get in the way of that. It also felt like a natural first song choice as I made it with the brilliant same crew I made ‘New Rules’ with”.

Catch the full visual below; Dua Lipa will give ‘Don’t Start Now’ its live premiere at the EMA’s in Seville this coming weekend:
