ZAND has spoken to NME about their Reading Festival debut, queer community of fans, touring with Peaches and recent collab with Jeremy Corbyn. Watch our full video interview above.The rising alternative star caught up with NME backstage, shortly after performing at the festival for the first time – something they have dreamed of doing since they first came as a 16-year-old.“This has been on my bucket-list for a long, long, long, long, long time – so it is crazy to actually be playing the thing,” said the London-based artist, real name Zander Sweeney.With an audience they describe as “very slay”, ZAND said the turn-out was very representative of their fans who tend to be “probably non-binary, or just queer as fuck if not!”“They probably have dyed hair, or just some part of their head shaved,” ZAND explained.
