They’ve all been photographed by photographer Rankin to kick off Oxfam’s climate change at music festivals.

Also featured are Editors’ Tom Smith, The View, Luke Pritchard from The Kooks, VV Brown and Get Cape. Wear Cape. Fly.

Oxfam is asking festival-goers across the summer to paint themselves blue to remind the UK government to take action on climate change.

Little Boots, who is performing three times at Glasto said: “Doing nothing is not the answer to fighting climate change. Go blue, demand that the prime minister takes the lead in protecting the people of this beautiful planet and kiss goodbye to climate change. If everyone does their bit we can save the planet.”

Fatboy Slim, who has performed at the festival for the last 12 years said: “I love the idea of people painting their faces blue for climate change at festivals this summer. It’s a fun way to get people engaged in a more serious issue.

A video of the celebrity photo shoot will debut on the big screens at the Pyramid Stage during the festival.
