RIZZLE Kicks have just performed in front of thousands of fans - and one of the band members' parents both made centre stage at Glastonbury 2025.
The British hip-hop duo, Jordan Stephens and Harley Alexander-Sule, are childhood friends who met when they were both toddlers, and now they've just featured on one of the main stages at Glastonbury Festival.

Following a live Drum and Bass performance from Fabio and the Grooverider and the Outlook Orchestra, festival-goers flocked to the Other Stage to see Rizzle Kicks perform a live 45-minute slot.
There's no doubt that the duo were going to be at Glastonbury with some fresh music after they released the 'Competition is for Losers' album back in February 2025.
The musical duo took to the stage with 'Lost Generation', a classic, which was met with plenty of crowd singing and hands in the air. This is the first live appearance after a nine-year hiatus.
Both artists were well-dressed for the festival, with Jordan donning a retro England World Cup 90' football shirt with 'Gary Lineker 10' across the back.
Rizzle Kicks brought the heat on a sunny day, but they wouldn't have been as good as they were if not for the phenomenal musical backing of trumpet player, Jack Birchwood, and saxophone player, who I couldn't catch the name of due to the amount of noise he was receiving from the crowd.

Songs then followed, including 'When I was a Youngster', 'Traveller's Chant', and then, the big one, 'Mumma Do the Hump'.
During this performance, the crowd was jumping up and down as Harley and Jordan got people pumped up in the hot weather. And then, towards the end of that song, a woman came out onto the stage holding a Palestinian flag and shouting 'Free Palestine'.
With most people left feeling confused, myself included, Jordan revealed that it was his mum and then had a sing-along with her before she left the stage. Jordan's mum returned towards the end of the whole set.
As well as his mum, the Rizzle Kicks star revealed that one of the band members performing alongside the duo was actually his father - and managed to get the whole of the Other Stage applauding for him after the set.
It was just a parental affair, though, as music star Niko B made an appearance, performing 'Why's this Dealer' with the boys; this song got everyone rocking.
New songs from the 'Competition is for Losers' album were then played before a big finale of, you guessed it, down with the trumpets.
Speaking after the final song, Jordan said, "It means the world, and we're both sober, so we're experiencing this in real time."
The boys were great and although the crowd didn't recognise the songs from the new album, Rizzle Kicks deserved a place on the Other Stage, definitely. 9/10
