The trio reunited on the Woodsies Stage yesterday (June 28) when the ˜In Waves producer led his set into ˜Waited All Night , a track off his forthcoming sophomore album that features both Romy and Sim.
They went on to perform Jamie xx s 2009 rework of Florence + the Machine‘s ˜You ve Got the Love , which itself a cover of the classic 1986 house song by The Source and Candi Staton. Before they took their leave, fans also watched Romy and Sims take part in a group hug with Jamie.
Social media users on Twitter/X shared their excitement at the reunion of the indie pop trio, who last performed together as a band in 2018. That set was unbelievable from Jamie xx, tweeted X user @L18SDL. Those who witnessed that at Glastonbury were very lucky.
Romy is also set to perform a set on the Woodsies Stage on Sunday (June 30).

Towards the end of his set, Jamie xx was also joined by Robyn, who arrived to perform their song ˜Life .
Both ˜Life and ˜Waited All Night are taken from ˜In Waves , the newest album by Jamie xx due for release on September 20.
In March, Romy shared with NME an update about a new album by The xx. We ve been in the studio since I last spoke to NME and we re in the studio again next week, so we re meeting up regularly, she told us at the BRITs. It s been really good. I think we ve all spent time apart and it s healthy to miss each other.
Jamie xx will host a huge homecoming show at Alexandra Palace in London on September 26 to launch ˜In Waves . The gig has since sold out, and another date at the same venue has been confirmed for the day before (September 25).
