Alanis Morissette’s iconic lyric from Ironic—“It’s like 10,000 spoons when all you need is a knife”—has sparked a playful new tradition at Glastonbury. A post in the Glasto Chat group suggested attendees bring and wave shiny spoons during her set to mimic the idea of “10,000 spoons” waving together on the field.
This quirky fan initiative gained traction with 79 reactions on social media and spilled over into the r/glastonbury_festival subreddit. Responses ranged from enthusiastic plans to bring spoons, sporknives, or forks, to humorous skepticism and cheeky festival insider jokes about spoons.
The idea taps into the creative, interactive vibe Glastonbury is known for—fans engaging with music moments in a uniquely collective way. While some embrace the spirit wholeheartedly, others poke fun or express mild frustration, adding to the lively banter around the event.
Expect to see plenty of shiny utensils aloft when Morissette hits the stage — because why not turn a classic lyric into a memorable festival ritual?
