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).
