Party-goers at Glastonbury Festival were left stunned seeing a Domino’s delivery worker fly over their heads while wearing a jetpack. An innovative feat, Domino’s Pizza has partnered with Gravity Industries, a UK-based tech company that specialises in jet suits, to deliver food at the famous Glastonbury festival.
The suit delivered pizzas to festival-goers who were unable to make it to the food stands due to the massive crowds. The jet suit pilots were fly directly to their customers without having to leave their spot in the crowd.
Not only did Domino’s Pizza Jet Suit catch the attention of the crowd, but it also caught the attention of social media users. One user tweeted, “wtf is going on at Domino’s Glastonbury then” along with a video of the Domino’s delivery worker landing.

Footage first emerged on Tuesday where people arriving early for the festival witnessed a man in a jet suit hover around Glastonbury. After the pilot placed two pizzas into the custom-made delivery box at the top of his suit, he blasted off into the air and controlled movement using hand gestures. This allowed the pilot to manoeuvre through the crowds of Glastonbury with ease.
Glasto, more commonly known by its name Glastonbury Festival, takes place over the course of five days. This year, it is taking place between Wednesday, June 21 until Monday, June 26. The lineup for 2023 includes artists such as Central Cee, Lil Nas X, Lewis Capaldi, Lizzo, Royal Blood, and Carly Rae Jepson. Normally, around 200,000 people attend this festival every year. Nonetheless, this year’s Glastonbury marks the world’s first pizza company to deliver food via jet pack.
It is said that the jet suit idea was inspired by Elton John’s “Rocket Man” song. Elton John will be headlining the Pyramid Stage on Sunday (June 25). Over the course of the event, musicians including Arctic Monkeys and Guns N’ Roses will also be headlining the festival. However, it is still unsure whether Arctic Monkey’s will be performing. The frontman of the band, Alex Turner, was diagnosed with acute laryngitis.
In addition to this, Sir Elton John’s husband has revealed that four other stars would be performing alongside Elton. The Evening Standard speculated a variety of possible celebrities include Britney Spears, Dua Lipa, Harry Styles, Eminem, Kate Bush, and Taron Egerton.
Live performances from the festival will be available to watch on the BBC.
