Dua Lipa, 28, brought her all on Friday nightas she performed some of her biggest hits during her headline set at Glastonbury Festival but was plagued with some sound issues

Dua Lipa struggled with a few sound issues during her headline set at Glastonbury Festival , leaving fans watching at home on the BBC divided as they tuned into her 'dream come true' set.

However, throughout her set, she had a few sound issues as viewers at home took to social media to complain about Glastonbury's yearly technical issues. One fan in the crowd even told the Mirror how “a very loud sound overlapped from another stage” was creating a dull bass thud. Introducing him, Dua said: "This is a person who I admire and who I asked to work with on my album Radical Optimism. Tonight I get to pretend to be in Tame Impala.... please welcome Kevin Parker." Speaking to the crowd on Friday night, Dua said she had dreamed about headlining Glastonbury Festival 'her whole life' before she kicked off her Pyramid stage slot.

However, a number of viewers quickly defended the singer, insisting that she was indeed performing live. One person tweeted: "Why are people in this thread saying she's miming? Looks like she's singing live to me #Glastonbury", a different user affirmed: "No Dua Lipa is not miming. Majority of the main vocal parts are quite clearly live. She's smashing it and everyone on stage look like they're having the time of their lives.

Meanwhile, during her 2020 hit song Levitating, the singer asked the crowd if they were ready “to go to the moon”. The headline set also saw her bring out surprise guest Kevin Parker from Tame Impala, performing The Less I Know The Better from the group’s repertoire. Parker appeared to have problems with his microphone, which Dua Lipa laughed off.
