The pop star stormed through her first ever headline slot at Glastonbury with an ambitious and dynamic performance that was stacked with smashes from beginning to end.
Her raspy mezzo-soprano cut cleanly through the warm Somerset air, particularly on the dramatic ballad Happy For You, and the purring, sensuous Houdini, which closed her set. She recalled one of her first gigs, playing to 10 people who “only came because we offered them free drinks” – and seemed overwhelmed by how much that audience had grown.Almost 100,000 people watched her play, with fans stretching all the way back to Rowmead, an area that used to be reserved for campers, but which has been opened up in 2024 to allow bigger crowds to the Pyramid Stage.“Little me would just be beside herself right now.
The show sometimes felt aimed at the global TV audience as much as the people in front of her, and the aerobic dance routines - while undoubtedly impressive - didn’t allow for much spontaneity. Even the outfits were planned to complement the club theme, with Dua’s fashion choices blending in with those of her dancers - from a chunky studded belt, to red-and-black flamed hotpants.
Anne-Marie introduced Aitch to The Other Stage to perform Psycho, and Bombay Bicycle Club were joined by Damon Albarn to play Blur's Tender and Heaven – which featured on Bombay Bicycle Club’s 2023 album My Big Day.Dance star Fred Again popped up in the Stonebridge Bar, causing chaos as thousands of fans tried to cram into one of the festival's smallest venues.
