Olivia Dean pays tribute to grandmother and Windrush generation at Glastonbury

Singer Olivia Dean dedicated her song Carmen to her grandmother and other members of the Windrush generation as she neared the end of her set on the Pyramid Stage at Glastonbury.

Dean wiped away tears and commented on “what a beautiful day” it was before she played her last song of the set, Dive. American R&B singer SZA will headline on Sunday, while country star Shania Twain will play the coveted Legends slot. This year’s festival is taking place in the week before the General Election, and Eavis said: “I feel a bit like we’ve stepped out of the election, even though it’s next week.“It’s a big one for us, we’ve never had a pre-election festival.”Glastonbury organisers have also decided the Euro 2024 football tournament will not be broadcast at the festival – with England set to face Slovakia in the last 16 at 5pm on Sunday.

Music fans at Glastonbury enjoying Friday’s line-up could be met with the “occasional light shower” but the day will mainly be “dry and bright”, according to the Met Office.Festivalgoer Saira Biruta was dressed in a flamingo costume
