This year’s festival will see three pop artists headline the Pyramid Stage – Dua Lipa, Coldplay and SZA.
Glastonbury organiser Emily Eavis has defended the festival’s line-up amid criticism of there being a lack of rock bands as pop star Dua Lipa prepares to headline Friday’s music.
“Every year, we’ve been criticised for being too rock, too grime, too hip hop, too pop… it’s just part of our year.This year’s festival is taking place in the week before the General Election, which Eavis acknowledged they have “never had”.Dua Lipa performing during the Brit Awards 2024 “It’s a big one for us, we’ve never had a pre-election festival.”
“We used to have a screen here as no-one had any means of finding out what even the result was because we were so cut off from the outside,” she said.“I’m sure if people want to see it enough they can check for results or whatever on their phones. The 28-year-old is expected to treat revellers to a selection of her hit songs, including Houdini and Training Season from her third studio album, Radical Optimism, released earlier this year.
Thursday festivities included a tribute to the late DJ Annie Nightingale, the first female presenter on BBC Radio 1, who died in January at the age of 83. He told the PA news agency that he had initially planned to take his wife Rosie with him to the festival, but said they made a last-minute change after the birth of his son Dusty.
