Glastonbury live: SZA closes festival amid technical issues

Must read

SZA performs at Glastonbury 2024

R&B artist SZA closed Glastonbury Festival 2024, after Shania Twain took on the coveted Legends Slot.

The Grammy-winning star appeared to have a much smaller audience than earlier headliners Coldplay and Dua Lipa, as revellers rushed home to beat traffic and amid four other major stage clashes.

Earlier, pop-punk singer Avril Lavigne tore up the Other Stage with a set comprising hits such as “Sk8r Boi” and “My Happy Ending”, while Shania Twain suffered with sound issues on the Legends Slot.

On Saturday night, rock band Coldplay headlined the Pyramid Stage for a record-breaking fifth time, after pop star Dua Lipa dazzled the crowds on Friday (28 June).

In a career-spanning set, the band performed a number of their biggest hits including “Yellow” and “Clocks”, while also bringing out a number of surprise guests including rapper Little Simz, singer Laura Mvula, and Back to the Future star Michael J Fox.

Here is the full Glastonbury 2024 lineup and set times.

Did Banksy and Idles miss the mark with their Glastonbury protests?

“During a set on Friday, rock band IDLES led attendees in a rousing chant of ‘F*** the King’, while the crowd passed around a prop depicting child refugees in a dinghy,” writes The Independent’s Ryan Coogan. “The prop, which the band denies any knowledge of, was created and distributed by Banksy – another artist famous for his use of subtle political metaphor.”
