See what Dua Lipa’s show at the Glastonbury festival in England was like

Singer Dua Lipa lit up a chilly night at the Glastonbury festival on Friday (28), transforming the Pyramid Stage into an open-air nightclub where thousands of people danced to hits including “Levitating” and “Houdini”.

Headlining the music festival in the south of England for the first time, Dua Lipa delivered a bright and energetic performance, featuring fireworks displays, five different outfits and an array of dancers and musicians.

The 28-year-old British-Albanian told the crowd what a dream it was for her to sing on Glastonbury’s Pyramid Stage, where artists including Paul McCartney, Beyoncé and David Bowie have performed throughout the festival’s 50-plus year history.

“Little me would be so excited right now,” she said. “Honestly, I couldn’t believe it. I feel very grateful.”

Born in London to Kosovo Albanian parents, Dua Lipa began covering other pop artists’ songs as a teenager and posting them on YouTube, which led to her signing with a record label in 2014, when she was 18. In 2019, she won two Grammy Awards, including Best New Artist.

The crowd at Glastonbury erupted in dance during hits like “New Rules” and “Love Again.”

“We are obsessed. Dua was on another level,” said Sophie Page, a 30-year-old fan from London who was in the audience. “I knew she would be good, but the energy she brought…her emotion really came through.”

Lipa also brought Tame Impala’s Kevin Parker, producer of her latest album, to the stage, and the pair performed “The Less I Know the Better” together.

She joins Coldplay, R&B singer SZA and country singer Shania Twain as headliners. The mostly female headliner list was announced following criticism over last year’s male-dominated lineup.

Earlier on Friday, group Seventeen made history as the first K-Pop group to perform at Glastonbury.
