Glastonbury 2024

[272BHP]

BBC are reporting on SZA.

"So far the smallest audience I’ve ever seen for a Glastonbury headliner"

Unfair putting her in this position.

Hannah Reid of London Grammar looks so different! She had problems with stage fright and - I think - fibromyalgia. Still the same amazing voice though. Wow! Great to see them playing Glastonbury.

She also had a baby 10 weeks ago!

Hell to the Liars. Amazing live rendition of a wonderful song.

They are an awesome band. Nothing superfluous, nothing wasted.

I listen to quite a lot of contemporary pop, r&b and chart music.

Never heard of SZA or I don't think any of her music.

Odd as I'm enjoying it.

Compared to coldplay yesterday it looks like less than half?

Rather than see somebody you don’t know, you’d be better off making an early exit.

The visuals are good, though.

Same, I often let Spotify playlists run with that genre, sometimes listen to 1xtra and never heard of her. Feeling very old.

I hadn’t heard any of her stuff either. I am not an rnb fan at all but it’s quite easy to listen to. I don’t know why they have put her in this slot though.

What's with the caveman set?

[abzmike]

Not sure the Pyramid stage is the best arena for this show.

Looks as though everyone had the good sense go to the Other stage and watch The National.

Proper band, killing it as usual

SZR - awful muffled voice, sounds like singing thru her nose & with a gumshield in.

Jesus, this is crap!!! I'm going to bed

She's good,.but she's been doing Arenas and that doesn't translate well to the Pyramid, it needs bands/artists used to playing stadiums

I guess she has an arena sized crowd at least

She's now sitting on an 8 ft ant. Is this significant? (not taking the piss, genuinely enquiring as I know nothing about her)

Sound problems reported at Glastonbury with her mic. Other artists have had issues. It’s not her.

[jimothyc]

Does she ever move, or is she going to sit on that ant for the whole set? Going back to watching James Blake till Justice come on

I’ve watched the last 25 glasto headliners , 10 there but a bit old and not now as I’m a bit old and I have say I think that was the best I have seen. It’s different and it’s not the foos but it was good

Yep. Watching this on the iplayer UHD stream and it just sounds broken.

How can Glastonbury come from Dua Lip and Coldplay headliners and end up with this?

I’m doing my best to understand the lyrics. I’m hoping a roady will run in and give her a new microphone.

You are not wrong!
