It has been seven years since Dua Lipa last played at Glastonbury, and she came back with a bang - and no less than five outfit changes!

In her episode of My Glastonbury she speaks about how her dream was to headline the Pyramid Stage, and her set was truly a dream come true.

Her styling was immaculate, her choreography was perfect, and her vocals were incredible. And on top of that, she brought out Tame Impala frontman Kevin Parker to perform The Less I Know The Better.

Back in 2022 Sugababes shut down Glastonbury’s Avalon Stage; this year they literally shut down the West Holts Stage, with signs nearby urging late-comers to stay away due to overcrowding.

Late-era bop “Red Dress” was a surprise highlight, with the vocals cooing over electric guitar.

The OG trio (Mutya Buena, Keisha Buchanan and Siobhán Donaghy) seemed to have a blast on stage, and for many punters they ticked numerous boxes: nostalgia, bangers, and just for being Sugababes!

K-pop comes to Glastonbury’s Pyramid Stage for the first time! With over 10 million albums sold last year alone, SEVENTEEN are perhaps the biggest act in this year’s lineup that you may not have heard of.

The band’s name is derived from their set-up: 13 members, split into three units (vocals, hip-hop, and dancing), and coming together to form one band: 13+3+1=17, or SEVENTEEN.

Their jaw-dropping choreography culminated with ‘Very Nice’, which included half a dozen false endings, the energy building each time until its final conclusion.

Formed in North London in 2006, it didn't take them long to shoot to fame and played Reading & Leeds Festival for three years on the trot.

Thankfully after a hiatus, they returned in 2019 and are now back for their first Glastonbury performance in ten years - and they weren’t alone… They brought out special guest Damon Albarn from Blur for a surprise performance of their new collaboration ‘Heaven’, as well as a rendition of the Blur classic ‘Tender’.

Hailing from California, USA, Remi Wolf combines elements of pop, soul, funk, lo-fi, and hip-hop, in a recipe that feels completely unique to her.

She debuted in 2019 with the self-released album You're A Dog!, and has since collaborated with artists like Paramore, Norah Jones and Jacob Collier.

Her new album Big Ideas is set for release in July, and during her set, the Glastonbury audience were treated to an exclusive first play of her new single ‘Soup’.

The London born songstress is known for heartbreaking ballads and self-love anthems. Olivia Dean’s musical career started as a backing vocalist for Rudimental at age 17.

In 2023, Dean was selected as BBC Music Introducing Artist of the Year. In the same year, she also released her first studio album ‘Messy’, and embarked on a headline tour in spring 2024.

She performed in a T-shirt that paid tribute to her grandmother (who was the inspiration behind her track 'Carmen'), and brought out an array of wonderful instruments including cowbells, trumpets and banana-shaped maracas.

Watch her unmissable set to see her infectious energy and signature soulful style.
