Crowds at SZA’s Glastonbury performance on Sunday appeared unusually sparse for a festival headliner, as the Grammy-nominated artist ’s set clashed with a number of other major sets. The R&B star , 34, closed the festival at Worthy Farm in Somerset on Sunday night (30 June), following headline sets from Dua Lipa and Coldplay on Friday and Saturday. SZA’s Glastonbury debut clashed with other big artists on the lineup, including Justice on the West Holts stage, James Blake on Woodsies, London Grammar on Park Stage and The National on Other Stage.
The Independent’s Louis Chilton has reported a “surprising number of people” are leaving the Worthy farm festival site ahead of SZA’s performance. “Have you seen the crowd at the Pyramid Stage?” one viewer at home questioned on X/Twitter after seeing the depleted number of people at Glastonbury’s main stage. SZA’s debut Glastonbury performance comes after some festival-goers questioned the decision to make her a headline artist, with many claiming they had never heard of her before she was announced on the line up.
SZA began her music career in 2011, after co-writing hits including “Consideration” for Rihanna ’s 2016 album Anti . The musician gained further recognition in 2017 for her critically adored debut studio album Ctrl . Her next album, SOS, topped the Billboard 200 chart and won the 2024 Grammy for Best Progressive R&B Album.
Lana , her next album, is expected to be released later this year. While cr.
