Little Simz has wowed Glastonbury without a band or backing singers for several songs and just the aid of a DJ for much of her set. The 30-year-old British rapper rhymed effortlessly while performing tracks from her Mercury Prize-winning album Sometimes I Might Be Introvert and her latest studio record No Thank You, at the Pyramid Stage on Saturday. Dressed in a leather jacket emblazoned with “Little Simz” and a long skirt, she began by performing her song Silhouette from the record No Thank You while strutting around the stage alone.

“And all I have on my agenda is my heart’s on fire.” Little Simz told the crowd they were ‘witnessing greatness’ (Yui Mok/PA) While performing her upcoming release The Code, a dancer dressed in red made shapes behind Little Simz as she rhymed the “ghetto” with the shoes “stilettos”, and also spoke about how “how you can move the goalposts and I’ll still keep scoring”. Later, Little Simz was also joined by dancers wearing helmets, and Nigerian.
