Fans have flocked to defend SZA and demand ‘justice’ for the Grammy-winning star following her Glastonbury Festival set. The American singer and songwriter – real name Solána Imani Rowe – headlined the Pyramid Stage on Sunday night, closing the Worthy Farm music extravaganza in spectacular style. It didn’t go without a hitch though, sadly, as SZA, 34, became the latest performer to be hit by technical issues while on stage.
The likes of Shania Twain – who played the Legends slot earlier today to a crowd of thousands – were also caught up in the nightmare sound problems, leaving both revellers in Somerset and viewers at home frustrated. As soon as SZA came out, it was clear something wasn’t quite right, as the US star began 15 minutes late. She then launched into hits including Love Galore, the day after her headline show at British Summer Time in London’s Hyde Park.
Slamming the technical faults, fans rushed to social media to beg for an intervention. X user glassarmy blasted: ‘justice for sza!! what have glastonbury done to her mic to make her vocals sound this way, this is excruciating.’ ‘This is so hard to watch as a fan.
Her management need to be spitting fires on the sidelines’, added MRidzBh. christo_tweets added that it was ‘heartbreaking’ to watch SZA battle the microphone blunder, while Chris_LCFC1884 asked: ‘Is it meant to sound like she’s announcing the next arrival at platform 3 at Euston?’ ‘I’ve turned it off it’s awful.
