For the first time in Glastonbury history, the festival has not one but two female headliners. After British pop star Dua Lipa takes to the Pyramid Stage on Friday 28 June, US R&B singer SZA will close the event with her own headline performance on Sunday 30 June. The Grammy -winning singer-songwriter was announced as a headliner in March , after she played four sold-out shows at the O2 Arena in London last year.
This will mark SZA’s debut performance at Glastonbury . The 34-year-old R&B artist, whose real name is Solána Imani Rowe, began her music career in 2011, after co-writing hits including “Consideration” for Rihanna ’s 2016 album Anti . She also contributed to Beyoncé and Nicki Minaj’s 2014 single “Feeling Myself”.
SZA 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.
Here’s everything you need to know about how to watch SZA’s Glastonbury headline performance. SZA will close the festival with her performance from 9:30pm-11:15pm. Her set on the Pyramid Stage will follow Janelle Monae from 5:45-6:45om and Burna Boy from 7:30-8:30pm.
Country-pop legend Shania Twain will perform that afternoon in this year’s Legends Slot from 3:45-5pm. In terms of set clashes, SZA’s performance will coincide with The National on the Other Stage and James B.
