Dua Lipa performs 'Levitating' during Glastonbury headline set

British pop star Dua Lipa was the first headliner of Glastonbury 2024, as she took to the Pyramid Stage on Friday night (28 June) at Worthy Farm. Charli XCX followed with a rammed set on the tiny Levels stage.

Across the weekend, an eclectic lineup will perform on the sprawling festival’s various stages – but organiser Emily Eavis has poured water on any rumours of “big surprises”.

Coldplay will headline the Pyramid Stage tonight for a record-breaking fifth time, while other major sets come from The Last Dinner Party, Cyndi Lauper and Little Simz.

Here is the full Glastonbury 2024 lineup and set times.

Ahead of Dua Lipa’s performance, which was plagued with a broadcasting issue on the BBC, Sugababes’ set on the West Holts stage drew such huge crowds there were reports of fans fainting during their show, while security blocked others from entering in an attempt to reduce overcrowding.

If you’re following from home, the BBC has shared its schedule of coverage for the weekend.

I love Fat White Family

And so does everyone at the Woodsies stage, from the looks of things. I think Mark Beaumont is probably there somewhere, you can read his fantastic interview with frontman Lias Saoudi here:

Dua Lipa review, Glastonbury 2024: More than mere pop spectacle

Though the performance is tightly drilled – even the confetti deployment seems studied – passion rings through in moments of cheeky theatricality, writes Jazz Monroe

Read our Sugababes review after the band performed a huge (overcrowded) set on West Holts

Adam is also the one behind this fab review of Sugababes on West Holts

Sugababe’s Glastonbury stage was misguided at best, irresponsible at worst review

Extreme overcrowding was easily avoidable, but at least on stage, the band are able to have a blast

Welcome back to The Independent’s Glastonbury liveblog

Hello hello! I’m back, after a bit of a kip, ready for another 10-hour Glastonbury shift. I’m currently tuned into The Last Dinner Party, who I’ve never got on with, but hey, some people like them, and that’s fine. I wondered if this set on the Other Stage might have swayed me but so far I’m still finding it very contrived. I get the appeal, mind, especially for anyone with a penchant for floaty dresses (usually me). It just leaves me cold.

What is getting me fired up is this fantastic comment by Adam on last night’s Dua Lipa set + Charli XCX’s tiny show at Levels, as he wonders whether Glasto might have missed a trick when it comes to our most pioneering pop girlies.

Charli XCX’s tiny, must-see set proved that Glastonbury misjudged our big pop girls

Nothing shimmered at Glastonbury on Friday so much as Charli XCX’s sweaty bacchanal on one of its smallest stages. Adam White argues that Glastonbury has overlooked the ‘Brat’ artist, along with pop ladies-in-waiting like Chappell Roan and Sabrina Carpenter, to its own detriment

BBC Breakfast asked Cox how it felt to reunite with the band after his performance. Cox said: “I haven’t done this song since 1997. That was off the scale, I think I remember it.

“My two ambitions growing up were Top of the Pops and Glastonbury.” Full story:
