British pop star Dua Lipa was the first headliner of Glastonbury 2024, as she took to the Pyramid Stage on Friday night (Friday 28 June) at Worthy Farm.<\/p>\n
Across the weekend, an eclectic lineup will perform on the sprawling festival\u2019s various stages \u2013 but organiser Emily Eavis has poured water on any rumours of \u201cbig surprises\u201d. <\/p>\n
Here is the full Glastonbury 2024 lineup and set times.<\/p>\n
Ahead of Dua Lipa\u2019s performance, Sugababes\u2019 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. <\/p>\n
Dua Lipa, 28, performed from her catalogue of hit songs, from Elton John collaboration \u201cCold Heart\u201d to \u201cNew Rules\u201d and \u201cTraining Season\u201d. <\/p>\n
Earlier this week, Glastonbury organisers confirmed they will not be showing England\u2019s Euro 2024 round-of-16 game during the festival.<\/p>\n
If you\u2019re following from home, the BBC has shared its schedule of coverage for the weekend.<\/p>\n

1719614006Just envisaging the hordes trying to make it to Charli XCX\u2019s set Charli XCX is kicking off her DJ set at Levels in about an hour. Apparently it\u2019s about a 7,000-capacity space, so that will be… interesting. Not sure why she\u2019s not on the Pyramid Stage, they could have just had her go on after Dua and throw one humungous after-party. Hopefully it won\u2019t be as mad a crush as Sugababes on West Holts earlier.<\/p>\n

1719613362Dua Lipa sings Elton John collaboration \u2018Cold Heart\u2019 after snubbing veteran singer last yearElton John seemed discernably unhappy at the fact that Dua Lipa wasn\u2019t present to sing \u201cCold Heart\u201d, their No 1 collaboration of 2021, at his farewell show at Glastonbury last year. <\/p>\n
Dua now pulls it out at her own headline slot, playing John\u2019s vocals but not mentioning him by name at all as she sings along. Hmmm. It\u2019d be a shame if she\u2019s allowed their relationship to go chilly, given he was one of her biggest champions from the beginning.<\/p>\n

1719611109Dua Lipa brings out Tame Impala\u2019s Kevin Parker for cover of \u201cThe Less I Know the Better”Interesting that Dua\u2019s chosen to bring out not Calvin Harris, with whom she worked on one of her biggest hits, \u201cOne Kiss\u201d, but Kevin Parker of Tame Impala fame, who produced her latest record Radical Optimism. Nice to hear \u201cThe Less I Know The Better\u201d from their 2015 album Currents, even if their voices don\u2019t really harmonise particularly well. Dua definitely off-key here.<\/p>\n
While you\u2019re here, have a read of Helen Brown\u2019s five-star review of Radical Optimism. <\/p>\n
