Once the issue was fixed however, SZA sounded great and went on to deliver an enchanting performance.SZA kicked off her set with ‘PSA’ and ‘Love Galore’, and played other hits like ‘F2F’ and ‘Kill Bill’ later on in the show.SZA performando ‘Love Galore’ no Glastonbury, em Londres pic.twitter.com/D0jrU4lA0R— SZA ICONIC (@szaiconic) June 30, 2024.@SZA performing ‘Snooze’ at Glastonbury! pic.twitter.com/P5MsEVAup2— SZA Source (@sourcesza) June 30, 2024.@SZA performing ‘Low’ at Glastonbury! pic.twitter.com/Lu4GFa2lJZ— SZA Source (@sourcesza) June 30, 2024‘PSA’‘Love Galore’‘Broken Clocks’‘All The Stars’‘Prom’‘Garden (Say It Like Dat)’‘Drew Barrymore’‘F2F’‘Forgiveless’‘Ghost in the Machine’‘Blind’‘Shirt’‘Kiss Me More’ (Doja Cat cover)‘I Hate U’‘Snooze’‘Kill Bill’‘Low’‘Special’‘Open Arms’‘Nobody Gets Me’‘Normal Girl’‘Saturn’‘Rich Baby Daddy’ (Drake cover)‘The Weekend’‘Good Days’’20 Something’For Sunday’s performances, Avril Lavigne treated the Other Stage to an unashamed nostalgia fest, earning the Canadian pop-punk princess a three-star rating.

Billie Eilish dropped her groundbreaking, Grammy-winning debut album, “When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?” — there was a seismic shift in pop.At just 17, she emerged as a goth-pop princess whose spooky, synthy sound was eerily prescient of the doom to come when the pandemic shut the world.And the Billie effect was felt with everyone from Olivia Rodrigo to SZA to, yes, even Taylor Swift. While Eilish broke out of the “Bad Guy” groove of her biggest hit on her second album, 2021’s “Happier Than Ever,” there was still no stopping her power.And even when she made the most anti-blockbuster ballad for last summer’s “Barbie” smash, “What Was I Made For?” went on to win both the Song of the Year Grammy and the Best Original Song Oscar — even though the single didn’t even crack the Top 10.Now 22, Eilish is hot off of accomplishing that rare Grammy-Oscar double as she releases her third LP, “Hit Me Hard and Soft” — and she continues to go against the mainstream.In fact, she chose not to release any singles leading up to the album, wanting the collection to be consumed as a “family of songs.”Forget the fact that listening to an album from start to finish in the streaming era is a pretty radical concept.And when the LP gets off to the sleepiest of starts with the dreamy “Skinny” — where Eilish displays her new thing for strings, courtesy of the Attacca Quartet — you might think you accidentally shuffled it to the end.Just like Prince rebeled against the “Purple Rain” mania with “Around the World in a Day” and Radiohead tried to shake off the “OK Computer” masses with “Kid A,” Eilish has refused to play to the basic crowd to meet any sort of commercial expectation.And yet, it still works for her.

A win for the culture, while keeping it all on wax,” he tweeted. “Especially when these publications try to make it something else.

SZA hit out at fans during a live show in Australia this week after some crowd members allegedly threw items at the singer.The ‘SOS’ star was playing the first of three headline gigs at the Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne on Monday (April 29) when she addressed the unacceptable behaviour.“If you throw something else, I will leave,” she said. “Do not throw up any cell phones.
