Readers, I’m a bit mad at Glastonbury proper now
OK, so clearly I’ve completely zero clue concerning the logistics required to curate a competition. I can solely think about it’s a proper ache within the arse. BUT, I simply can not get my head round the truth that organisers lumped three main artists (Janelle Monae, Burna Boy, SZA) on the Pyramid Stage on a Sunday with main exhibits taking place on the opposite phases. The truth that all three artists are Black isn’t look, both, given Glastonbury’s historical past of reserving overwhelming white headliners.
It additionally doesn’t assist that SZA is at the moment blowing Dua Lipa’s set out of the water, no matter crowd dimension. She’s received that star wattage that Dua lacks irrespective of how arduous she tries. The R&B singer has charisma to spare, to not point out these chic vocals.
