Dua Lipa yesterday, Friday, June 28, he faced one of the biggest challenges of his career: acting as headliner at Glastonbury Festival. The artist had previously participated in two editions of this already historic macro-event that has taken place in the United Kingdom since 1970, but it was the first time that she had done so as a headliner on the main stage.
The British singer presented part of her new repertoire released this year with her third studio album Radical Optimismas well as revisiting some of his greatest hits, as One Kiss, New Rules, Physical either cold heart ―this time, without Elton John at the piano, but with his great love and support from a distance, as he showed through his social networks hours before the concert.
Nevertheless, There were two moments that especially marked the development of Dua Lupa’s set. The first was when he had to sing Be The One. The star made it clear how important this song has been at the beginning of her musical career, a turning point that has helped her (to a greater or lesser extent) to be in front of nearly 200,000 people.
“This song is very special to me. In some way, it has seen me grow and it has changed my life. It is a song that I think I will sing for the rest of my life,” he said before performing it. And reaching the end of the song, the singer got off the stage to sing it along with everyone present, leaving an image very similar to the one she experienced in 2017 when she debuted at Glastonbury, after spending years attending the festival as a fan. “You are making my dream come true,” she exclaimed as the audience chanted the song with increasing intensity.
The second moment of the evening was starred by Kevin Parker’s cameo appearancethe mastermind behind Tame Impala and the producer of Dua’s latest album, to perform a duet The Less I Know The Better as Houdini (on guitar), which marked the end of the celebration of a milestone in the career of the author of Future Nostalgia.
It should be remembered that this concert can be seen again on the BBC, although it was reported a few months ago that footage of this event would be recorded for a future film to immerse fans around the world in the Glastonbury experience.
