Glastonbury organiser Emily Eavis said pop star Dua Lipa was “born” to headline the music festival on Friday.
“She’s a proper festivalgoer, she comes every year and… you can really tell whether someone really gets the festival and loves it.”Dua Lipa, who took home the Brit Award for best pop act in March, is headlining the British festival for the first time when she takes to the stage in Somerset on Friday evening.
This year’s festival is taking place in the week before the General Election, which Eavis acknowledged they have “never had”.“We were working on having voter registration booths, but then the day moved.“It’s a big one for us, we’ve never had a pre-election festival.” Music fans at Glastonbury enjoying Friday’s line-up could be met with the “occasional light shower” but the day will mainly be “dry and bright”, according to a Met Office spokeswoman.
Thursday’s festivities included a tribute to the late DJ Annie Nightingale, the first female presenter on BBC Radio 1, who died in January at the age of 83.
