Dua Lipa electrifies Glastonbury in glittery Pyramid stage debut

PUBLISHED ONGLASTONBURY, England — Pop star Dua Lipa lit up a chilly Glastonbury evening on Friday , transforming its famous Pyramid stage venue into an open-air nightclub where thousands grooved to hits such as Levitating and Houdini.

The 28-year-old British-Albanian singer told the crowd how it had been a dream for her to sing on Glastonbury's Pyramid stage, where artists such as Paul McCartney, Beyonce and David Bowie have performed over the festival's more than 50-year history. Born in London to Kosovo Albanian parents, Lipa began covering songs by other pop artists as a teenager and uploading them to YouTube, which led to a record deal in 2014 when she was 18. In 2019, she won two Grammy Awards including Best New Artist.

"We're obsessed. Dua was on another level," said Sophie Page, 30, a fan from London who was in the crowd. "I knew she was going to be good but the energy she brought … her emotion really came through."
