1. Dua Lipa

Seeing Dua Lipa headline the Pyramid Stage was an unexpected delight. As the sun set, her performance of “Levitating” had the entire crowd in a euphoric state. It’s hard to believe that just a few years ago, she was featured in FAULT Magazine in 2017. Her journey from those early days to now is remarkable. Every song, every dance move proved she deserved that spot. Naysayers were put to rest as her catalogue of hits echoed through the night. Relive her early days in FAULT Magazine here.

2. Janelle Monáe

Janelle Monáe’s Sunday slot on the Pyramid Stage was pure magic. From the moment she stepped on stage, her energy was infectious. Singing hits like “Pink” and “Tightrope,” she transformed the field into a vibrant celebration. Her vocals were otherworldly, surpassing even her recordings. It’s a shame she clashed with another big act, but those who chose her were rewarded with one of the best performances of the festival. Janelle’s feature in FAULT Magazine in 2018 only hinted at the powerhouse she would become. Dive into her FAULT Magazine feature here.

3. Anne-Marie

Anne-Marie’s set on the Other Stage was a powerhouse performance. Her voice carried far beyond the stage, and her rendition of “Rockabye Baby” had the crowd singing along in unison. Starting her set atop several mattresses was a visual treat, and the surprise appearance by Aitch during “Psycho” sent the audience into a frenzy. Anne-Marie’s journey from her FAULT Magazine feature in 2016 to Glastonbury 2024 has been incredible to witness. Check out her interview in FAULT Magazine here.

4. Avril Lavigne

Avril Lavigne’s first performance at Glastonbury was a massive hit. Drawing over 70,000 people, the crowd’s energy was palpable. Her performance of “Sk8ter Boi” was flawless, and her vocals during “I’m with You” sent chills down my spine. Avril’s presence on stage was both nostalgic and fresh, a perfect blend that captivated everyone. Her FAULT Magazine cover in 2022 was just a prelude to this unforgettable performance.

5. Paloma Faith

Paloma Faith brought her unique charm to the Pyramid Stage, performing hits like “Only Love Can Hurt Like This” and “Upside Down.” Her tribute to Amy Winehouse with a cover of “Back To Black” was a touching moment that resonated deeply with the audience. Paloma also took the opportunity to address internet trolls and offer some cheeky dating advice, much to the crowd’s delight. Her performance was a reminder of why she has been a favourite since her FAULT Magazine feature in 2017. Discover more about Paloma in FAULT Magazine here.
