Rina Sawwayama Appears to Call on Head of 1975 Matty Healy on the Podcast Controversy
Saturday (June 24) at the Glastonbury Festival came to a dramatic end when Lana Del Rey’s staging was cut after she arrived at the Woodsies stage 30 minutes late.
Billed to perform while the Guns N’ Roses frontrunners were performing at the Pyramid Stage, the American pop artist kept fans waiting beyond her scheduled time is 10:30 pm. She finally arrived, and then apparently blamed her hair for the delay.
Drama seems to be the order of the day. Before that, the British-Japanese artist appeared to call her company mate, Matty Healy, the 1975 frontman, for a controversial podcast interview that included several derogatory remarks about women and Asian people.
Meanwhile, Scottish singer-songwriter Lewis Capaldi was forced to cut his own vocals early due to vocal problems, but received immense support from the thousands of people who sang with him. After that, Lizzo wowed with an incredible performance with some of her biggest hits, including “Boys” and “Watch Out for the Big Grrrls.”
The night before, the Arctic Monkeys took to the festival’s main stage, marking the third time the Sheffield-founded band had headlined the festival. Rock duo Royal Blood from Brighton perform on the main stage three weeks after their controversial show at BBC Radio 1’s Biggest Weekend in May. Read Jazz Monroe’s two-star review here.
The BBC is broadcasting the festival on all its main channels, including BBC Radio, iPlayer and BBC Sounds.
