LITTLE SIMZ TRIUMPHS ON GLASTONBURY'S PYRAMID STAGE

Jul 2, 2024

Little Simz made a triumphant return to Glastonbury's iconic Pyramid Stage marking a significant milestone in her career, coming full circle from her 2022 promise to return after headlining the West Holt Stage.

Over an electrifying hour, Simz captivated the audience with a diverse setlist spanning her entire discography, including tracks from her surprise release "Drop 7." Her commanding presence, backed by her live band, reaffirmed her status as a once-in-a-generation talent.

In collaboration with award-winning artist Jeremy Cole, Simz's performance was a masterclass in minimalist yet immersive stage design. Cole, who has been a key creative partner for Simz, described the concept as a journey through Simz's expansive musical world, with each song creating a distinct environment.

Reflecting on her Glastonbury journey, BBC 2 aired "Little Simz: My Glastonbury," which explored her evolution from her debut in 2016 to her landmark 2022 performance. The full Pyramid Stage set is available on BBC iPlayer for 30 days.
