Glastonbury 2024 live: Shania Twain draws huge Pyramid Stage crowd as football fans watch England v Slovakia

Country-pop star’s set will end right before England’s Euro 2024 game against Slovakia kicks off

Coldplay open with Yellow in record-breaking headline set on Pyramid Stage

Shania Twain is taking on the coveted Legends Slot on the final day of Glastonbury, as R&B artist SZA prepares to close this year’s festival.

While the country-pop queen has drawn a huge crowd, her set appears to be affected by sound issues, causing a number of fans to complain on social media.

Football fans will likely be trying to work out how they can tune into England’s game against Slovakia in the Euro 2024 championships, which will kick off just as the country-pop superstar ends her set.

On Saturday night, rock band Coldplay headlined the Pyramid Stage for a record-breaking fifth time, after pop star Dua Lipa dazzled the crowds on Friday (28 June).

In a career-spanning set, the band performed a number of their biggest hits including “Yellow”, “Paradise”, “The Scientist”, “Fix You” and “Clocks”, while also bringing out a number of surprise guests including rapper Little Simz, singer Laura Mvula, plus Back to the Future star Michael J Fox.

Across the weekend, an eclectic lineup will perform on the sprawling festival’s various stages.

Here is the full Glastonbury 2024 lineup and set times.

Glastonbury revellers tune into England v Slovakia game

Our Head of Culture and Lifestyle, Patrick Smith, just sent me this image from Worthy Farm of revellers gathered around a screen playing the England v Slovakia game.

Organisers announced last month that they wouldn’t be showing the match, to the despair of thousands of football fans who’d already bought their Glastonbury tickets.

Obviously, some intrepid folk have managed to get around that, either by bringing their own TV screens or managing to get some semblance of Wi-Fi or 4G on site.

What BBC viewers are saying about Shania

“I think it’s a technical / sound issue ... she’s constantly fiddling with her in ear and even the speaking sounds off and cutting out,” one fan suggested. “Poor Shania, maybe a wired microphone would be better. Surely they could swap it out.”

Other fans defended the “Man! I Feel Like a Woman” singer, pointing out that she still managed to entertain the thousands of people gathered at the Pyramid Stage.

“What a fantastic artist,” one fan wrote, while another praised her backing dancers and band.

Twain has sold over 100 million records, making her one of the biggest-selling artists of all time.

Shania Twain having sound issues?

Damn, Shania seems to be having similar issues to Cyndi Lauper on the Saturday... she’s about a beat out of time with the band for much of the time? She’s an absolute pro, so she’s not letting it show, but there’s been some fiddling with her in-ears and mic pack for the first bit of the set.
