Pop Icon Dua Lipa brought day one of Glastonbury Festival 2024 to a close on Friday night with an energetic and memorable set on the Pyramid Stage.

The pop star, who took home the Brit Award for best pop act in March, headlined the festival for the first time and opened with her track Training Season.

The 28-year-old told the crowd: “I can’t believe this, I’ve dreamed about this my whole life. And I can’t believe I’m right up here, right here, with you guys, I am so happy to be here with you guys tonight.”

However around 40 minutes into her set she sent the crowd wild as she introduced a surprise guest - Kevin Parker, aka Tame Impala. The pair then sang a duet of Tame Impala's The Less I Know the Better - and it left many watching at home speechless.

Writing on X, formerly Twitter, @rkhnn96 wrote: "Didn’t realise i needed to see Dua Lipa and Tame Impala the less i know the better on stage FAIRS" while @sarahdawood1 added: "Dua Lipa and Richard Parker of Tame Impala are the incredible duet I never knew I needed."

Meanwhile, @dardsks wrote: "I’m never shutting up about this Dua Lipa and Tame Impala moment" and @Dylan__mcfc said: "Dua lipa x tame impala holy s**t man what a vibe."

Ahead of the weekend Glastonbury organiser Emily Eavis said Dua Lipa was “born” to headline the festival.. Coldplay and SZA will also headline the world-famous Pyramid Stage over the next few days, while Shania Twain will take the Legends Slot. The full list of performers is huge - but you can also expect to see the likes of Avril Lavigne, Cyndi Lauper, The Last Dinner Party and Camila Cabello.

Glastonbury was founded by Sir Michael Eavis on his Somerset farm in 1970. While he is still involved, his daughter Emily and her husband Nick Dewey now take on the majority of the organisation.

The BBC's coverage of Glastonbury will be available across iPlayer, BBC Sounds, TV, radio and online, including its non-stop Classic Glastonbury channel streaming 24 hours a day from now until Sunday, June 30.

The Thames is England’s longest and most famous river but it is becoming known for something a lot less desirable – pollution. Data from the UK’s Environment Agency shows a mere 14% of rivers in England are fit for people and animals. Helen Glover is a two-time Olympic champion rower. The British athlete lives near the Thames and has trained on it for years, but not this year - she says it would be too much of a health risk to do so during her preparation for the Paris Olympics.
