Glastonbury 2024: Bloc Party bring old-school indie bangers to the Other Stage

SZA has wrapped up her headlining set at the Pyramid Stage at Glastonbury, drawing the 2024 edition of the festival to a close – here’s what she played.After teasing a new album at BST Hyde Park, SZA took over the Pyramid Stage as the final headliner at Worthy Farm 2024, which was mired by technical difficulties for a good portion of its runtime.For around 30 minutes, fans live-streaming SZA’s set were unable to hear the ‘Kill Bill’ properly, with some complaining that the mic was faulty and muddy. Once the issue was fixed however, SZA sounded great and went on to deliver an enchanting performance.SZA kicked off her set with ‘PSA’ and ‘Love Galore’, and played other hits like ‘F2F’ and ‘Kill Bill’ later on in the show.SZA performando ‘Love Galore’ no Glastonbury, em Londres pic.twitter.com/D0jrU4lA0R— SZA ICONIC (@szaiconic) June 30, 2024.@SZA performing ‘Snooze’ at Glastonbury! pic.twitter.com/P5MsEVAup2— SZA Source (@sourcesza) June 30, 2024.@SZA performing ‘Low’ at Glastonbury! pic.twitter.com/Lu4GFa2lJZ— SZA Source (@sourcesza) June 30, 2024‘PSA’‘Love Galore’‘Broken Clocks’‘All The Stars’‘Prom’‘Garden (Say It Like Dat)’‘Drew Barrymore’‘F2F’‘Forgiveless’‘Ghost in the Machine’‘Blind’‘Shirt’‘Kiss Me More’ (Doja Cat cover)‘I Hate U’‘Snooze’‘Kill Bill’‘Low’‘Special’‘Open Arms’‘Nobody Gets Me’‘Normal Girl’‘Saturn’‘Rich Baby Daddy’ (Drake cover)‘The Weekend’‘Good Days’’20 Something’For Sunday’s performances, Avril Lavigne treated the Other Stage to an unashamed nostalgia fest, earning the Canadian pop-punk princess a three-star rating.

Simon Pegg and Edgar Wright have spoken to NME about the 20th anniversary of their beloved ‘rom-zom-com’ Shaun of the Dead, which were they presenting at the Pilton Palais cinema at Glastonbury Festival.The filmmaking duo, the who created the so-called Cornetto Trilogy – comprised of Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz and The World’s End – between 2004 and 2013, also discussed approaches they have received to “sequelize” the film and their plans to make a new movie.NME: Hi Simon Pegg and Edgar Wright! Have you been surprised by the amount of renewed interest in Shaun of the Dead lately?Simon Pegg: “It’s kind of never really gone away since we made it… Whenever there was some crisis, that meme of me with the beer popped up. But it’s nice to get to 20 years and realise that people are still talking about it.”Edgar Wright: “Also, I think the main subject of conversation is people saying: ‘Oh, fuck! That was 20 years ago! Oh my God – I’m old! What have I done with my life?”Pegg: “We always said that we weren’t parodying zombie movies with Shaun of the Dead; we were parodying romantic comedies – if we were parodying anything. Shaun of the Dead is a zombie movie; there’s no satirical edge there aimed at the genre itself.
