Olivia Rodrigo became the second youngest Glastonbury headliner at just 22 years old after Billie Eilish headlined at 20 years old back in 2022. The 22-year-old delivered an energetic and well-received performance filled with confidence and a powerful stage presence. Olivia actively moved around the entire stage during her performance and transitioned between emotional songs to high-energy rock and punk anthems. She showcased many outfits, including opening with a white lacy dress and later appearing in sparkly Union Jack shorts.

Olivia continued to excite the crowd by bringing out a surprise guest during her set. She brought out lead singer Robert Smith from the famous punk rock band, The Cure, introducing him as “perhaps the best songwriter to come out of England” and her “personal hero”. The two performed popular songs, ‘Friday I’m in Love’ and ‘Just Like Heaven’, together, becoming a notable highlight of the festival weekend.

The singer connected to her British fans by expressing her love for England and the cultural differences she appreciated, as an American singer, also shouting out her English boyfriend, who was watching her set backstage. She sang into a megaphone during ‘get him back!’ ending the weekend in fireworks and throwing drumsticks into the audience for her fans.
Rodrigo also performed at BST Hyde Park in London this past weekend on Friday, June 27. She brought out surprise guest, Ed Sheeran, performing his song ‘The A Team’ together.
Olivia Rodrigo released her debut song ‘drivers license’ back in 2021, which reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100 and the UK Singles Charts, breaking a record for the most single-day streams. This debut song allowed her to break out of her former Disney Channel days where she started her career as an actor in shows Bizaardvark and High School Musical: The Musical: The Series.
She later released her debut album ‘SOUR’ that same year, which became the longest-running debut album in the top 10 of the Billboard 200 Chart this century. She released her second album ‘GUTS’ in 2023, with an extended version of the album in March 2024. These albums have skyrocketed her success in the past five years, receiving many awards.
Olivia Rodrigo has upcoming performances in July at different festivals, including Mad Cool Festival in Madrid and Lollapalooza in Paris and Chicago. See more events here.
