Florida rapper and singer Doechii, already a Grammy winner, is set to headline Glastonbury—a milestone she says was part of her ambitious five-year plan. It’s a major moment for the rising star, cementing her place among music’s elite.

Editor’s Note: Headlining Glastonbury is a huge deal—it’s one of the most prestigious stages in music. For Doechii, this isn’t just luck; it’s proof that her hustle and vision are paying off. It also signals how quickly she’s risen, which could inspire other artists to think big and plan strategically. Plus, it’s another win for hip-hop and R&B’s growing dominance on global festival lineups.

Glastonbury Festival is kicking off with a bang, and The Guardian’s liveblog is your backstage pass to all the action. Today’s highlights include electrifying sets from Lorde, Wet Leg, and the much-hyped CMAT, whose Pyramid Stage performance is already being called a defining moment of the summer. Plus, keep an eye out for surprise secret sets and the usual festival weirdness.

Alanis Morissette delivered a stunning performance during Glastonbury’s golden-hour slot, proving she’s still a powerhouse with her raw vocals and infectious energy. Opening with a montage of fellow artists praising her influence, she reminded everyone why she’s a feminist icon—while drawing a massive, devoted crowd.

Editor’s Note: Glastonbury’s "sundowner slot" is a big deal—it’s the perfect time to capture the festival’s magic, and Alanis nailed it. For fans, it was a nostalgic triumph; for newcomers, a masterclass in why her music still resonates decades later. It’s proof that her anthems about anger, joy, and survival haven’t aged a day.
