Dua Lipa faced some technical hiccups that prompted mixed reactions among viewers following the Glastonbury event live on the BBC.
The singer took to the stage to deliver a headline set that left the audience in awe.
Expressing gratitude and emotion, the "Dance the Night" singer shared with the crowd how she believed in bringing this moment to reality and felt overwhelmed by the dream-like experience of performing on the event's Pyramid stage.
However, during her performance, Dua encountered some sound problems that caught the attention of viewers online.
Social media platforms were flooded with complaints about technical difficulties hindering the quality of her set. In fact, one concertgoer shared with the Mirror that a disruptive noise from a neighboring stage caused a persistent bass thud.
@pecos_pest_ said on X, formerly Twitter, "Can someone please turn Dua Lipa's mic up? Can hardly hear her! Every year the sound is terrible!"
"They need to turn Dua Lipa's mic up lmao what's going on here?" @agneponx questioned.
@TigersJUK wrote, "Got the Dua Lipa headline set at Glastonbury on. She's had the mic off for about 95% of it. What's the point?"
However, some believe that the whole reason people can't hear her from the live stream was due to her actions of miming or lip syncing.
@ziiggypop asked, "Is Dua Lipa miming or? How can it sound like miming and a mic not being loud enough at the same time."
@2wheelsnot4 added, "Dua Lipa - either she's miming or they've got the sound mix horribly wrong. It just sounds off."
@NuetztJaNix0 also said, "love how all the people thinking Dua Lipa is miming #glastonbury show how little knowledge of singing and music the have. she's actually really good. and if you'd have half the expertise you people claim to, you'd notice her singing live in the small nuances."
There were also criticism about Dua's performance.
@iammfj said, "No issue with her as headliner but Dua Lipa doesn't sound or look very 'live'. And just did a whole song to a camera with her back to the crowd."
Kicking off her debut headline show at the British festival, Dua dazzled the audience with a stunning choreographed routine set to the upbeat tune of "Training Season," a chart-topping single from her latest album Radical Optimism that dropped recently.
As the spotlight shone on her, the concertgoers enthusiastically joined in singing along to her hit songs "One Kiss" with Calvin Harris from 2018 and "Be The One," which she described as the song that had a profound impact on her life.
The pop sensation engaged with the audience, allowing them to chime in on different parts of the song.
Amid her electrifying performance of the chart-topping song "Levitating" in 2020, Dua engaged the audience by asking about their readiness for an imaginary journey "to the moon".
Adding to the excitement of the headline set was the unexpected appearance of Kevin Parker from Tame Impala, who joined her on stage to deliver a rendition of "The Less I Know The Better" from the band's collection of songs.
Dua requested the illumination of the house lights to connect with the audience directly as the show progressed.
