SZA faces sound issues during Glastonbury headline performance

SZA encountered technical difficulties during her performance as the final headline act at this year's Glastonbury Festival. 

The 34-year-old American singer performed on the Pyramid Stage at Worthy Farm, where her set was criticized for poor microphone quality.

Unlike Coldplay's previous night's performance that drew large crowds, SZA's show had a small audience as many fans left to watch England's Euro 2024 match instead. Video footage showed a notably reduced audience compared to the previous day.

At the beginning of her headline set, viewers promptly expressed frustration over the sound issues, with some commenting that her vocals sound distorted, akin to "singing into a fan."

“Me after hyping SZA up to my mum and dad for months and then her sounding like she's singing into a fan.”

“Fix SZA's mic RIGHT NOW.”

“Is something wrong with SZA's mic? I can't understand a word she's saying rn.”

“Who the hell is sabotaging SZA's mic at Glastonbury????.”

BBC coverage also highlighted the visibly smaller audience during SZA's performance, with one viewer tweeting: “That SZA crowd is one of the lowest I've ever seen for a Pyramid headliner. Wow.”
