Camila Cabello admits giving up festivals after Isle of Wight fiasco before Glastonbury success

Camila Cabello said of her Glastonbury set, “The crowd was enormous.”

Camila Cabello admitted she nearly swore off playing festivals after a disastrous performance at the Isle of Wight event.

In a conversation with Bizarre’s Howell Davies in London this week, after taking a photo together, the Havana singer said of her Glastonbury set, “The crowd was enormous.”

"I am always a little nervous before festivals generally because it’s not necessarily people there who are ­coming to see just you. I always expect the worst, but I was so pleasantly surprised.”

“People were being so warm and engaging.

“It was hot, so I could completely understand it if everyone was cranky and had had their arms crossed.

“I’ve actually played some festivals that were like that. I remember Isle of Wight was ­difficult.”

She continued, “I remember being like, ‘Festivals are hard. I don’t want to do festivals any more,’” pretending to cry. 

Unfortunately, Camila couldn't stay at Worthy Farm after her Saturday performance, as she's been traveling globally to promote her wonderfully eclectic new album C,XOXO, which was released on Friday and is expected to reach the Top Ten tomorrow.

She said of Glastonbury, “It’s very intense. It smells like a farm. There were a lot of tents.

“We actually had a crazy experience where we were in Denmark the night before and landed at six in the morning, that morning.

“I wish I could have stayed there, but I would have literally passed out. I was exhausted.”

That didn’t prevent her from going to The Box nightclub in London on Tuesday for a Bacardi-hosted party celebrating her new record.
