Dua Lipa has recalled her reaction to being invited to headline Glastonbury.
During a recent appearance on the Dish podcast, the pop star recalled the moment she was asked to headline this year’s edition of the annual British music festival.
“I got the call in November 2022,” Dua said. “At the end of my Future Nostalgia tour, I was like coming back from Australia and I remember checking my email and it just said ‘Glastonbury’ and I was like, ‘Oh, this is interesting.'”
The 28-year-old continued, “I opened the email and just go ‘Oh my God! I can’t believe what I’m reading!’ I just had to like refresh it a couple times to just see that I wasn’t tripping and I wasn’t like jet lag delusion.”
The Training Season hitmaker told podcast host Nick Grimshaw that it was “the best email of all time”.
“I don’t think I’ve ever, I never check my email,” Dua said. “After that, never looked at my emails ever again because it was downhill from there.”
The Levitating singer then revealed that she had manifested the gig early in her career.
“Yeah it was just so surreal, but when I was writing my first album, like I’m big into dream boards and manifestation and whatever, and I’d written it down that on my third record, I’d love to headline Glastonbury and also that I’d love to work with Tame Impala,” she divulged. “Those are two things on my dream board that I just had put (down) while I was working on my first album.”
Almost seven years after releasing her debut album in 2017, it was announced in March that Dua would be headlining this year’s Glastonbury, which takes place from 26 to 30 June.
The singer has also collaborated with Tame Impala’s Kevin Parker on her recently released third studio album, Radical Optimism.
