Controversy Erupts: Dua Lipa Accused of Miming at Glastonbury, Yet Wows Audience with ‘Magical’ Set!

Dua Lipa gave a fantastic performance as she headlined the opening night of the Glastonbury Festival.

The 28-year-old English-Albanian singer performed a medley of hits and acrobatic dance routines in a leather studded bodysuit in front of thousands of fans at Worthy Farm.

However, several fans wondered if she was miming during her performance because her lips appeared to be out of sync with the music at moments.

Glastonbury fans have criticized Dua Lipa for allegedly miming her first headline concert at the event on Friday.

Those who watched the set characterized the thought of the One Kiss hitmaker not performing live as ‘awful’.

One user on X, formerly Twitter, expressed disappointment that #DuaLipa is unable to perform live. Don’t show up at Glasto and mime. Rubbish.’

Others were enthralled by Dua’s two-hour performance, which included live vocals on many of the tracks.

They wrote, “Dua Lipa is actually too good.” God, I wish I were there.

‘Smashed it, Dua Lipa’ and ‘Dua Lipa’ have actually been pretty fantastic. I just know One Kiss, but her voice is better than I expected. Look forward to seeing her in the Sunday afternoon legend slot in around 25 years.

‘This Dua Lipa and Kevin Parker collaboration is fantastic’ and’smashed it Dua Lipa’.

The Glastonbury festival will not broadcast the Euro 2024 football competition, despite England’s match against Slovakia in the final 16 on Sunday at 5pm.

Emily stated that the festival had set up a screen to view World Cup matches in 1998, but times had changed.

‘We used to have a screen here as no-one had any means of finding out what even the result was because we were so cut off from the outside,’ she said.

‘Now everyone’s connected, and I think, you know, it’s a music festival.

‘I’m sure if people want to see it enough they can check for results or whatever on their phones.
