Grammy Award winning R&B star SZA has some solid tunes and a cracking voice, but she doesn’t exactly have the widespread mainstream fanbase that you might associate with a Glastonbury headline act. Which means her headline set on the final Pyramid Stage slot yesterday evening was pretty much doomed to fail from the start.

Sure enough, SZA ended up drawing ‘one of the lowest Glastonbury crowds’ people had ever seen last night, which was in brutally stark contract to the crowds that turned up for Dua Lipa and Coldplay during the festival.

I mean, just get a load of these shots from just before she turned up on stage:

Jesus. How depressing is that?

It actually feels like the Glastonbury bookers/her management set her up to fail. She’s extremely popular and all but it always seemed like such an odd booking to have her headline a UK festival. She doesn’t really have the back catalogue for that sort of responsibility (in the UK at least), and it doesn’t help that her songs aren’t really the kind of tracks a crowd can sing along to. At most, she should have been a Friday headliner to warm the crowd up, not go last on Sunday on the biggest slot possible (after Coldplay, no less!).

Not to mention – SZA had already sold out and headlined Hyde Park at her own show the night before, so her fans probably went to that instead and none of them turned up for her on Glastonbury. In the end,  the organisers seriously misjudged the crossover appeal and her level of fame to be putting her in a slot that’s usually reserved for bona fide megastars. From Elton John last year to SZA this year? Lesson learned.
