Last night’s (June 24) crowd at Glastonbury Festival’s Pyramid Stage was embroidered with young girls rocking black-and-green wigs, supportive flags rippling in the breeze, and t-shirts with global superstar Billie Eilish’s face printed on them. But despite the incredible amount of hardcore fans woven into the exultant crowd, revellers still screamed in pure, euphoric shock when the 20-year-old leapt onto the stage, and gave a literally explosive performance.
Preceded by Geordie legend Sam Fender, when Eilish was announced as Friday’s Worthy Farm headliner, it was a huge moment - and not just for her fans. On Friday night, Billie became the youngest ever headliner to grace Glastonbury in its 50 year history.
Despite being over 5,000 miles from her hometown of Los Angeles, Eilish looked comfier than ever as she bounced onto the stage to the tune of thousands of screaming fans, with pyrotechnics roaring around her. Joined by her brother, best friend, and producer, Finneas, and drummer, Andrew Marshall, Eilish commanded the attention of the elated crowd, mesmerised members of which hailed from all genders, races, and age groups; everybody loved Eilish.
