Avril Lavigne emerged as one of the surprise stars of Glastonbury 2024, performing on the Other Stage to a huge crowd more suited to a headline act... and this while competing for attention not merely with acts on the site's other stages, but also with the England versus Slokia football match in the Euros, which was taking place at the same time.
Lavigne had a 6-7pm slot on the Other Stage, and drew such a massive crowd that, as The Guardian reported, stewards were forced to close one entrance to the site for safety reasons, as the field was already beyond capacity.
