Lil Nas X thrilled fans during his performance on the Pyramid Stage at Glastonbury Festival on Sunday night. His theatrical set had all the bells and whistles – extravagant costume changes, exceptional dancers, and even a surprise appearance from Jack Harlow.
The 24-year-old rapper entered the stage with a bang, walking down between large marble-style pillars as a siren sounded and a group of dancers performed an energetic opening routine. He donned a white fur coat, metal breast plate top and white trousers with fur trim, and opened with his hit song Montero.
“Glastonbury, this is my first time here since 2019. I’m happy to be back. This is a big-ass crowd. Are y’all ready to have some fun?”, he asked the thousands in the crowd. This was Lil Nas X’s return to Glastonbury, performing in his own right after a surprise appearance in 2019.
He went all out on props and costumes to give high camp theatricality, and fans were living for his set. ‘Oh mate Lil Nas X is killing his set, design, dancers, vocals, energy YES SIR’, declared one excited viewer. Another added: ‘Lil Nas is an absolute breath of fresh air for Glastonbury this whole performance is iconic’.
High energy throughout, Lil Nas X commanded the stage as the lead artist. He sampled extracts of Pony by Tough Love, Pump It by Black Eyed Peas and Something In The Way by Nirvana. He also made room for a costume change, of course.
Closing out his set, he treated the crowd to a surprise appearance from Harlow for their joint record Industry Baby. As he opened the song, Lil Nas X also sampled Michael Jackson’s Beat It. The performance was dubbed ‘iconic’ and will ‘go down in Glastonbury history’.
Sir Elton John followed after him to close out the festival for 2023 with a show that has been billed as the final UK gig of his farewell tour. It’s clear that Lil Nas X’s set will be remembered for years to come.
