Olivia Rodrigo's Glastonbury Fan Moment: Dancing to Pulp on Boyfriend's Shoulders Before Headline Show
Glastonbury Festival 2024 delivered a whirlwind of excitement, and for pop sensation Olivia Rodrigo, it included a truly memorable fan moment. Ahead of her highly anticipated headline slot on the Pyramid Stage, Rodrigo was spotted immersed in the crowd, joyfully dancing to Pulp’s performance while perched on her boyfriend’s shoulders.
Footage, captured and shared by radio DJ Greg Burns, quickly went viral, showcasing Rodrigo's genuine enthusiasm for the iconic Britpop band. The clip shows her singing along and energetically dancing as Pulp played to a massive crowd. This spontaneous display of fandom offered a glimpse into Rodrigo's personality beyond the stage, demonstrating a love for music and a willingness to enjoy the festival atmosphere like any other attendee.
The scene unfolded on Sunday (June 30th) before Rodrigo's own performance, adding an extra layer of excitement to the day. It’s a testament to Glastonbury’s unique ability to bring together artists and fans in shared musical experiences. Seeing a headline act so readily engaging with another performer’s set is a rare and cherished sight for festival-goers.
Rodrigo’s headline set itself was a triumph, delivering a powerful and emotive performance that resonated with the audience. She showcased both her established hits and newer material, solidifying her position as one of the leading voices in contemporary pop music. However, the playful moment with Pulp undoubtedly provided a lighter, more relatable counterpoint to the intensity of her own show.
The internet has erupted with praise for Rodrigo's down-to-earth nature, with many commenting on how refreshing it is to see a major artist embracing the festival spirit. It's a reminder that even the biggest stars are, at heart, music lovers just like the rest of us.
Greg Burns, the DJ who shared the footage, commented, “What a moment! Olivia Rodrigo absolutely loving Pulp at Glastonbury. What a legend!” The clip continues to circulate widely, further cementing this as one of the most talked-about moments of the festival.
