Dua Lipa has addressed false claims she mimed her Glastonbury 2024 headline set.

The British pop star was the first headliner of this year’s festival, impressing the crowd with her Pyramid Stage set on Friday night (Friday 28 June) at Worthy Farm, one day before Coldplay graced the stage for their record-breaking fifth headline set to a 100,000-strong crowd.

However, as Dua Lipa performed her songs, including “Training Season”, “New Rules” and “Levitating”, many viewers watching her set from their sofas at home accused the singer of miming her vocals.

Dua Lipa was asked about this backstage at Glastonbury while enjoying downtime with her boyfriend, the actor Callum Turner. After a MailOnline reporter asked her about the claims, the singer replied: “I don’t mime.”

It seems the reason that people believe Dua Lipa wasn’t singing live is due to a lip-sync delay, which occurred during BBC’s broadcast of the performance on some services.
