Shania Twain encountered significant challenges during her performance at Glastonbury on Sunday, as sound issues marred her set.
The iconic singer, 58, struggled with her earpiece, leading to difficulties in pitch and timing, despite a dramatic entrance alongside drag queens and dancers.
Audience reactions on social media highlighted concerns over Twain’s performance quality due to the sound problems. Fans expressed disappointment and frustration, with some questioning the technical support provided during her set.
This incident adds to ongoing criticism at Glastonbury, where several artists, including Dua Lipa, Coldplay, and Camila Cabello, have faced accusations of miming. Dua Lipa, in response to claims during her headline performance, vehemently denied lip-syncing and celebrated her performance success with her boyfriend, Callum Turner, at a festival bar.
Similarly, Cyndi Lauper’s Saturday performance also suffered from sound issues, affecting her vocal clarity and timing. Despite initial difficulties, the situation improved as the set progressed, showcasing resilience from the veteran singer.
Coldplay’s record-breaking Saturday night set featured a surprise appearance by Michael J. Fox, who joined the band on stage. However, the performance was not without technical hitches, as some attendees reported difficulties hearing Cyndi Lauper’s vocals early in her set, which improved later on.
The coveted legends slot has been filled by the likes of Johnny Cash and Diana Ross over the years.
The You’re So Vain artist admitted: ‘I was on the edge of my seat until it became a reality. I’m excited but nervous.’
As the festival continues, organizers and performers aim to address these issues to ensure each act receives the necessary sound support for a memorable Glastonbury experience.
