Making her Glastonbury debut on the Pyramid stage, Ayra Starr is perfection from the get go. Effortless but never lacklustre, her silky Afrobeats style combined with the full pop production of the show shake all the Saturday morning cobwebs off.
The first of three Nigerian artists with major placings this weekend (and the first Afrobeats artist to play on the Pyramid stage EVER!!), it’s so clear she’s the next of the country’s exports to go global. Viral tracks, stellar performance style and the personality to complete the package, it’s quite unbelievable she’s only 22.
