Doechii Makes an All-Time Great Glastonbury Debut: 5 Best Moments

Saturday night at Glastonbury (June 28) offered up a pretty shocking clash across some of its main stages. While Neil Young noodled away on the Pyramid, the rest of the crowd had a tricky choice to make between Charli xcx on the Other Stage, Scissor Sisters on Woodsies, and Doechii on West Holts.

Fancy a sweaty rave with the hottest name on the planet? That’s Charli for you. Perhaps a big glitzy sing-along? Scissor Sisters, of course. Doechii, however, was a more than worthy option for many punters on the sprawling site. During her set, the “Anxiety” star served up something truly unique in her theatrical 45-minute set, which featured singing, dancing, rapping and her inimitable performing talents.

The triumph was made all the more impressive knowing that Doechii had never performed at the festival before, and landed a well-deserved Saturday night headline slot on one of the biggest stages. Given her superb year – including being crowned Billboard’s Woman of the Year – where else could the Grammy winner land other than with top billing? What usually takes years (or even decades) to achieve was done on the first attempt, leapfrogging the competition to stake her claim to being a modern great.

These were the best moments from Doechii’s West Holts headline set.
