shed just put it later in the set anyway ? 

I really don’t think that will be necessary.

A mass exodus of LFC fans or do you think the whole field clears? The latter feels very unlikely. 

The festival has a large scouse presence, will be loads of groups who will be watching her for one song only. The song has it's own life here outside the typical Dua fanbase.

Probably be loads of annoying people chatting nonsense for the rest of the set because of it

Oh, you're actually being serious!

She's got banger after banger after banger, can't see the mass exodus you predict.

And to a specific group of people outside her fanbase she's a one hit wonder. Don't think that's too hard to comprehend

This is just absolutely not true. A one hit wonder?! She’s constantly got other songs playing on the radio and in the charts. If you’re not familiar with them then fair enough, but she isn’t headlining Glastonbury off the back of one song that isn’t even her own.

The had a number one with New Rules before she ever released One Kiss and hit number one another two times after that.

She has three songs that have 2 billion streams each (and one that will get there by the end of the week).

I'm not talking about me or saying she's a one hit wonder.

I know loads of people who only know that one song.

No different to an artist being massive in one part of the world and less known elsewhere. 

Duno if it's the lack of announcement, not sure why everyone is up for an argument about a specific point

I'm sure people who are Liverpool fans aren't gonna stand there and just wait though. Plus a lot of scousers will know a lot of her stuff, she's the biggest pop star Britain has produced in years.

noone is going to be thinking Dua Lipa is a one hit wonder

But everyone is going to think there's a lot of people from Merseyside at Glastonbury, which is fair.

There is, but I’m pretty sure they’re capable of listening to more than one Dua Lipa song

The influx of people from Liverpool is a myth, isn't it? I've met many more from Somerset than Liverpool in all my years attending

I think it’s largely just because the scouse accent is so instantly recognisable and occasionally loud that it often feels like the place is full of them.

Also, as a fellow scouser, I’m very aware that being snuck in is incredibly prevalent with people from here. Maybe that’s also the case elsewhere as well… but it’s a big thing here for people who fail to get tickets, as well as those who don’t even bother in the sales because sneaking in is apparently far easier and quicker (skipping the queues etc)… But I can’t imagine so much so that they fill up the festival…

If people walked away after that one song that is played at the match is done, Gerry Marsden would have been knackered.

It'll be each to their own, of course, but as a Yorkshireman, I've bumped into far more Scousers than I have any other demographic of the British population the two years I've got down.

Most importantly though, they have all been absolutely sound, and frankly, that's all that matters.

I’d agree, we were in the Avalon when Jamie Webster was playing, it was like the Kop. end at Annfield! Great fun. Ended up speaking to his mum and dad!

Her performance at the CL final went down a treat and One Kiss has gone off at LFC finals ever since.

It's fair to say that Imagine Dragons or Camilla Cabello didn't get the same response in more recent finals.

Dua and Coldplay will draw the lids away from Silver Hayes in big numbers. I don't really get the Coldplay love-in but it's real amongst the Montirex hive mind

Seriously, this feeling of  self-importance of Liverpool supporters is just incredible. I go every year with the biggest group of scousers you can imagine. About 60% are blues, 30% reds and 10% not arsed. And the reds won’t go to see one song and then f*ck off!

Maybe some truth in this. But the same could be said for Geordies. I don’t hear half as many Geordie accents at Glastonbury as I do scousers. And I go to G with a gang of Geordies!

[Alex DeLarge]

Not enough Brummies at Glastonbury IMO.

And I do notice more scousers - I think a good 60% of the randoms I've ended up chatting with have been Scouse. Always sound and fun people as well.

They were heading off to hospitality then going to stay in the glastonbury travelodge later that day.
