Was lucky enough to see her West End show last week, which was kind of a theatrical presentation of her new album (amongst the hits). Genuinely one of the best things I've ever seen. The new album sounded excellent too...

Was there on the first night, a bit apprehensive that she might have tried to go a bit actorly after being in Cabaret.

 

Not a bit of it - it was just a brilliantly produced gig in an intimate setting.

 

God knows where she’ll end up at Glasto but she’s evidently coming back fighting right at the top of her game - the new album’s great, the singles already have singalong quality among her crowd and I’m guessing she’s going to pull decent numbers.

 

I saw her at Neighbourhood a couple of years back and she got a slightly strange reception. Warm but a bit quiet. Seemed to go down better in a shortish set supporting Blur, but it’s going to be interesting. She has a fast-growing fanbase and maybe this is the year it properly clicks for her. She certainly worked her arse off on the festival circuit for Prioritise Pleasure.

Controversial but I'm saying the new album Is the v

Best yet

[ilovelanegan]

Saw her at Pryzm last night and the new songs were brilliant (even a stripped down, short set and with her managing a cold). Deserves to be massive.

She was fantastic on Jo Whiley last night, interview and sung a few songs including a great cover at the end. She didn't give much away about where/when she is playing at Glastonbury. Gut feel says she'll be early on Pyramid, similar to Olivia Dean and Raye the last few years in terms of young British female artists getting a slot on Pyramid

Yup, me too. Think she's going to be a smash at Glasto. Very keen to see where she ends up playing.

Not the full clip unfortunately but ahe has covered Fontains DC I'd take this in the setlist

Bodes well for a Glastonbury collab.

Anyone else seen her Big Weekend set? An absolute corker of a set. Dunno how she does it but she hits every nerve in the right way.

It was pretty brilliant one of the best sets of the weekend and we were actually there yesterday!

I missed it live and can’t seem to find it on the replays yet.. Hope they put the whole set up soon.

Yep I’ve watched it now.. it was great, dramatic opening! Loved mother..

Anyone catch Self Esteem at the Park last night? What an incredible performance, full of heart and joy. 
 

Shame I can’t find any SE merch anywhere. Does the Park stage have its own official merch stand selling acts playing the stage?

[CaledonianGonzo]

Its got a merch stall but I think it mainly just sells Park merchandise.

They don’t the other stage merch stall has loads of bands that are playing the festival. 
 

I also saw her set yesterday and it was something else, not just the performance, the music and the connection with people it started quite somber and end up as a party. 

[SwedgeAntilles]

She should've headlined.

Saw it, loved it. Big crowd hugely into it.

 

I looked for merch too, looks to only be for The Park as a stage/area just to the right of the stage next to the Flicks area.

Asked at Other but said to try Park area. Shame because I’d love to bought some. 

[jannybruck]

I enjoyed the set and the performance itself was fantastic but I think the main sticking point for her moving up the bill properly to high Pyramid is just the lack of hits: there's some good tunes, but there's nothing close to a radio or streaming or crowd smash. I think unless she figures that out it's going to reach a ceiling, at least in terms of this particular festival.

[blue6field]

Just watched the set on the iPlayer, wow! What a show!

[fightoffyour]

Very good as always, a couple of the new tunes are bangers - the opener and the skinny motherf**kers one

[Ben7amin_]

This was a 10/10 for me think she  probably should have been park headliner. 

[Robofish]

I need to watch Self Esteem on IPlayer, but I was at Anonhi afterwards and that was such a beautiful, sad, moving show that I can’t imagine it being anything but a headline. This was just a really strong lineup.
