Glastonbury 2024 fans say 'imagine' as Janelle Monae 'deserved much more'

Fans of Glastonbury expressed disappointment that Janelle Monae's performance on Sunday evening at the main stage was not given more recognition. The Grammy-nominated artist took the stage at approximately 5:45 pm following Shania Twain's special slot earlier in the day.

The blogger @lkwrnr noted that there were not many people in the audience for Janelle Monáe's performance on the Pyramid stage. They speculated that everyone must be at the Other stage watching Avril Lavigne instead. @throughmyaiz expressed disbelief at the idea of missing Janelle Monáe's show for an England game. @iplayitagain expressed sympathy for those who chose to watch the soccer match instead of enjoying Janelle Monáe's performance.
