In an era where live performances often blur into one monotonous spectacle, one artist stands out as the epitome of originality and exuberance. Janelle Monáe, the visionary force of nature, not only owned the Pyramid Stage at Glastonbury 2024 but redefined it.

As the enigmatic Janelle Monáe took to Glastonbury’s prestigious Pyramid Stage, she faced a challenge: a tough act to follow with Shania Twain’s legends slot, and contemporaries like Avril Lavigne, Nia Archives, and Romy drawing crowds elsewhere. Yet, Monáe rose with an aura that attracts nothing less than adoration and awe.

  • Her opening track ‘Float’ set the tone – a testament to why she’s a ten-time Grammy nominee.
  • High-energy hits like ‘Electric Lady’ to ‘Django Jane’ showed off her dynamic range, proving she’s as much a showstopping performer as she is a lyrical powerhouse.
  • Monáe’s artistry shone through a cavalcade of costume changes and theatrical production numbers that were as political as they were playful.
  • The show crescendoed through her sexually liberative anthem ‘Pynk’, complete with an unforgettable vagina costume, leading the charge in a performance laced with empowerment.

Throughout her career, Monáe has drawn comparisons to trailblazing Black artists such as Grace Jones, Prince, and Lauryn Hill. But, on this Sunday evening at Glastonbury, it was clear that Janelle Monáe is in a league of her own.
