The Glastonbury singer gives a defiant response and breaks his silence on the backlash against the 2024 line-up: “What’s all the fuss about?”
Glastonbury singer and rising star Caity Baser has broken her silence on this year’s festival line-up after thousands of fans complained about the headliners – some even threatened to boycott the festival.
Country star Shania Twain will fill the coveted Sunday Legends slot, and artists including LCD Soundsystem, Little Simz, 80s pop icon Cyndi Lauper, Keane, Burna Boy, PJ Harvey, Paloma Faith and Disclosure will also perform.
The announcement was made on the festival’s official X-Account and read: “Here is the first line-up poster for Glastonbury Festival 2024. Many more acts and attractions are yet to be announced.”
“Tickets for this year’s festival are sold out, but our raffle of 20 pairs will raise emergency funds to support people affected by the conflict.
“Already thinking about what to wear. And tell me, what should we sing together?! Let’s make history with this ultimate dream performance!! @glastonbury.”
Festivalgoers had to wait months for the 2024 lineup – the longest in 17 years – and the event sold out within an hour of tickets going on sale in November.

Many fans expressed their disappointment on social media – which prompted 21-year-old singer Baser to send a statement to the skeptics and say defiantly: “Then it won’t work.”
“Why do you care? I’ve never looked at a festival line-up and thought, ‘Oh, that sucks’. I don’t care (who’s playing), I just go and enjoy it. And what, Sza? She’s been my most listened to artist since I was about 12.
“I love her so much! And Coldplay? What do you mean? It’s Shania Twain. What more do you want?” she told the Metro.
The Pretty Boys hitmaker added: “People need to relax and I guarantee you when they get there they’ll say, ‘Oh, that was awesome’. Why all the fuss?”
Baser first rose to fame with her music on TikTok. In the last year of her career, her popularity skyrocketed and she recently performed at the Capital Summertime Ball before heading to Worthy Farm.
She is the penultimate artist to perform on the Avalon stage at Glastonbury on Sunday, a prestigious spot ahead of 00s icons The Feeling.
Although Glastonbury is the biggest festival in the UK, it doesn’t deter the singer from Brighton. She added to the same publication: “I just write the way I would speak.”
“Of course, some people will not like me and the way I wear a dress or the way I talk about things – but that’s okay.

“It’s like people complaining about the lineup this year. There are so many people so excited, everyone has a preference. That’s music.
“It’s interpretation and opinion, but I think if you get past that and realize that if you like it, that’s OK. There will be someone else who likes it too.”
