Charli started her set with a burning Brat sign towering over her shoulder, before thrilling with album favorites like '365' and 'Von dutch.' She continued delighting the thousands of fans watching on with some of her old school hits including 'party 4 u' and 'I Love It.'
'I know I'm meant to have a heart of stone,' the English star said from the Other stage, 'but this is very fucking emotional right now… Thank you so much, you're fucking cool as fuck. But not as cool as me, bitch!'
Among some of the highlights from the set included Gracie Abrams — on Worthy Farm this weekend as a performer, also — being selected as Charli's 'Apple' girl. The Brit said: 'I love you so much, Gracie,' as the U.S. singer blew kisses at the camera.
At the end of the raucous performance, where Charli sipped white wine and splashed around in on-stage rain, signage on either side of the stage thanked fans for their ongoing support. 'I think you've all proven to me that brat is forever,' one of them read, 'I don't know who I am if it's over.'
Some were questioning the decision to put Charli on the Other stage while headliner Young, who drew a notably smaller crowd, was on the Pyramid slot.
Other take-aways from this weekend's Glastonbury Festival, the U.K.'s crowning jewel of music festivals in Somerset, England, include The 1975's headline set — where Charli's partner and band drummer George Daniel graced the stage — as well as Lorde's surprise performance on the Woodsies stage Friday morning.
The festival runs from Jun. 25-29.

9 Superb Summer Shorts And Flat Shoe Combinations To Try During The Hot Spell
Shorts weather has very much arrived in the UK as the summer gets off to a roasting start. What styles are worth pulling up for right now? Well, where once it was denim cut-offs or nothing, a variety of styles are breaking through to vie for a space in our summer wardrobes. Consider first the Adidas three-stripe styles that have fast become a favourite. The easy-to-wear option offers a laid-back approach that a summer wardrobe always benefits from, while the sporting angle offers contemporary credentials. Far from the only story this summer, there's also bloomer and boxer styles to consider for the same hot-weather, cool-approach mood. For each of these styles, wearing them with flat shoes that work in contrast is the fashion girl-approved way. Think sporty styles worn with ballet pumps and twee styles worn with beachy flip flops (even if you are heading to an inner-city pub garden). Then there's the style for the bold and brave: the barely there hotpants. The cause and effect of Charli XCX's summertime influence, the itsy bitsy short is back and this time you're going to want to wear it with knee-high boots and floaty tops like Charli might. The final word in shorts for this summer has to go to the enduring classic: the denim short. While the cut-off might have waned in popularity, blue jean styles still trend. This time they are sharper, smarter and best paired with breezy oversized shirts and stealthy ballet pumps. Basically, there's a short style for every persuasion this summer. Below are nine trending short combinations to try for yourself during the heatwave. A breakout style for summer 2025, these Adidas classics are best worn with ballet flats for a contrast that works perfectly well. Look for metallic flats or any sort of style with a shine. Just because it's warm doesn't mean we can let life's obligations go. When it's time for that important meeting then a pair of shorts like these will serve you well. Rope sandals are big news summer and work well with smarter short styles. Pleated shorts endure in the hands of Sean McGirr's McQueen. Lean into the tailoring mood with a pair of classic loafers. Then, consider a simple T-shirt or vest to complete the look. Make like Charli XCX and choose shorts that are especially brief. Wear with knee-high boots and you're good to go. These are best worn in festival fields or certain pockets of East London, where they've become almost commonplace. Boxer shorts are this summer's breakout short style and are no longer considered gentlemen's underwear only. Be sure to keep them roomy in oversized styles. A pair of sneakerina-style trainers make for a perfect pairing for whiling away the warm afternoons. Take this current heatwave as your sign to invest in the bloomer short trend. The puffed-up option is best worn with a simple shoe combination that works in contrast. Toe-thong flip flops are case in point. Denim shorts have had a glow up this summer with smarter, no-rip styles finding favour over tatty styles. Lean into this mood with sparkling flats that add to the refinement, whether they're Alaïa's cult style or otherwise. Often, there's no point disrupting a classic pairing. Sign out of the week with this easy pairing of jersey shorts and classic trainers whether you've got sights on doing a 10k or not. Inject a little ohh la la to your summer wardrobe with these lace trim shorts. The only way to wear these is with sporting pieces that make sure you don't look too boudoir. Puma's Speedcats are the ELLE UK office's new cult sneaker to sport. Freelancer

Black Sabbath's ‘Legendary Lost Tapes' to be released for the first time
A collection of Black Sabbath recordings, from when the influential metal act was known as Earth, are set to be released for the first time. The four-piece, formed in 1968, were originally called The Polka Tulk Blues Band before changing their name to Earth soon after. Ozzy Osbourne, Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler and Bill Ward recorded a series of demos in 1969 at Zella Studios, Birmingham, that were never made public. In the same year, Earth changed their title once again, this time to Black Sabbath, after their own song, which was inspired by Mario Bava's 1963 Italian horror movie of the same name. The news comes as Black Sabbath prepares to play their farewell show at Villa Park on Saturday (July 5). It has been announced that the tapes, titled Earth: The Legendary Lost Tapes, will be released on July 25 via Big Bear Records, although the band are reportedly not involved in the release. Jim Simpson, the band's first manager, has supervised the project. 'Before Black Sabbath, the band were known as Earth – a blues-driven powerhouse already making a name for themselves,' he said. 'This new release presents rare early recordings from that era, remastered from long-lost tapes.' He added: 'These recordings clearly demonstrate what fine music they produced right from the very beginning. We recorded these tracks at Zella Studio in Birmingham in 1969, but held back from releasing them as their style was evolving so quickly. 'Now, some 57 years later, the recordings assume a greater importance, illustrating how these four young men from Birmingham, barely out of their teens, were excellent musicians and a fine band, fully deserving of all the success that was to come their way.' On Saturday (June 28), Black Sabbath were awarded the freedom of the city of Birmingham prior to their farewell performance, which has been nicknamed 'Back To The Beginning'. Osborne, also known as the 'Prince of Darkness', has not played a full gig since 2018 as a result of his poor health. However, the singer has said he will be 'giving 120 per cent' as he prepares for the final performance alongside his original bandmates, whom he has not played with in 20 years. During an episode of Ozzy Speaks on SiriusXM, Osborne said: 'If my God wants me to do the show, I'll do it.' In February, fans expressed outrage over the 'ridiculous' price of tickets to the band's last gig, as pre-sale ticket prices ranged between £197.50 and £834. Tool, Metallica, Slayer, Pantera, Alice in Chains, Billy Corgan of The Smashing Pumpkins and others are all set to support the band at their last gig.
