Plenty of festivalgoers could be seen doing the viral dance to the song, which has taken social media by storm in recent months. Kicking off her set with Have Fun! the singer, who wore an all-purple ensemble with white boots, sang while lying flat on the floor before getting to her feet and shouting: 'Glasto!' The musician, who blends pop and rock with folk and country influences, performed from her back catalogue, receiving rapturous applause while singing hits including I Don't Really Care For You.

Introducing herself, she told crowds: 'My name is CMAT and I'm literally just a young one from Dunboyne/Dublin, depending who you ask.' 'This is the scariest moment of my life but it will probably singlehandedly be the best and most amazing thing I'll ever do,' she added. Towards the end of her set, she waded into the crowd to sing her popular song Stay For Something and chanted 'Free Palestine' in reference to the ongoing war in Gaza.

Meath book place in All-Ireland quarter-finals with victory over Kildare
TG4 All-Ireland SFC: Kildare 0-4 Meath 0-7 Meath booked their place in the TG4 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship quarter-finals with victory over Kildare in a low-scoring game In Newbridge. Poor conditions, with heavy rain for most of the first half, saw plenty of mistakes and poor handling by both sides. Kildare made the better start and Lara Curran opened the scoring in the second minute. Six minutes later Róisín Byrne hit over a lovely point to put two between the sides before Emma Duggan pointed a free in the 11th minute for the Royals. In the 15th minute Marion Farrelly's effort was blocked, while at the other end Byrne had a shot blocked down by Mary-Kate Lynch. READ MORE Just before half-time Duggan fired over a free to level matters at 0-2 apiece, with Meath also kicking four wides in the opening half. A third point from the boot of Duggan edged Meath in front for the first time in the 38th minute. Three minutes later the Dunboyne woman doubled her side's advantage when she hit over her third point of the game. Meath were reduced to 14 players in the 44th minute when Vikki Wall was adjudged to have fouled Claire Sullivan and she was shown a yellow card. With numerical advantage Kildare went on the attack and Ellen Dowling brought an excellent save out of Meath goalkeeper Robyn Murray in the 48th minute. The lead was extended to four points in the 59th minute when Marion Farrelly kicked over two fantastic points in quick succession. Kildare got their first score of the second half and their first since the eighth minute when Alannah Prizeman fired over a free. Duggan was on target again with her second point from play to restore her side's four-point lead. Prizeman kicked over a late free for Kildare but Meath held on for the win. Earlier, the heavy overnight saw the game between Dublin and Leitrim, scheduled for Parnell Park on Saturday afternoon, postponed due to an unplayable pitch.
