Olivia Rodrigo is giving fans a chance to relive her spectacular Glastonbury headline set with a brand-new live album.

The 22-year-old pop sensation closed the festival on June 29, thrilling the crowd by inviting The Cure’s Robert Smith on stage to perform Friday I’m In Love and Just Like Heaven

The duets, already released as a single, will see all net proceeds donated to Doctors Without Borders.

Sharing her excitement on X, Olivia wrote: “I’m sooooo excited to announce u can preorder ‘Live From Glastonbury (a BBC recording)’ on vinyl in my store!! It also serves as proof to me that performing Friday I’m In Love and Just Like Heaven with @TheCure’s @RobertSmith wasn’t a dream.”

The full album is set for release on December 5 as a double LP, available in striking magenta and periwinkle editions.

Olivia opened her set in a white lace dress with Obsessed from her 2023 album GUTS, firing up the crowd with her trademark energy. 

Before Robert’s guest spot, she hailed him as a personal hero and one of England’s greatest songwriters.

The songstress also gushed about her love for the UK, sharing playful nods to English culture and treats, including sticky toffee pudding and even cheekily mentioned her fondness for “English boys,” a wink at boyfriend Louis Partridge.

With this release, fans across the UK and beyond can now experience the magic of Olivia’s Glastonbury headline moment from the comfort of their own homes.

What is Olivia Rodrigo being accused of?

Olivia Rodrigo has faced accusations of copying or heavily borrowing from other artists in her music and visuals. 

Her songs like Good 4 U, Déjà Vu, and Brutal drew comparisons to Paramore, Taylor Swift, and Elvis Costello, leading her to credit them retroactively. 

She’s also faced claims over visual similarities, such as her Sour Prom aesthetic compared to Courtney Love’s work. 

Despite these controversies, Rodrigo maintains her music is inspired by her personal experiences and the artists she admires.
