The announcement came off the back of SZA’s hugely successful sophomore album, SOS, which was released in December 2022 and earned the superstar the record for the largest streaming week for an R&B album in the United States.
The album not only launched SZA onto the international stage by claiming 10 non-consecutive weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart — the most among albums by women in seven years — but earned her nine Grammy nominations and three Grammy wins.
SOS marks the first time the star has toured arenas and many music critics have praised the singer for her show-stopping production.
Rolling Stone said: “SZA lives up to all the anticipation,” while the New York Times called her Madison Square Garden headlining debut “vigorous, confident, theatrical and intimate — the sort of show that manages the rare trick of feeling both vibrantly communicative and also protectively insular”.
Now, the Snooze hitmaker has been announced as the headline act at Glastonbury this year, and will also be taking to the stage at Lollapalooza in Chicago and the Governor’s Ball in New York.
