August 7, 2025 – Radio 854 Music News

Rising alt-pop star PinkPantheress is stepping into the spotlight with newfound confidence — and she credits her Glastonbury performance for helping her get there.

The elusive British singer, known for her viral hits like “Boy’s a liar” and “Pain,” recently shared how she battled intense nerves about performing live. In the early days of her career, PinkPantheress was known for keeping a low profile, often avoiding big stages and interviews. But all that changed after she hit one of the UK’s biggest festival stages.

“I used to have this genuine fear of being on stage,” she admitted in a new interview. “The idea of thousands of people watching me used to make me panic. But Glastonbury was a turning point.”

PinkPantheress performed at the iconic Glastonbury Festival earlier this summer, and the experience — rather than terrifying her — ended up being empowering.

“Something clicked,” she explained. “I just stopped worrying about being perfect and focused on having fun. That’s when I finally started to enjoy it.”

Fans and critics alike praised her Glastonbury set, applauding her infectious energy and cool confidence. The performance marked a major milestone in her evolution as a live artist — a shift she’s proud of.

“I finally feel like I belong on stage,” she said. “I’m still growing, but now I actually look forward to performing. That’s a big deal for me.”

As PinkPantheress continues to break genre boundaries and grow her fanbase, one thing is clear: she’s no longer hiding behind the music — she’s ready to own it, live and loud.
