So, we’ve all seen that video of Dua Lipa being sung to at Glastonbury Festival last weekend, but who is the busker featured in the video, and which other celebs did he manage to track down at Worthy Farm?
The ukulele-wielder in question is Liam C, and he’s previously shared videos online of him singing for the likes of Stormzy, Dappy and more. He currently has over 60,000 followers on Instagram, where he shares many of his busking clips.
If you somehow managed to miss the viral Dua Lipa clip, you can watch it below. The video has been met with some mixed reactions online, with some alluding that the Houdini singer felt a tad awkward about the whole encounter. Funnily enough, Liam was actually not supposed to be in the area where he sang to Lipa, and was later removed by security.
Liam, now in his early 20s, previously said in an interview with HoboJack at age 18 that he plays both the ukulele and a bit of guitar, but often opts for the uke as “you see a lot more singer-songwriter-rappers with a guitar”, and he wants to be unique.
Elsewhere in the interview, he outlined his dream of “jamming to 97,000 seats at Wembley stadium in five years”. Check out more of his busking videos below, including some shot at this year’s Glasto fest:
2024’s Glastonbury Festival kicked off Wednesday 26 June last week, and wrapped up on Sunday 30 June. It hosted sets from the likes of Jungle, SZA, Justice, Nia Archives, Disclosure and a whole load more. Fred again… also hosted a surprise set at its Strummerville Stage following a huge performance on its second largest stage last year, the Other Stage.
The festival is due to take a year off following 2025’s event in order to allow the land to rest.
