Stormzy played Glastonbury's Pyramid Stage on the night of June 28, 2019, and the Guardian review published the next day describes the set as a show of supreme talent that underlined how much his charisma has pushed UK rap forward.

The piece opens by acknowledging how odd the booking looked: an artist with only one album released being elevated to the festival's main stage. For the critic, the performance answered the doubt with a set that passes the test.

The show was marked by the rapper's emotion: he called it “the greatest night of my life.” The review argues that the performance cemented UK rap's place at the top of the bill at one of the world's biggest festivals.
