Doechii made her mark on Glastonbury Saturday night, transforming the West Holts Stage into her own personal hip-hop classroom. In her festival debut, the Florida-born rapper delivered a bold, 45-minute set that blended sharp lyricism, live vocals, choreography, and striking visual storytelling.
Framed as a six-part “School of Hip-Hop” lesson plan, Doechii’s set celebrated the foundations of the genre—bars, flow, and technique—while showcasing her versatility as an artist. Backed by DJ Miss Milan, the performance wove together original hits with clever nods to legends like Wu-Tang Clan, OutKast, and Jay-Z, plus a dancefloor-worthy twist on Daft Punk’s “One More Time.”
A rock remix of her chart-topping single “Anxiety” brought raw energy to the night, while Doechii’s playful response to her recent Met Gala controversy—complete with umbrella-themed choreography—showed her self-awareness and humor.
Visibly emotional as Milan crowned her “the greatest rapper in the world,” Doechii closed with an encore of “The Art of Storytelling,” accompanied by scenes from her viral “Denial Is a River” video.
After a year of milestones, including her Billboard Woman of the Year title and Grammy win, Doechii’s Glastonbury debut cemented her status as hip-hop’s next boundary-breaking star.
