Stormzy made history with an explosive headline set on the Pyramid Stage at Glastonbury 2019.

The grime star became the first British rapper to headline the world-famous music festival on Friday 28 June, with a performance that included guest appearances from Coldplay frontman Chris Martin, and fellow MCs Dave and Fredo.

As expected following an announcement by the BBC, Stormzy’s set was uncensored and included a stand-out line from his single “Vossi Bop”: “F*** the government and f*** Boris.”

Elsewhere, he sampled a speech by Labour MP David Lammy, who responded with a tweet: "Stormzy using his headline spot at #glastonburyfestival2019 to speak out about the injustice of young black kids being criminalised in a biased and disproportionate justice system. Humbled and inspired that he sampled my speech. Salute #Merky."

Stormzy also featured a gospel choir for his song “Blinded By Your Grace”, dance troupes, and a special shout out his fellow artists, from established grime pioneers such as Wiley and Skepta to future stars including AJ Tracey, Ms Banks, Yxng Bane and Stefflon Don.

“This is the greatest night of my entire life. Who’s got energy today?” he asked the thousands of people watching his show.

For his grand finale he closed on “Big For Your Boots”, the track from his Brit Award-winning, record-breaking debut album Gang Signs & Prayer.

Stormzy hasn't taken as many pops at politicians as he could have. Instead, he's chosen to celebrate black British culture, from ballet to grime. What's more, he's promising that there's more to come, reeling off lists of artists to listen out for. He apologises for any of the names he's forgotten, but I'd say he's given a pretty impressive list if anyone wants to broaden their horizons.

In case you missed Dave and Fredo's guest appearance during Stormzy's scorching Glasto set:

The spiritual anthem "Blinded by Your Grace Part 2" is followed up by a blistering rendition of  "Big for Your Boots". This track launched Stormzy into the mainstream back in 2017 and it remains his biggest tune. Wit and rhythm, it's everything you could ever want in a Grime track.

That's all from me for tonight, what a performance to end on, it's been an absolute pleasure.
