SZA is stepping away from live performances for “a while”
SZA has confirmed that she’s taking a break from performing live “for a while” – see what the singer-songwriter had to say below.
Late last night (August 5), the ‘Kill Bill’ singer took to X (formerly Twitter) to make the announcement. It comes a day after she performed at the Osheaga festival in Montreal, Canada on August 5.
SZA wrote: “Yesterday was my last show for a while. Finally ’bout to get my life together thank u God.”

SZA’s post comes after the singer-songwriter performed a string of major festival performances across the United States and Europe, including a headlining performance at Glastonbury.
The singer took her place at the top slot of the Pyramid Stage on June 30, where her triumphant set list was also unfortunately marred by numerous technical and audio difficulties. Taking to X/Twitter, the singer wrote in defence of her performance: “The bravery required to be alive in public is remarkable. S/o everybody doing that shit.”
In our review of the singer’s headline set, NME wrote in a four-star review: “As disjointed as this show occasionally is, though, it’s hypnotic and potent. The turnout is noticeably small for a headliner, but the extra space on the ground allows young women to share smiles of recognition and understanding with strangers while singing along to songs centred on overcoming toxic romances and self-esteem battles.”
“‘This is for my day ones only,’ SZA exclaims as she introduces closer ‘20 Something’ to screams from the front section of the crowd. In the moment, their unwavering devotion is clearly the only response that matters.”
