The mirror in which – on stage at Glastonbury – he searched intensely for his interior flaws has gone, replaced by a giant white muslin cube used for projections, dramatic silhouettes and similar light effects.

Hardly any of them would’ve finished their Highers when Lamar’s breakthrough album good kid, m.A.A.d city was released in 2012. That said, it’s possible that Lamar’s place in the canon isn’t much in the mind of the giddily merry teens and twentysomethings who are the bulk of tonight’s audience.
