Lola was one of many huge acts performing at this year’s festival at Wembley Arena in London.
Other stars included in the line-up were Mariah Carey, Benson Boone, and Tate Mcrae.
Lola’s set was due to begin at 4:45 pm just after Zara Larsson giving her a 15 minute time slot for her to perform her best tracks.
As the singer began to sing her chart-topping hit Messy her earpiece had actually stopped working.
When a singer’s in ear monitor (IEM) fails it can significantly impact their ability to hear themselves affecting their performance and confidence.
Whilst she struggled on stage, Lola could be heard saying: “Sorry guys my ears are going in and out. Can I get some new ears?”
Trying to continue without it she begged the crowd to: “ Sing along please.”
The popstar struggled to keep in time with the music and her band exclaiming: “It’s like they’re doing it on purpose.”
When her set ended the star was spotted bursting into tears after hurrying offstage.
In clips uploaded to TikTok Lola can be seen visibly upset and distressed from the incident, crying into her hands as her team tried to comfort her.
Fans have rushed to support the star commenting messages of support and love, one user said: “I really don’t see how people can hate on someone for this? It was a sound issue and the crowd loved her still, I feel bad for her but she was one of the best acts!”
Another chimed: “She smashed it.”
“I felt so bad for Lola Young. Her earpiece stopped working and everything so she came off crying,” commented a third.
Some fans were angry at event organiser Capital insisting it was their sound engineer who was at fault.
In a rant, one fan said: “People don’t forget Lola Young is just starting she is a young talented singer. Yesterday her ear monitor stopped working, this is not hers or her band’s fault at all! This is down to the sound engineer at the Capital Summertime Ball.
“I do feel so sorry for Lola Young and my heart is with her and I hope that she is feeling okay. Capital should feel ashamed of yourself!!” they added.
Lola started writing songs aged 11, and by 13 had competed in and won a national open mic competition.
She was a student at the famous Brit School in Croydon which counts Adele and Amy Winehouse has past pupils.
Following the success of her single Messy last year, she enjoyed sell-out UK and US tours, and also appeared at Coachella.
Lola was also nominated for Best Pop Act at this year’s BRIT Awards.
Some fans may also not realise that Lola has nepo-baby roots her famous aunt is Julia Donaldson, the beloved author behind children’s book The Gruffalo.
