Jade Thirlwall put on a brave face on Saturday as she took to the stage at the Electric Picnic 2026 in Stradbally, Ireland, weeks after her split from boyfriend Jordan Stephens.
Last month it was reported that the singer, 33, had split from the Rizzle Kicks star, 34, after six years together.
And amid her heartbreak, Jade ploughed on with work, entertaining fans on the main stage at the gig at Stradbally Hall.
In a nod to Ireland, Jade opted for a green sports shirt which she wore over a black leotard.
The Fantasy hitmaker showcased her legs in fishnet tights, finishing her look with sunglasses, knee-high black socks and boots.
Jade appeared in good spirits as she belted out her tracks, with the singer excitedly seen working the crowd.

Her appearance comes weeks after she seemingly referenced the end of her relationship with Jordan as she sang Shout Out To My Ex at the Lollapalooza Music Festival in Chicago.
Jade's choice to cover the track from her Little Mix heyday was hailed 'iconic' by fans, given her new single status.
The singer got roars from the crowd as she belted out the lyrics: 'Shout out to my ex, you're really quite the man, You made my heart break and that made me who I am.
'Here's to my ex, hey, look at me now, well, I, I'm all the way up, I swear you'll never bring me down'.
One festival goer shared a clip on Instagram and fans wrote in the comments: 'Singing this after she just broke up with her ex' and 'Iconic'.
Jordan, meanwhile, addressed his personal life in the latest episode of his podcast Miss Me? with Miquita Oliver.
Explaining how he has never had a high profile relationship before, he addressed how 'complex and difficult' relationships can be and hinted that 'more will come out'.
He told fans: 'I think I'm uncomfortable with even the concept of it being out.

'I've never experienced, I've never been in a high profile relationship really so I think I'm very conflicted because I definitely pride myself on being open and transparent and I like to pull apart experiences of my own in the hope that it can create insight or like create conversation.
'But I think this is a difficult one because if I'm to believe how quickly speculation can arise. I'm always like a couple words or sentences away from either making something worse.'
Suggesting he will open up when he is ready he continued: 'I'm definitely going to talk and write I think once things have settled a little bit.
'Obviously I'm not going to avoid something that's quite obvious that's been a thing. I don't want to like pretend like that isn't happening or hasn't happened but I also want to make it clear that it's so bizarre.
'I'm a very transparent person and things will come out when necessary and I don't mean to be too cryptic, it really isn't that deep, well I mean it is deep for me but I mean I think it's really important that whatever you may think as an everyday normal human...
'Like how complex and difficult relationships can be, there's no difference, you don't get any exemptions. There's no unusual subjective feeling when you also have followers.
'It just doesn't work like that. Grief does not or anything like that or any powerful emotion doesn't discriminate.'
He added: 'My main point is I want to protect people. I don't want to quite get into it.'
The former couple lived together and split their time between properties in London and Margate, in Kent, but are said to have separated earlier this year.
Jordan has since wiped all trace of Jade from his Instagram and she has also removed all images of the singer from her own page.
