Much as that was brilliant show from a master showman, cat stevens this afternoon was my personal highlight and really moved me

When your opinion is outnumbered you’ll find you’re probably on the wrong side
Like someone said above it’ll go down as one of the greatest closing sets of all time

Will be watching this one tomorrow. I’m going to enjoy looking through all the performances on iPlayer over the next few days.

As a huge Radiohead fan - I think they found that their popularity was somewhat diminished in their 2017 appearance. Times change but for me Elton delivered with a back catalogue of outstanding hits that would shame many bands total discography. I think he is past his best vocally, but that doesn't take anything away from his impact and the crowds response.

Cat Stevens was top quality
I think you'll find I'm not outnumbered on that opinion
Tell me you know **** all about Glastonbury without telling me you know **** all about Glastonbury.

Been twice (2005,2007), most commentary I’ve seen says it’s the best closing sets everI think you'll find I'm not outnumbered on that opinion

Radiohead May have performed better in 97. They didn’t hit banger after banger. Probably the biggest crowd at the pyramid stage too

Radiohead in 1997 for many largely saved the day, it had rained for a month, some stages were actually sinking, some bands cancelled (I think Neil Young and Steve Winwood were among them.) They had issues with the equipment but decided to play through it and got the crowd on side and up for the performance on the night.
The rest is history.

I think Taylor Swift is absolutely nailed on to be one of the headliners next year given she’s doing a stadium tour around that time.

Lots of people overrate that set as well TBF. But it’s all just opinion.
Just watched them on iPlayer, definitely the best band i have seen all weekend. Pure class, line up works brilliantly.Dear me there's some people on here up their own rses spouting pretentious bollox - it's simply some blokes playing some songs for christ's sake
Anyway, there's only one band worth bothering with over the whole weekend - Generation 5ex this afternoon

Nice. Just a correction they are from Leigh in Greater Manchester rather than Cumbria.

Great 5 days comes to the end. As. I sit in the Campervan East field reflecting on the last few days.
One of the best of the 11 I have now done. On paper the line up looked a bit thin to some people. But it delivered on other levels. Personal highlights .
1. Sparks on Friday evening. Simply brilliant.
2. Rick Astley day yesterday. His Smiths set with Blossoms was fab.
3. Lottery Winners
4. Toyah Wilcox and Robert Fripp especial David Bowie 's Heroes on which RF had played.
5The Damned on Friday.
6. Generation Sex on Saturday afternoon
7. War on Drugs this evening.
8. Elton

It's a full on arts festival. There's circus, poetry, book readings, plus loadss of different quriky things going on. The site is massive and there's way more to it then the music.
