Glastonbury : All the major stages reviewed
Who rocked Glastonbury? Was Paul McCartney really the biggest draw at Glasters? The festival's first big draw was Oasis headlining the Pyramid Stage on Friday. The band set mainly consisted of songs from ‘Definitely Maybe’ and...
Glastonbury : Pyramid Stage (Sunday Evening)
Kissing goodnight to Glastonbury 2003 on the Pyramid Stage is techno elfin Moby . Like the Manic Street Preachers before him, his is a curious mix of the anarchic festival spirit of old and its new increasingly corporate direction. With 1991's...
Glastonbury : Other Stage (Sunday Evening)
It falls to Doves to provide the weekend’s poignant farewell, if you’re too tired for Streets over in the dance tent. Jimi, Andy and Jez hardly have a bad track record when it comes to uniting people in dizzying blanket-warm melody, but...
Glastonbury : Pyramid Stage (Sunday Afternoon)
Timed to perfection, the Sugababes take to the Pyramid Stage at exactly the same time ex-member Siobhan Donaghy is making her solo festival debut over in the New Stage. Well aware of the media face-off being played around her, new-girl Heidi...
Glastonbury : Other Stage (Sunday Afternoon)

Glastonbury : Pyramid Stage (Saturday Evening)
Thom Yorke has a smile on his face as soon as he walks onstage. It's a good sign. Tonight is the night when the old and the new Radiohead s combine. Even though they open with new material - 'There There' and '2+2=5', this is Radiohead in...
Glastonbury : Other Stage (Saturday Afternoon)
Just how cool are Interpol ? So cool that they're still wearing suits while even the pastiest of indie-poseurs have had to remove their skinny-fit T-shirts because of the heat ( Har Mar Superstar doesn't count, he's been practically naked for...
Glastonbury : Pyramid Stage (Saturday Afternoon)
Always ones to make the effort for a special occasion, the Polyphonic Spree turn up in orange robes and daub the fields of Pilton in joy. Their now-standard incantations to togetherness and the elements might be in the need of refuelling in other...
Glastonbury : Pyramid Stage (Friday Evening)
REM may go down as the biggest international band ever to play Glastonbury and, given the festival's inclination towards indie-ness, sensitivity, optimism and political correctness, they're the perfect group for this stage. Greenpeace videos...
