Amazing Moments You Forgot Happened At Glastonbury Festival

From Bowie to Beyoncé, Glastonbury never fails to disappoint. We round up some of the most amazing moments in Glastonbury history.

1. In 2009 Lady Gaga absolutely killed it on the main stage at Glastonbury. However, her performance was overshadowed by rumours that she has a *ahem* penis due to an unfortunate clothing bulge.

2. At Glastonbury 2014 Dolly Parton showed everyone why she's the Queen of country music. Her flawless performance drew one of the biggest crowds in Glastonbury history.

3. Last year's Glastonbury festival proved that legends such as Lionel Richie draw in everyone, not just the oldies. His set drew in a huge crowd to the Pyramid Stage.

4. Mumford & Sons closed their epic 2013 headline performance with a cover of The Beatles' 'A Little Help From My Friends'. They created a supergroup by bringing The Vaccines, The Staves and Vampire Weekend on stage with them. #squadgoals.

5. David Bowie's headline performance in 2000 has since been hailed 'the best Glastonbury moment of all time' by the festival's creator, Michael Eavis.

6. Who could forget Kanye West declaring himself as the greatest rock star of all time during his headline performance in 2015? Yeah, us neither.

7. Glastonbury 2008 was a landmark year as the creators took a chance in putting Jay-Z in a headline slot. Inevitably people were equal amounts outraged and excited. In our opinion, he absolutely nailed it.

8. Following on from Jay-Z's epic headline performance, Beyoncé totally slayed in 2011. Her set has gone down in history as one of the best ever.

9. Last year's Glastonbury festival was full of surprise collaborations and one of our favourites had to be when Jamie T spontaneously joined The Maccabees during their set for 'Marks To Prove It'.

10. The Rolling Stones had their Glastonbury debut in 2013 and blew the crowds away with their phenomenally flamboyant performance. From Mick Jagger's glittery blazer to their giant fire breathing bird, it was insane!

11. How could we forget Wiley's epic Twitter rant about Glastonbury 2013? The UK rapper went off on one, begging the festival to cancel his slot for not paying him enough. Oh & the rain has something to do with it too.

12. U2's 2011 headline set was named a disappointment after a highly publicised protest against their tax avoidance. Perhaps this was the reason that Bono's performance was a little, let's say, stressed.

14. The Smith's iconic 1984 performance has since been hailed one of the most controversial headlining performances of all time. At the time the idea of a popular band headlining was way off the norm, but they won everyone over with their incredible set.

15. Blur reunited in 2009 and took to the Pyramid Stage with the crowd's recital of 'Tender' bringing Damon Albarn to tears. Aww.

16. At Glastonbury 2015 Patti Smith was joined during her Pyramid Stage slot by none other than the Dalai Lama. She honoured him ahead of his 80th birthday with a little poem.

17. Radiohead returned to Glastonbury for a secret set on the Park Stage in 2011. This was their fifth Glastonbury performance, here's hoping there's another one this summer!

18. In 2005 Kylie Minogue had to pull out of her slot due to being diagnosed with breast cancer. Basement Jaxx took her slot and performed a rendition of 'Can't Get You Out Of My Head', as did that year's headliner's Coldplay.

20. Michael Eavis marked Orbital's 1994 performance as a pivotal moment in dance music's history. As well as this, Channel 4's coverage stamped it into Glasto history.

21. Last year's Glastonbury was shrouded by sadness when Foo Fighter's frontman Dave Grohl broke his leg, forcing the band to pull out of their headline slot. Luckily Florence + The Machine was an excellent stand in performing 'Times Like These'.

22. 2014 headliners Kasabian took their set to the next level with a guest performance from Noel Fielding. During 'Vlad The Impaler', Fielding joined them on stage dressed as Vlad himself - glasto gold!

23. During 2009's Glastonbury Festival, music legend Michael Jackson passed away. Those at the festival will always remember where they were the moment he died.

24. Stevie Wonder celebrated the festival's 40th anniversary with a headline performance. Treating fans to all their favourites such as 'Signed, Sealed, Delivered', Stevie really knows how to wow the crowds.
