This year, Billie Eilish headlined the Pyramid Stage on the Friday night at Glastonbury Festival after being confirmed as the youngest ever singer to top the festival's bill.
Sir Paul McCartney headlined on the Saturday night, whilst Kendrick Lamar headlined on Sunday, signalling the end of the festival with a powerful performance.
Diana Ross also performed on Sunday in the now sought after 'legend slot'. Her performance for 'Upside Down', saw the front line of security staff break out into a choreographed routine in front of the stage, as Diana encouraged the audience to dance along.
With this year’s iconic highlights still fresh in our minds, they're sure to have left some of us with the post-Glastonbury blues. So, what better way to carry on the spirit of Glastonbury than a look back at previous headliners and a discussion of who you think the best headliner of time at really was.
Have your say in the comments below.
In 2019, Stormzy graced the festival as the first grime artist to headline Glastonbury with what became known as a critically-acclaimed performance. Although, we can’t not give an honourable mention to ‘Alex from Glasto’ for his stellar, viral contribution to Dave’s set.
Casting our minds back to 2011 now, who could forget Beyoncé’s iconic show. And 2004 saw Oasis, Paul McCartney and Muse draw in the crowds, whilst 2000 would see David Bowie headline for the final time.
These headline acts have a huge impact culturally, even continuing to rack up millions of views via clips and snippets shared to YouTube years and even decades later.
Now we’re asking you; Who is your favourite Glastonbury headliner of all time? Whether you’re more a fan of the most recent performances or you firmly believe the best headliners were during the early days of the festival, we want to hear from you.
