This years Glastonbury line-up is one of the best we've seen in recent years. With names such as Jessie J, Biffy Clyro, Morrissey, and Paolo Nutini playing alongside headliners U2, Coldplay and Beyonce, the performances were far more diverse in musical taste than usual; there was something for everyone. I thought I'd pick just a few of my favourite performances to share with you:
Coldplay - Every Teardrop is a Waterfall
Coldplay's latest single has a very different sound to their usual style, and this is what makes it so special. I am a huge Coldplay fan, and love their classics, but every so often they need a song that is upbeat and gets people dancing. Their last such single, 'Viva La Vida', was praised for it's difference to the usual style, but for some reason 'Every Teardrop is a Waterfall' has divided fans, with many complaining that it's simply "not Coldplay". Rubbish. It is Coldplay, and it's fantastic.
Beyonce
Beyonce's entrance was spectacular. This performance shows just how prepared she is for such a big set; the vocals are perfect and there's not a foot out of place in the dance routines. Glastonbury's first female headliner in 25 years did an amazing job, and she looks genuinely excited to be there.
Mumford and Sons
I cannot wait for their 2nd album. Mumford & Sons have a brilliant stage presence and the crowd just love them. Their sound is so unique, it is little wonder they have such a huge following.
Biffy Clyro
Biffy looked like they were having so much fun at this years Glastonbury, and it's good to see they are finally getting the recognition they deserve. I thoroughly enjoyed this performance.
