So, what *did* happen at Glastonbury this year? Here’s our handy round up of the stories your heart could desire.
True to form as always, Tim Westwood made a cringe-worthy first appearance at Glasto interviewing Jay-Z. Tim Jonze’s “interview” with Westwood summed it up a treat.
Jay-Z himself appears to have gone down a storm (according to every report I’ve read apart from this lone naysayer), although there were still 800 tickets going spare. But Eavis appears to be back to betting on safe horses for next year, with Radiohead and Coldplay already rumoured to be in the running for headliners in 2009.

Anna from TV Scoop enjoyed Wino’s performance, but the general consensus appears to be that she sounded weak and unfocused. The same can probably be said for that punch she threw.
Apparently, James Blunt had an audience made up of both Blunt-loving ballad worshippers and Blunt-hating boo bellowers. That helps to explain why the audience looked so unnecessarily populated, then.
Highlights included, Neil Diamond and Leonard Cohen. While the Park was once again one of the best stages at the festival, with Dizzee Rascal and Franz Ferdinand getting good reviews, and Pete Doherty putting on yet another solo performance after Babyshambles decided not to play.
Eavis himself says he’d like to keep doing Glasto until he’s 80 - which means we’ll still be wading in mud in the summer of 2015.
Right, well that’s another Glastonbury out the way. Is it time for everyone to start writing columns about how Glastonbury has returned to form, it’s not time to write it off just yet, and Jay-Z’s performance has heralded a new era in the festival’s history? I should think so, yes.
