Every year we're told another Glastonbury set 'changed everything', but only a few truly earned the hype. Rank these iconic UK festival performances by which one genuinely deserves its place in the history books.
Put the items in your preferred order.
Oasis at Knebworth 1996
The moment Britpop officially conquered the nation, or the bloated swansong of a band already eating itself alive. Either way, nobody's stopped talking about it for nearly thirty years.

Beyoncé at Glastonbury 2011
Purists clutched their pearls when a Destiny's Child star headlined the Pyramid Stage, then she delivered one of the festival's most commanding sets ever. Game over for the 'rock only' brigade.

David Bowie at Glastonbury 2000
He hadn't headlined since 1971 and turned up dressed like a Victorian rock god to deliver a near-perfect career retrospective. Many still call it the best Glastonbury set of all time.

Arctic Monkeys at Glastonbury 2013
Alex Turner's quiffed, Elvis-channelling era hit its peak in front of a worshipping Pyramid Stage crowd. Proof that British guitar music could still own the biggest stage in the country.

Stormzy at Glastonbury 2019
A union jack stab vest, a ballet interlude and a brutal political message rolled into one historic Pyramid Stage moment. Whether you loved it or loathed it, UK music shifted that night.banks
