Glastonbury: 'Blur, The Boss And Neil Young Delivered Best Ever Festival'

Glastonbury organiser Michael Eavis has said this year's festival, which ended yesterday, was the best ever.

Eavis, who has a reputation for making the same statement every year, said the three headliners – Blur Bruce Springsteen and Neil Young – pleased everyone.

“Having Neil Young, who I've been waiting for for 39 years, and Bruce Springsteen just appear out of the blue - and of course Blur tonight - we've got three major, major headliners,” he told reporters.

"Neil Young pleased all the old hippie types and Springsteen pleased everyone else. He did a hell of a show, what energy he has at 58 years of age is amazing.

“What a show! It was probably the best show he's done in his life. What a starting point, and you have everything else as well, of course!"

Glastonbury was fined £3,000 after Springsteen's two-and-a-half hour set broke the festival's curfew.

But Eavis said he would pay the fine because he was so impressed by the musician's set.

Meanwhile, the festival's organiser, who plans to retire in 2011, said he was targetting three or four headliners for next year, which will mark Glastonbury's 40th anniversary.

“We've got some headliners who haven't played for a few years and some who have never played here,” he said. “I'm not saying names, it will be the same old guessing game.

"But they're all on the phone at the moment so it will be special, but it will not be better than this year, it was just fantastic!"
