Glastonbury: A Timeline Guide To The World's Best Music Festival
See Gigwise's trip down memory lane...
- 2008 became the most-talked about Glastonbury ever when it was announced that Jay-Z would headline. It provoked a massive backlash, most notably from Noel Gallagher who was mocked by the rapper during his eventual triumphant show. The other less notorious headline slots came from Kings of Leon and The Verve. Ticket sales were slower than usual, not selling out until the eve of the festival, causing Michael Eavis much worry and the prospect of having a £5million deficit. A new Shangri-La area replaced Lost Vagueness.
