5 Best Glastonbury Headline Sets Of The Last Decade

Probably the most controversial headline performance Glastonbury has ever seen, accompanied by a petition of 135,000 signatures to get his slot cancelled, Kanye West delivered the most divisive yet memorable performance in the festival's recent memory.

Opening with Daft Punk-samling classic, 'Stronger', and stood beneath a ceiling of light, Kanye got just four songs in before it seemed that he had "done a Kanye" and refused to perform, during his punk-rap 'Yeezus' hit, Black Skinhead. To those in attendance, and initially those watching at home, it was unclear what had caused Ye to stop performing, until it was apparent that comedian Lee Nelson (real name Simon Brodkin) had walked on stage, appearing to duet with West.

Once this was out of the way, Kanye continued with his set, somehow making the giant stage seem so small on his own, with politically-fuelled tracks such as 'Power' and 'New Slaves', more religious moments in 'Jesus Walks', and straight-up party anthems, 'All of The Lights' and 'Gold Digger'.

The highlight and most-memorable part of the show came when Ye left the stage, to climb into a cherry picker to perform Queen classic, 'Bohemian Rhapsody', and somehow forget the lyrics to a song which people are born knowing the words to.

To anyone sat at home watching Kanye's set, it was quite possibly the worst musical performance they had ever seen. To anyone in attendance, they would likely tell you it was one of the best live music experiences they had been a part of.

If nothing else, in true Kanye West style, this set was certainly controversial.
