Glastonbury 2017 highlights: From Jeremy Corbyn’s speech to Katy Perry crowdsurfing and The Killers’ secret set

The tents are packed, the stragglers are making their way out and the clean-up has begun.

Worthy Farm has shut its gates on this year’s five day party which welcomed some of the biggest names in music – and blessed revellers with little rain and plenty of sunshine.

So if you missed out – or are already in mourning on the trek home – we’ve rounded up all the best bits from this year’s Glastonbury Festival.

The Killers secret set

Emily Eavis had teased it for months, and finally on Sunday afternoon the cat was out of the bag as The Killers performed on the John Peel Stage.

They kicked off with When We Were Young before storming through the hits and playing new song I’m The Man – which frontman Brandon Flowers dedicated “to the ladies”.

The crowd went predictably crazy for Mr Brightside with Flowers barely audible as people, packed shoulder to shoulder, and spilling way out of the tent, sang along to the anthemic hit.

Dave Grohl and Taylor Hawkins swapping places for Queen cover

They say good things come to those who wait and Glastonbury revellers were far from disappointed when Foo Fighters thrashed onto the Pyramid Stage for their headline set two years later than expected.

The band – who were forced to pull out in 2015 after Grohl broke his leg – geared up the crowd with all of their big hitters, before Grohl harked back to his Nirvana days by taking over drumming duties from Hawkins to cover Queen’s Under Pressure.

Jeremy Corbyn’s speech

Festival-goers, hungry for the Labour leader, had been sporadically breaking out into chants of ‘Oh Jeremy Corbyn’ since first arriving on Wednesday.

So popular is the politician it was easy to forget people had paid to see the likes of Ed Sheeran and Radiohead.

The Labour leader impressed with his digs at President Donald Trump before leaving some revellers in tears as he called for unity and peace.

Radiohead played Karma Police

Marking 20 years since the release of OK Computer and their 1997 Glastonbury set, the Oxford quintet returned to close Friday night.

The 25 song set was so typically Radiohead as slower hits preceded more upbeat numbers.

The band wrapped up their headline slot with Karma Police, creating a hauntingly beautiful moment as the crowd, doused in purple light, sang out the famous lyrics: “For a minute then, I lost myself.”

Katy Perry crowdsurfs

Katy Perry came close to giving security heart attacks as she threw herself into the crowd on wrapping up her debut Glastonbury set.

The US pop superstar, who, let’s be honest, was never going to put on a tame show, dived head first into a sea of screaming fans after ending with Roar.

The set saw her dressed in a gold jumpsuit and accompanied by backing dancers as she entertained with hits including Teenage Dream, Firework and Dark Horse.

NYC Downlow official 10th birthday party

You haven’t experienced traffic until you’ve witnessed first-hand the squeeze to reach Worthy Farm’s famous ‘south-east corner’ – and this year was no exception as thousands flocked to Block9’s Meatpackers’ warehouse to celebrate NYC Downlow’s 10th anniversary.

The LGBTQ+ space featured the usual flamboyantly fabulous drag acts, go-go-boy butchers and raucous antics as Block9 co-founder Gideön played a “Decade of the Downlow” DJ set and raised a toast to the festival’s most uninhibited night.

Nile Rogers and Chic

Some people collect stamps, others old comic books – but Nile Rogers collects number one hits… and he really, really wanted people to know.

After a brief technical hiccup, which resulted in an anti-climactic countdown, the legendary musician joked about his decades spanning success before breaking into a medley of all his biggest hits as the sun broke out over the Pyramid Stage.

He took a short break as he opened up about the moment he was diagnosed with aggressive prostate cancer and told to get his “affairs in order” before continuing with Get Lucky and wrapping up with Good Times.

Liam Gallagher’s acoustic rendition of Don’t Look Back in Anger

Two Gallagher brothers performed this year – but it wasn’t for the rock n roll reunion we’ve been waiting eons for.

Instead Noel and Liam were there separately, with Liam attracting thousands of fans on the Other Stage where he flew through hits including Morning Glory and Rock ‘N’ Roll Star before ending with a stripped back rendition of Oasis’ hit, Don’t Look Back in Anger.

The fontman – who dedicated the song to the victims of the Manchester terror attack and the Grenfell Tower fire – let the crowd sing the lyrics as he wrapped up one of the festival’s most memorable moments. As you were.

See you in 2019.
