Glastonbury 2014 Highlights Package

Glastonbury 2014 wrapped up on Sunday after showcasing some of the world’s greatest musical talents. Courageous punters braved the rain and mud to catch their favourite performers, but now the rest of us can relive each and every moment from the comfort of our computer chairs.

Below, and arranged for your viewing pleasure, are some of the biggest, brightest and most exciting sets and performances from Glastonbury 2014. There’s an abundance of acts who are set to play at Splendour in the Grass in late July, each of them offering a very tasty preview of things to come.

There’s also massive sets from acts who’ve recently toured Australia, who we’d like to see tour Australia, who will be touring soon, as well as tunes from musical living legends and even some home-grown talent, who took to Glasto stages to show punters what Aussie musos are made of.

Most of these artists have only recently put out new material, so we should be graced by their presence soon enough.
