Noel Gallagher has admitted that he thought Coldplay's set a this year's Glastonbury festival was 'pretty spectacular'.

In an interview with 6 Music, Gallagher hailed Coldplay's headline set on the Pyramid Stage earlier this summer.

"I got halfway through it and said to the missus, 'They are having the gig of their lives here. It was pretty spectacular and the way they lit up the pyramid on the Pyramid Stage, that means no-one else can ever do it now,'' Gallagher said.

Despite criticising the festivals crowd in 2008, the former Oasis member said that Glastonbury stands out as the best festival in the UK.

"Glastonbury is a one-off. The rest of the festivals, with all the best will in the world, are just big gigs in fields," the star added.

"Glastonbury is a festival in the truest sense, the music is secondary to your festival experience; you could go there for three days and not see one single band and have a great time."

Songs in Coldplay's Glastonbury set included ‘The Scientist’, ‘Shiver’, ‘Violet Hill’ as well as new tracks ‘Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall’ and ‘Major Minus’.
