The 16 moments that will define Glastonbury 2015
From Florence stepping up as headliner to Lionel Richie's afternoon slot
Florence + The Machine proving herself a worthy headliner: Let's face it, it was a bit perplexing that Florence wasn't headlining in the first place. She may only have three albums, but both The Killers and Arctic Monkeys did it with just two, and there's more ferocious energy and orchestral anthems in one of her albums than many artists have in their whole career. Across 10 years of UK festivals, there have been 14 all-female headliners and 264 all-male ones. Florence may be just a drop in an ocean of testosterone this year, but what better drop than her? Let this set a precedent.

The beautiful thing about Glastonbury is that it always throws up a few surprises. A famous band is joined on stage by someone even bigger; former bandmates reunite for a glorious singalong; someone falls off the stage (although we're already way over the year's average for that one); a band that happened to be playing in a tent you stumbled into, hungover, at 11am turns out to be your favourite performance of the week.
But there are also several moments that we can already pretty much guarantee will be incredible. Florence + The Machine stepping up as headliner, for example, or Patti Smith performing Horses on its 40th anniversary.
As Glastonbury 2015 edges ever closer, let's use the time we still have left to wait to run down on some of the moments that will surely make the festival.
