30 June, 2013: It's no easy job following Arctic Monkeys and Rolling Stones, but Mumford & Sons' Sunday night headline show at Glastonbury was nothing short of breathtaking, proving themselves one of the most spectacular live bands in the UK today. See photos of their Worthy Farm performance here.
The performance was a triumph on more than one count. Not only did it mark the band's speedy ascent to the top of their game, but was also a welcome return to the stage for for bandmember Ted Dwane, after his recent surgery for a blood clot on his brain. There were previous concerns over his health for Glasto, but on Sunday night the band performed as a full four-piece.
During the show they were joined on stage by fellow performers and showbiz mates The Vaccines and Vampire Weekend. See the photos here.
