The Glastonbury line-up is due to be announced this month - this much we know. We know it will be massive, but can we be sure that it will top last year? That's going to take some doing, seeing as Glasto 2013 was filled with so many magic and legendary moments - moments that will live on not only in memory but in the pages of music history. 

From the likes of Haim, Frightened Rabbit and Jagwar Ma stepping up to the plate and totally owning it, to career-defining performances from giants like Rolling Stones, Arctic Monkeys, Nick Cave and Smashing Pumpkins - last year provided one hell of a good time, one for all time. 

Here are just 13 moments that Glastonbury 2013 so amazing, moments that are going to be very, VERY hard to beat this June. 

  • The moment when Haim battled diabetes to dominate the Pyramid Stage

  • The moment Alex Turner joined Miles Kane on stage to reunite the Last Shadow Puppets

  • The moment Frightened Rabbit proved themselves the perfect festival band

  • The moment Foals showed everyone why they deserve to headline festivals

  • The moment Arctic Monkeys went from indie heroes to rock gods

  • The moment Jagwar Ma brought a little Aussie sunshine to Somerset

  • The moment Azealia Banks was a terrifying green dinosaur type thing

  • The moment when Davendra Banhart and Fab off The Strokes were the coolest collaboration ever

  • The moment Rolling Stones performed 'Glastonbury Girl' - which was so bad it was almost good

  • The moment when Rufus Wainwright provided the perfect post-hangover Sunday morning sing-along on the Pyramid Stage

  • The moment Nick Cave scared the shit out of the crowd (and his management, no doubt) when he climbed into the first few rows of the audience

  • The moment everyone fell in love with Smashing Pumpkins again when they covered 'Space Oddity' David Bowie

  • The moment Phoenix brought an explosive close to Sunday in the John Peel tent
