The Dalai Lama to The Wombles: The most unusual Glastonbury bookings
The festival so left-field it's got a stage dedicated to it
English Nationa Ballet, 2014: It was a brave decision to have the English National Ballet opening the Pyramid Stage last year... and it turned out to be a genius one. To commemorate the 100th anniversary of World War One, the group performed an incredibly moving dance, which focussed on the empowerment of women during the Great War. For once, a completely silent crowd was a very good sign indeed.

If you thought Jay-Z was a strange booking for Glastonbury in 2008, or Metallica in 2014, then you clearly weren't there to witness The Wombles' seminal live show in 2011.
Glastonbury has hosted some truly strange acts throughout the years - good and bad. In fact, it's often these bizarre bookings that prove, time and time again, to be amongst the festival's highlights.
From Matt Smith joining Orbital onstage to the Dalai Lama's scheduled appearance this year, here are the most unusual Glastonbury bookings of all time.
