The live stream itself was a beautiful celebration of British music. Mercury Prize winners, Wolf Alice and Michael Kiwanuka opened the day with brilliant sets – Wolf Alice coming live from the stone circle, playing a mix of new and old. Kiwanuka played in a hastily erected tent (it wouldn’t be Glastonbury without some rain, right?) and George Ezra performed a short set in front of a crackling and popping camp fire.

IDLES made a classically rabble rousing racket inside a storage shed, thunderous post punk played out in front of cars, welding and twisted steel. HAIM brought their brand of indie pop along, plus some gurning bass-face for good measure. Stalwarts Coldplay performed in front of the Pyramid Stage and there were some superb spoken word pieces from Kae Tempest, Jarvis Cocker and PJ Harvey.

blur and Gorillas frontman, Damon Albarn played an eclectic mix of his back-catalogue, with a leather jacket clad orchestra. He stuck mostly to ballads and piano lead soft tracks, but performing under a giant moon, Albarn looked right at home.  Thom Yorke and Johnny Greenwood’s new outfit, The Smile, played an interesting set of new tunes and the night was rounded off by Jorja Smith and some brilliant DJ performances from DJ Honey Dijon and a brilliant set from Róisín Murphy.

Overall a superb night of fun, unfortunately blighted by technical issues for so many. The event kicked off on Saturday morning, but many fans were unable to watch the show – a whole host of technical issues plagued Live At Worthy Farm from the start. Many fans were met with messages of “invalid codes”, or streams that refused to connect. Both Glastonbury and Drift Live were met with a torrent of angry tweets and Facebook comments from furious users, who had payed £20 a pop for a ticket to the event.
