The 2023 Glastonbury Festival of Contemporary Performing Arts is done and dusted. We saw epic sets from Blondie and WizKid, danced to Carly Rae Jepsen, moshed to Guns N’ Roses and swayed to the sounds of Lana Del Rey (eventually).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

But there’s so much going on that you can never catch everything, even if you have six screens simultaneously beaming the BBC iPlayer feeds into your eyeballs.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

So here are 15 of the best bits we saw on air, around the site and in interviews over the past five days.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

1) Lana Del Rey does one final song<\/span><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n

Lana Del Rey speaks to fans after her mic is cut<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

Who among us hasn’t turned up for work half an hour late with our hair a mess and smoking a vape? <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Lana Del Rey has. The US singer’s tardy arrival on The Other Stage ended in disaster, as she careered past the midnight curfew and had the plug pulled six songs before the end of her set.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

With her microphone cut off, she tried to address fans by shouting from the lip of the stage. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

“Bare minimum, can we at least do Video Games together?” she asked, prompting a beautiful a capella rendition of her breakthrough hit.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

After that, she climbed into the pit to chat with fans, sharing hugs and condolences. It was a beautiful moment, which made you mourn the moment it could have been if she’d been able to finish what had been, up to that point, a magical show.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

2) The dawn of RickAstonbury<\/span><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n
