Roisin O'Connor JThis is categorically one of the greatest Glastonbury sets in history Cue Elton, and one of the greatest headline shows in festival history. You want FUN at a Glastonbury headline show, you want a boogie. This is EXACTLY what I was talking about with the Arctics set, by the way. Lizzo review, Glastonbury 2023: Life-affirming performance leaves you baffled as to why she wasn’t a headliner The Killers frontman Brandon Flowers joins Elton for ‘Tiny Dancer' Meet Elton John’s first surprise guest of the night Who is Stephen Sanchez? Meet Elton John’s second musical guest What the audience is saying - reactions to Elton John’s set In pictures: Elton John’s breathtaking headline set on the Pyramid Stage From the moment he sat down at the piano, the show has been a pure blast of euphoria from one of the world’s greatest living entertainers, with surprise guests including The Killers frontman Brandon Flowers, and Gabriels singer Jacob Lusk. He also gave superfan/comedian Ricky Gervais a shout-out on his birthday, before playing his song “Tea for the Tillerman”.Īt 9pm, John launched his performance with some of his best-known songs, including his 1975 cover of “Pinball Wizard” and “Benny and the Jets”. The revered folk singer-songwriter performed with his band in the coveted Legends Slot, a gig previously handed to artists including Lionel Richie, Kylie Minogue and Dolly Parton. Lil Nas X was the final artist to take to the main stage before the 76-year-old at Worthy Farm, Somerset, after a joyful Yusuf/Cat Stevens entertained fans with songs including “Wild World” and “Father and Son”.

Elton John performed what will go down as one of the greatest headline shows in Glastonbury history tonight (Sunday 25 June), to one of the biggest crowds the festival has seen in years.
