Glastonbury 2013's Standout Moments
After a year off in 2012, Glastonbury returned with a triumphant bang that won't soon be forgotten. Thousands of acts performed this weekend on over 50 stages in the UK's biggest music festival, with 180,000 people descending on a sprawling English farm.
The Rolling Stones played for the first time in the festival's 43 years, an event billed as a moment of rock history. Tickets sold out in minutes last October, long before The Stones, Mumford and Sons, The Arctic Monkeys and Public Enemy were confirmed as headliners. Those who did score tickets also had the opportunity to catch unexpected shows, like Radiohead singer Thom Yorke's secret set this year.
