Complaining about headliners at the Glastonbury festival has become something of a national pastime (frequently indulged in by people who never attend and only watch highlights on TV). It may all have started with Noel Gallagher’s patently ridiculous remarks about Jay Z in 2008: “I’m not having hip hop at Glastonbury. It’s wrong.”

Jay Z came out with an acoustic guitar, played Wonderwall and had the crowd eating out of his hands and Gallagher eating his words. But every year since then it seems like there have been grumblings about the headliners.

Artists are too old, too young, too rock, too pop, too hip, too uncool, too something for somebody somewhere. Last year it was Adele’s turn, the most universally popular star in the whole world accused of being too “boring” for Glastonbury.

A chatty woman in an evening gown singing middle of the road ballads may have been about as far from notions of rock and roll spectacle as you can imagine but it was actually very moving, perhaps for the very reason that Adele defied some nefarious outdated notion of what a rock festival is supposed to be about. Well that and the songs.

Her set was gorgeous and fantastic, uniting people in song and bringing a beautiful female energy to Saturday night on the Pyramid stage.

It all centres on elusive notions of what Glastonbury festival represents in the mind of whoever is casting aspersions. But Glastonbury’s diverse, amorphous, open minded character is one of the reasons it is still thriving in the post-rock era, and why it has taken on the status of a cultural institution.

It is defined by its audience, not its headliners, which is why tickets sell out before the line-up is even announced. It’s where the nation goes (symbolically at least) to let down its collective hair, raise its hems and fly its freak flag (or to put it in more British terms, erect its eccentric ensign).

And if, for whatever reason, the populism of Ed Sheeran does not remotely entice you, no one would begrudge you dragging your welly boots elsewhere. There’s sure to be a whole lot of other interesting stuff going on, and plenty of artists craving your attention. And there’ll be more elbow room for the rest of us in front of the Pyramid.
