With Stevie Wonder headlining Glasto this year for me it will be another surreal moment when he walks on stage as he is def someone I never thought id see.

Are there any other bands/singers who you've seen live who you cant actually believe youve seen, for me its :

Blondie at my first Glastonbury, in 1999, aged 17.

Seeing The Who and David Bowie in the same weekend at Isle of Wight 04.

Seeing James Brown support the RHCP.

Seeing Rage Against The Machine at Leeds 2008.

Seeing Neil Young last year at Glasto.

James Brown - he totally owned the tent he was playing in!

Brian Wilson - it started off a bit shaky with him asking the tent to sing 'Row row row your boat' but he proved himself as a well-loved legend
