Last night's anticipated Kanye West headline slot failed to unite the crowd at Glastonbury Festival with his detractors not won over with his set delivered from a stark brightly lit stage. His entrance to Daft Punk's Faster Stronger and the lighting still created an iconic moment.

The other highlights around the sight was a fan pleasing set by Suede. Deadmau5 pulled out the stops on the impressive new Other Stage to a smaller crowd. Both Neville Staples and Public Service Broadcasting had packed Avalon and The Glade respectively. Special guest Michael Eavis joined The Moody Blues on tambourine, for a hit laden set.

But it was The Mothership Returns: George Clinton, Parliament, Funkadelic & The Family Stone that had the liveliest crowd, playing to a packed West Holts audience.

Earlier in the day Mavis Staples delivered an incredible set asking why it was her first and not her tenth visit. The packed Park field could only agreed. Earlier Burt Bacharach played singalong gentle songs in the sunshine on the Main Stage, and both Father John Misty, and Vintage Trouble shared honours for best sets of the day. Vintage Trouble were back and determined not to be beaten by the weather this year. A high tempo set included singer To Taylor crowd surfing all the way to the West Holts sound desk, before climbing it to ask the delighted throng to love each other and continued the dirty Blues rockout.

Today festival goers have The Who, and Lionel Richie among the big names, plus a visit from The Dalai Lama in the Sacred Space Stone Circle Field at 10.45 today. There's also The Zombies, Steel Pulse, Songhoy Blues, Patti Smith, Future Islands and many more to see today.

The site is currently holding up well under a prolonged bout of rain but that's due to end shortly with overcast skies forecast.

It's the last chance to explore the site today and see some of the vast array of performing arts on show.
