Last night at Glastonbury Festival an animated and up for it Kasabian, brought the curtain down on the main stages for another year before revellers squeezed the last night of festivalling out of the event for another year.

But it was Dolly Parton who was the real headlining act of the day drawing one of the largest crowds ever seen before the Pyramid Stage to hear the Country legend perform.

Earlier in the day founder Michael Eavis revealed during a press conference he is considering stepping down from the organising of the event, which happens on his farm, when it celebrates the 50th edition in 2020 although he didn't suggest the Festival itself would be stopping then. The event, originally called the Pilton Pop, Blues & Folk Festival, already has secured it's licence until 2024.

The farmer who turns 79 next year, also commented (as he nearly always does) that he has all three headliners in place, with the final one coming on board the night before during Metallica's set, and added there would be another fallow year in 2017.

It's been another brilliant weekend, we'll be bringing you our full review and hundreds of photographs once we've had a chance to sort through them all.

If you want a ticket to next year's Festival, remember you will first need to register, and then look out for ticket details later this year.
