Anyone thinking of betting their heard-earned on Art Brut supporting the Killers or Kings of Leon anytime soon, please read on. If we can think of one band who won't be asked to open for either, thanks to this weekend, it's Art Brut.
During Art Brut's Other Stage set, singer Eddie Argos sang the lines, "This sex is on fire" and "Are we human? Or are we dancer?" during the song 'Slap Dash' in a less-than-enthusiastic tone.
"What does it mean? What does any of it f---ing mean?" he asked the crowd, earning a cheer, but little chance of a Christmas card from the Followill clan or the Family Flowers.
Glastonbury 2009: Sunday
Glastonbury awoke on Sunday to more perfect festival weather.
Damon Albarn's reunified Blur were the act most people were waiting for.
The Britpop icons played a hits-packed, 24-song Pyramid Stage set.
Blur's set was their first Glastonbury performance since 1998, and brought the festival to a close.
The gig saw the band reunited with guitarist Graham Coxon, who left in 2002.
Like Springsteen the night before, Damon Albarn waded out into the crowd.
The Prodigy headlined The Other Stage, bringing an electric, high energy set to the festival.
They played while fellow "Essex Boys" Blur headlined the Pyramid Stage.
The Black-Eyed Peas hit the Jazz World Stage – with Fergie dressed for the hot weather.
The Glastonbury police didn't need their riot gear...
