Franz Ferdinand, a band who burst from Britain into a grateful world in 2004, are not a band hamstrung with lack of confidence. But going on stage while Bruce Springsteen was single-handedly re-inventing rock 'n' roll can't have been easy.

But ask anyone who has seen Franz live: this is a band capable to taking hold of any situation, be it echoing arena or diminutive club (they road-tested new album 'Tonight: Franz Ferdinand' in smaller venues earlier in the year).

If Alex Kapranos and his bandmates were miffed at having to rival stadium rock's patron saint, it didn't show.

No mistake, Franz Ferdinand came to turn heads. This headlining Glastonbury Other Stage set was taut and muscular. "Come on, make some noise!" yelled Kapranos after 'The Fallen.'

In the build up to 2009's Glastonbury there were some who feared Bruce Springsteen might not understand what the famed festival's vibe was about.

They worried the man used to packing in stadiums from coast to coast might not connect with the notoriously eclectic Glasto crowd. On Saturday night, Bruce Springsteen proved them wrong the way he knows best; playing a raw, ragged, rousing set of rock 'n' roll.

It was not only Springsteen's first Glastonbury, but one of the first festivals he's ever played. It didn't show.

Classics like 'Badlands' rubbed shoulders with Yes We Can-era cuts like 'Outlaw Pete,' Springsteen a swaggering, sweating preacher.

Wilco has performed at Bonnaroo several times before, but this time was different: this time they returned to the festival's main stage to "open for Bruce Springtseen" Saturday night.

The band kicked off their set with the song 'Wilco,' one of several played from the new album, 'Wilco' (yes, same name), and indulged the audience in old favorites such as 'Company in My Back' and 'At Least That's What You Said.' "If anybody boos us," said ringleader Jeff Tweedy, "we have a built-in excuse. We can just imagine they're yelling for 'Bruuuuuce!!'"
