09:15 In all the Kanye kerfuffle, a lot of revellers missed Suede
And, according to Rupert, that was a big mistake:
Rupert Hawksley: It was a case of Brit pop versus hip hop on Saturday night at Glastonbury. While Kanye West was busy on the Pyramid Stage doing whatever it is that Kanye West does, Suede were rattling through a typically assured set on the John Peel stage.
After too many fallow years, the Brit pop innovators released the well-received Bloodsports in 2013 and songs from that record transferred well i nto this show. It Starts And Ends With You, for example, is already a fan favourite and it sat entirely comfortable alongside early Nineties classics such as Metal Mickey and The Living Dead.
Singer Brett Anderson might be 47, but he is still as lithe and feline as he ever was. His theatrical mannerisms are deliberately affected and tonight they lent a stylised glamour to proceedings.
There is something of the melancholic clown about Anderson, though, which was most noticeable in the quieter moments such as I Don't Know How To Reach You. For all his bravado, one can't help but wonder if he still feels he has something to prove.
And indeed Suede are a band whose sound has not changed drastically over the years. As a result, there was a mid set lull when a series of songs melted into one. Fortunately, though, they have the hits to up the tempo at any moment. Trash prompted the loudest singalong I've heard all weekend and by the time Beautiful Ones jerked into life, any suggestions that we were missing out by swerving Kanye West had been well and truly banished.

09:05 The dust has barely settled over Kanye West's Saturday headline performance
And my God, was it eventful. At times it felt like a rehearsal, such was the sporadic energy possessed by Yeezy on stage. Cranes, abrupt song changes, forgotten lyrics â€" then, of course, there was the small matter of Lee Nelson storming the stage.
In his review, our critic Neil McCormick said it was "as mad, infuriating, daring, electrifying, ridiculous, original and unwi lling to compromise as we perhaps should have expected," and Twitter thought the same:
Kanye at Glasto, dividing opinion like music should. The ego, indulgence, hits, misses, mishaps, cringe + brilliance of a rock n roll band.

09:00 Welcome to the Telegraph's Glastonbury live blog
Good morning! Hayden East and Siobhan Palmer here, assuming the live blogging mantle once again to see you through Sunday morning and afternoon. Glastonbury's final day will see Patti Smith, Lionel Richie and The Who battling it out to prove who is the grooviest golden oldie, but before that, we have the Dalai Lama's exploration of Worthy Farm at around 9:30. After last night's injection of swag (thanks again, Kanye), it's time for something more spiritual. Stay tuned!
