Florence is a Glastonbury regular, headlining on the main Pyramid stage back in 2015 and famed for songs including Shake It Off, You've Got The Love and Kiss With A Fist. Together, the group performed track Love You Better, before Florence and The Machine's iconic crowdpleaser, Dog Days Are Over. Florence declared: "Do we have any Maccabees super-fans in the audience? Because you definitely have one on stage.' The Maccabees headline slot closed out The Park Stage after a massive weekend – with The Prodigy headlining The Other Stage and Olivia Rodrigo taking to the Pyramid Stage. The weekend has proven to be filled with surprise collaborations – with Olivia Rodrigo bringing out The Cure's Robert Smith during her headline slot. Rod Stewart, who took the Legends slot on Sunday night, reunited with his Faces bandmate – Rolling Stones legend Ronnie Wood – as well as Simply Red's Mick Hucknall and Lulu. DJ Fatboy Slim also surprised fans by bringing out his son, Woody Cook for a performance, who he shares with Radio DJ Zoe Ball. Glastonbury made sure fans knew this weekend would be one full of surprises when Lorde kicked off the festival on Friday with a surprise set – performing her entire new album, Virgin, on stage. This was followed shortly afterwards by confirmation that Lewis Capaldi would be making his Glastonbury return on the Pyramid stage in the mysterious 'Secret Set' slot. Watch Olivia Rodrigo bring out The Cure's Robert Smith for surprise Glastonbury duet as fans praise his 'incredible' voice In honour of this, and in one of the more unexpected performances, fellow Scottish band Franz Ferdinand brought out "The Original Capaldi" for their hit Take Me Out – Doctor Who's Peter Capaldi. Pulp made their comeback to the festival – 30 years since they headlined – after being revealed as the mysterious Patchwork which had been marked for a key spot on the Pyramid stage on Saturday. Haim also had a surprise set on Saturday evening on the Park Stage. However, the festival was dogged with crowding issues, with major stages having to lock off access ahead of major sets. On Saturday alone, this included Charli XCX' s headline slot on the Other Stage, Scissor Sisters' headline slot on the Woodsies Stage, and Kneecap's performance on West Holts. 5 The group reformed this year after a nine-year absence Credit: Getty 5 Florence previously headlined the entire festival in 2015 Credit: Getty
