Eavis: 'Glastonbury can't get any better'

Glastonbury organiser Michael Eavis has claimed that the festival can't get any better than this year.

Eavis told press that this year's headliners - Neil Young, Bruce Springsteen and Blur - were the best he had ever seen.

"I've always said this, but this really must be the best one ever, surely?" he said. "Do you believe me? Having Neil Young, who I've been waiting for for 39 years, and Bruce Springsteen just appear out of the blue - and of course Blur tonight - we've got three major, major headliners.

"Neil Young pleased all the old hippie types and Springsteen pleased everyone else. He did a hell of a show, what energy he has at 58 years of age is amazing. What a show! It was probably the best show he's done in his life. What a starting point, and you have everything else as well, of course!"

Speaking about next year's 40th anniversary, Eavis added: "We've got three or four headliners lining up for next year, but seriously we will not do any better than what we got this year.

"40 years is not bad going, is it? We've got some headliners who haven't played for a few years and some who have never played here. I'm not saying names, it will be the same old guessing game.

"But they're all on the phone at the moment so it will be special, but it will not be better than this year, it was just fantastic!"
