Words like ‘**successful**’ and ‘**brilliant**’ seem to be an **understatement** to describe the astonishing action-packed weekend, so people are instead describing their experiences with speechless murmurs and smiles. Bands such as [The Who](https://blog.flametreepublishing.com/classic-rock-bands/?Tag=The+Who) exploded the stage as **thousands of fans** gathered to hear them play. It seems as if every year the festival becomes more and more **picturesque** and substantial with the huge amounts of people, events and bands performing. Glastonbury Festival 2015 started on Wednesday 24th June and soared into the three-night weekend of highly **electric performances** by a variety of artists from around the world and from all different genres of music. Full weekend tickets costing around **£225** were sold out as of last year. Early this morning people are heading back to society and their work-life **raving** about this year’s Glastonbury. Some of the most-talked-about moments during the festival include **Florence + The Machine’s** adventurous crowd involvement, [**Kanye West’s** performance to Queen’s Bohemian Rhapsody](http://www.people.com/article/kanye-west-bohemian-rhapsody-glastonbury), the **Dalai Lama’s** 80th [birthday appearance](http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/watch-patti-smith-bring-out-dalai-lama-at-glastonbury-20150628) and speech, **Mary J. Blige’s** miraculous rain impromptu, Lionel Richie’s expressive reactions, and the last act, The Who, [performing their ageless rocking hits](http://www.theguardian.com/music/2015/jun/29/florence-machine-the-who-alexis-petridis-glastonbury-2015-roundup).  Speaking of **The Who**, their last performance at Glastonbury was back in 2007 when they closed the festival with their Sunday night performance. The news of [The Who ](https://blog.flametreepublishing.com/classic-rock-bands/?Tag=The+Who)in 2007 was a high excitement factor and [selling point for the festival](http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-459115/Glastonbury-2007-line-unveiled.html). After The Who’s confirmation to close the festival again this year, they became an **instant headliner**. Unsurprisingly, they continue to grasp the attention of all maturities, as they will not hit an age that will [slow them down](http://www.people.com/article/kanye-west-bohemian-rhapsody-glastonbury]). As well as having the honour to perform again at Glastonbury, The Who used this performance to celebrate their **50th year** of an [incredible music career](http://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/music/festivals/glastonbury-2015-the-who-confirmed-as-sunday-night-headliners-10227832.html). With loads of energy, they performed some of their greatest hits: **Who Are You**, The Seeker, **Pictures of Lily**, and Behind Blue Eyes. The Who couldn’t have been a better selection to end this year’s festival: they represent the **great tradition**, the great history and the great bands that are involved in the biggest festival in Europe.
