Richard Cossins
Absolutely outstanding. I had never seen the Kings of Leon play live let alone play in front of 100000 people at Glastonbury 08. They literally blew me away!

Wilko
Biblical performance i am still in awe of that performance 6 days on. Without saying much they engaged the audience in a way not even witchcraft could conjure up. Very Special indeed

Martha Baumforth Leadbetter
absolutely amazing i just watched it back and it gave me shivers i was at the front of the stage and the atmosphere was electric. their perfomance was flawless and elating!

Pete Williams
I CANNOT believe that although the name 'Kings of Leon' was not completely unfamiliar to me I had yet to experience their music. This set at Glastonbury absolutely blew me away and rates as one of the highlights of the festival

Michael Conaboy
I have seen the Kings of Leon three times now and everytime they get better. That is not to say they are now at the best they could be, this will probably come after their fourth album (near certain success!) This will push them on to put into their act what is missing... the confidence of knowing they are as good as everyone else thinks they are.

Bridgeee
Best act all weekend.I went to listen to good tunes,not loads of inane banter and thats what they delivered.Awesome!!!

Buck
They might not have been the most interactive band of the weekend,but there set was awesome and they diserved more than the three stars Q gave them.

Vicky Rose
Friday was the 2nd time I've seen Kings of Leon live and they just get better and better! They should have headlined Reading last year because they blew Razorlight out of the water. And they were definately the right choice of headliner for Glastonbury this year! I'd love to see them again :)

Jay Beckett
Waited to see the Kings of leon for ages and they went down for me as the best performance at glasto by far! absolutely Awesome set by one of the best bands in the world!

Graham Wood
Awesome !!!!Out of this worldLoved the performance at Glastonbury My first experience of the Kings !Thank you

Ray Mears
They were brilliant! 5 hours spent waiting at the steaming, cramped front well spent! Such great musicians, unique music and fantastic live performance. What's everyone saying about them being arrogant and not saying enough? Kings of Leon are souly about the music and an amazing band! Should have been headlining! Ciao x

matthew herterich

Matt Solomon
i was there friday night at the front of the pyramid stage and it was amazing! The best performance i have ever seen. already started to look the next time there playing in the uk.

Phil Burnell
Was at Glastonbury 2008 and Kings of Leon were out of this world and just rocked the place to its foundations!! Jay-z was spot on (not my cup of tea) but great moment when he opened with wonderwall!!
