The Highlight of the festival for me! They were incredible..... Only band that really got the pyramid stage crowd jumping like maniacs! Gracias Manu!

Manu Chao was my Glastonbury 2008 highlight, as the sun was going down over the Pyramid stage, this amazing latino, punky, ska sound filled the warm Somerset air getting everyone up and dancing. A great way to start what turned out to be an amazing Saturday night line up with the incredible Jay-Z headlining.

I saw Manu Chao at Glastonbury on the Pyramid Stage. It was amazing, I now have a new favourite band! I had heard them once before on the radio but this is a band you really have to see live. I have never seen a live act perform with as much passion and energy, it was fantastic!

Amazing performance! Manu Chao is the best to energise the crowd, perfect choice for the last performance on Sunday!! Big shame he has been stopped at 00.00 :-(

For me the best act at Glastonbury 2008 - huge crowd all dancing and jumping around. You could tell that a number of people didn't know the music but within 3 songs they were dancing crazily with everyone else. The sun was setting over the Pyramid stage and was my absolute weekend highlight! I suspect album sales will fly after this perfomance!

My highlight of Glastonbury this year! The atmosphere this incredible band created amongst the crowd was amazing and I'm glad to have been a part of such a lively party.
