The Verve

The Verve

Speaking to 6Music, Emily Eavis said "I really think it'll be an epic end to the festival." She was right, The Verve's return to Glastonbury was a poignant sign off for 2008.

Great return for the Verve, Perfect way to finish Glastonbury 08. Couldn't have been any better

Mark Purser
A fantastic set - not only an incredible soundscape produced by just a 4-member band, but Richard Ashcroft's live vocal performance was stunning - put many more recent performers to shame (Lily, Amy - take a lesson)

Phil
The Verve were the best live band ever to perform at Glastonbury period. The out rocked anyone, thier live set was so outstanding and awesome that everyone is talking about it, I think the whole counrty happened to be in front of the TV on Sunday nite, even me boss was talking about it, I wish I had have been in the crowd. BEST LIVE ACT / SET EVER SEEN. GLASTO 2008 will be remembered for a long, long time. Lets rock and roll, pick up ur guitars. Bitter sweet symphony, slave to the money then we die.................and Richard Ashcroft knows it.
