Glastonbury 2003
Noel Gallagher relives Glasto
Last updated 28 June 2003

Noel at Glastonbury with girlfriend Sara McDonald

Oasis are no strangers to Glastonbury, and there were rumours that Noel Gallagher was going to make an appearance on stage this year, even though he's not on the bill.

Noel did turn up to the festival with girlfriend Sara McDonald, but he told Radio 1 he was just there to watch:

"We could start a rumour if you want, I mean, I've been spreading rumours around that I'm playing everywhere. But I'm not going to be doing anything. I'm going to be heckling and clapping bands that are good."

Noel says appearing at Glastonbury is something he'd definitely like to do again, although he admits the crowd are so far away it can feel a bit lonely:

"There's five people in the band, and it's rare that the five of us would agree on anything. But I'd love to do it, because the best slot on the bill is second to the headlining band because you get that bit where the sun's going down, and that's probably the most magical."

"When you get out there, and they say there's 100,000 people there, but you can't see anyone, really, because the crowd is so far away, and it's almost like you're playing to yourself."
