Review: PJ Harvey, Main Stage

Atmosphere: Eerie, not helped by the first rain of the day blowing in mid-set.

High: That head-piece - would put the most ostentatious of mother-of-brides to shame.

Low: Aforementioned rain.

Quote: None.

Verdict: Stellar. You may have noticed the ostrich burger stand on your wanderings - well, at least now we know where the feathers have gone.

PJ Harvey knows how to make an entrance, and with her flamboyant feather-topped hat and a leather-gloved get-up that made Adam Clayton's Glastonbury garb look normal, it was made all the more spectacular.

Luckily, the music was up to scratch, too. Opening with a sucker punch of 'Let England Shake' and 'Words That Maketh Murder', Harvey's set got progressively louder, fiercer and more intense as it progressed, her eerie quiver sending shockwaves of sound across the crowd.

A true individual rock icon in every sense - including fashion.
