Easy, Glastonbury is best festival. I still go to numerous gigs each and every year (40 plus last year) and have loads of favourites. Queen at Wembley was a real highlight though.

I'm sure I went to some great Glastonbury's, after Battle of the Beanfield and before gentrification, but:-

Never done a big festival, and aside from individual gigs the highlight has to be Sleeper, Radiohead, Cranberries and REM on a stinking hot day at MK Bowl in '95.

I was there too, a long, but enjoyable day, ended up sleeping in car after breaking down.

Glasto 1992 - Tom Jones was the special guest and he was probably the very best live show I've ever seen:-
