Glastonbury fans branded Nile Rogers and Chic the 'best act they've seen in years' after his set on Sunday, as he led the performers rounding out the festival's final day.
The 1970s icon, 72, known for hits such as Le Freak and Everybody Dance, took to the Pyramid Stage after Rod Stewart 's Legends slot.
But fans were quick to praise Rogers' groove-filled performance, demanding that it should have been one of this year's headliners instead.
Glastonbury returned to Worthy Farm, in Somerset, this year with The 1975, Neil Young and the Chrome Hearts and Olivia Rodrigo headlining.
Taking to the stage on Sunday for the final day of the festival included the likes of Wolf Alice, Snow Patrol and Noah Kahan.
And Fat Boy Slim, real name Norman Quentin Cook, took to Instagram to reveal that his set was his 100th time performing at Glastonbury.
Fat Boy Slim wrote: 'My 100th set. Thanks for having me. Alan Carr tell us where we are…. GLASTONBURY ❤️.'
Meanwhile St. Vincent, real name Annie Clark, brought her All Born Screaming tour to the Woodsies Stage.
'I would like to thank you for hanging in all the way to day four of this festival,' she said to the crowd. 'I'm not sure what kind of trip you're on but I want to be on it too, baby.'
Over on The Other Stage, thousands of people hugged their best friends and chanted 'me and you' as Wolf Alice played friendship anthem Bros.
Pete Doherty also returned to the festival as The Libertines took to the Pyramid Stage for the two o'clock slot, playing Up the Bracket, the title track from their 2002 debut album.
Sir Rod was joined by a trio of veteran superstars during a rousing performance which saw him perform alongside his former Faces bandmate Ronnie Wood, Simply Red's Mick Hucknall and Scottish singer Lulu.
He was also joined by the festival's founder, Sir Michael Eavis, who was wheeled on to the stage by his daughter, organiser Emily Eavis.
Hucknall, 65, was welcomed on stage for a rendition of Simply Red hit If You Don't Know Me By Now.
Rolling back the years, Sir Rod then performed the Faces' 1971 hit Stay With Me while Rolling Stones star Wood, 78, played guitar.
Lulu then made her entrance, wearing an all-white ensemble, to sing Hot Legs alongside Sir Rod and Wood.
After Rod's performance, Rogers took to the stage and Glastonbury viewers were blown away by his set.
Taking to social media, they wrote: 'Nile Rogers at Glastonbury. Just wow, best I've seen this year by a country mile,';
