Newly reformed British pop legends The Verve took a sly swipe at Glastonbury organiser Michael Eavis while on stage at the festival on the weekend.
"I want to thank Emily Eavis for asking us to play," he told the audience according to festivalwise.com."I hope her dad realises why he booked us now, I think he was worried we wouldn't be as good as Keane or something. But, no, respect to Keane, respect to all bands."
During the set he also took a swipe at the controversial headliner Jay-Z saying, "A shout out for Jay-Z for putting in a good performance but tonight is rock n roll."
Earlier in the year, Noel Gallagher said "I'm not having hip-hop at Glastonbury, it's wrong."
The band powered through hits including 'Sonnet', 'Bitter Sweet Symphony' and 'Lucky Man' to staggering applause.
