The final evening of Glastonbury — the UK's biggest music festival — has wrapped up.

From "man of the people" Louis Tomlinson saving football fans' days to Avril Lavigne clearing out the main stage, the festival delivered another huge day.

Here's what you may have missed.

Shania Twain hit with sound issues during Legends slot

Country-pop icon Shania Twain joined the ranks of Dolly Parton and Kylie Minogue by taking on what is considered one of the most prestigious slots of the festival.

The annual Sunday Legends set tends to be filled by iconic, long-standing artists and this year was no different.

Decked out in a black rhinestone cowboy hat and fluffy pink cape, Twain belted out crowd favourites including Man! I Feel Like a Woman! and That Don't Impress Me Much.

She did appear to be plagued by sound issues, however, much like Cyndi Lauper on Saturday and SZA later on Sunday night.

There was some criticism of Twain's vocals online but eagle-eyed viewers suggested there was a problem with her earpiece.

"Hope both Cyndi Lauper and Shania Twain's management kick Glastonbury's butt for the appalling sound issues. Most people sat at home critiquing their vocals have no idea how impossible it is to sing in time and tune when you can hear f***-all in your ear pieces…"

"People need to learn how live music works. Shania Twain was clearly having in-ear issues for the first couple of songs. Fingers in ears and on the battery pack constantly. Third song, it got sorted and she was in tune and in time. But nope, judgments have already been made."

 

Twain has also previously spoken on her voice being affected by a two-decade battle with Lyme disease.

Appearing on The Graham Norton Show last year, the 57-year-old said she visited a neurologist about the change.

"[It's] not actually related to the vocal cords but nerve damage," she said.

"You can hear my raspy, airy, sexy voice now. It's a very different voice."

Louis Tomlinson lugs TV in for Euros watch party

Football fans took some time out of the festival to catch England's match against Slovakia at the Euros, thanks to Louis Tomlinson.

The former One Direction star hooked up a television to a power generator in the campsite after the festival's organisers opted not to show the game.

He was soon surrounded by a crowd keen to catch the action.

In case you were wondering: England scraped in a 2–1 win over Slovakia, with both goals scored during extra time.

Here's what one commenter said on social media:

"Louis is a man of the people for sure! Sharing joy at [Glastonbury] … He's also pretty freaking awesome as a musical artist. Just saying."

But not everyone was watching the football…

Avril Lavigne needed a bigger stage

Avril Lavigne was playing at one side of the venue called Other Stage which, as the name suggests, isn't Glastonbury's main venue.

While still a prestigious spot, it's got a much smaller standing area than the main stage, Pyramid, has.

And the number of the punk-pop rocker's fans caught organisers off guard, with stewards reportedly forced to close the Other Stage's entrance to manage crowd numbers.

The BBC later reported a whopping 70,000 people turned out for her set.

Some criticised the festival organisers for not booking Lavigne on the main stage:

"The Avril Lavigne crowd is a joke… Just taken an entire hour to walk like sardines from one side of the stage to the other. Why the f*** is she not on Pyramid? They keep putting people on the wrong stages. It's unsafe."

"Avril Lavigne having a bigger crowd than Janelle Monae and headline SZA combined. Oh that crowd have let her down bad."
