Springsteen costs Glasto £3,000 over curfew breach

Bruce Springsteen cost Glastonbury boss Michael Eavis £3,000 (€3,500) when his set breached a curfew by just nine minutes – but the farmer still declared the festival “the best ever” today.

Eavis praised The Boss’s stamina at the age of 58 after he played for two hours and 40 minutes, finishing just before 12.40am. But the mammoth turn last night put the rocker beyond the watershed, Eavis said.
