Who: The Dead Weather.

Where and when: Pyramid stage, 5pm Saturday.

Dress code: Jack White sports a top hat with elfin feathers. Alison "Babe Ruthless" Mosshart is vamped up in a T-shirt featuring a snake wrapped around a big egg-shaped thingy.

What happened: Jack White – played here by Johnny Depp's Willy Wonka – and his band of merry musicians, the Kills' Alison Mosshart, Raconteur Jack Lawrence, and Queen of the Stone Age Dean Fertita, returned to Glastonbury after a surprise slot at the Park last year. White was also here in 2008 with the Raconteurs, the gadabout. It's a typically polished show, with White and Mosshart switching singing duties on songs such as You Just Can't Win and Treat Me Like Your Mother. Mosshart's ghostly swagger around the stage is really something, but it's Cap'n Jack at the back that the cameras can't keep their lenses off. Unsurprisingly, he eventually steps out from behind his drumkit to tweedledee away on the Stripesy blues of Will There Be Enough Water? where his guitar solos drift so far away that one begins to wonder if they're having an affair with the previous song. The crowd, though, is generally unmoved. He'll have to come back next year with a new band.
Who's watching: A gathering of Who's On Nexters camped out for the day. And people waiting for Shakira. Waka waka, Jack.

High point: The "analogue fade-out" of the closing Will There Be Enough Water? – (White moving slowly away from the microphone).

Low point: Nobody seems too bothered by the whole thing. Bar-room blues not working on a baking hot afternoon in a field. Who'da thought it?

In a tweet: Another year, another Jack White side project.
