Rock band Idles led the Glastonbury crowd in chanting 'f*** the king' as the festival turned political on Friday night.
The band's vocalist Joe Talbot also sang an 'anti-Farage song' while a small blow-up boat surfed the crowd in a pro-immigration protest.
Idles' politically-charged performance was just one of a number of statements made during the third day of the festival in Somerset.
Blur frontman Damon Albarn discussed Gaza and suggested Joe Biden was too old to be president during his surprise appearance at Worthy Farm.
It came as Welsh singer Charlotte Church also sang 'free Palestine' and wore a keffiyeh as she led an improvised number with the audience.

Albarn came on stage to accompany indie band Bombay Bicycle Club for their song Heaven, on which he features for their latest album.
He was met with cheers of approval by a crowd of thousands as he made three political statements.
'It's very nice to be here thank you - thank you to Jack and everybody,' Albarn said.
'Three things - you have to show me how you feel about it - are you pro Palestine? Do you feel that's an unfair war?
'The importance of voting next week - I don't blame you for being ambivalent about that, but it's still really important.
'And thirdly - maybe it's time we stopped putting octogenarians in charge of the whole world?'
The latter appeared to be a reference to the 81-year-old Mr Biden, who has faced fierce criticism over his performance in a debate against Donald Trump.
Meanwhile Charlotte Church sang 'free Palestine' with a crowd of hundreds as she led an improvised number with the audience during an intimate and politically charged appearance at Glastonbury Festival.

The Welsh singer's performance at Worthy Farm comes months after she said police had to check on her because her safety and that of her family has been threatened after she took part in a pro-Palestine march in London.
The 38-year-old, who strongly denied claims of antisemitism at the time and voiced her support for Jewish people, joined Billy Bragg's Radical Round Up at Worthy Farm's Left Field stage on Friday.
Wearing a long red dress, Church also had a keffiyeh, a traditional Arab headdress which has become a symbol of Palestine, over her shoulder.
'Hiya babes - lots of love from Wales my darlings,' Church said as she greeted the crowd.
'I sort of want to give you the mic today... there's so much untapped singing potential in you guys which we're going to explore.'
Church told the crowd she would lead them in collaborative vocal improvisation, seeing her improvise lyrics over a chorus of humming from the audience.
'It's Friday at Glastonbury, all the adventures you're going to have and the things you'll see, music, dance and sing,' Church's improvisation began.
'The spirit of expression... and now you can say that you performed at Glastonbury, sing it to me now.'

The song ended with Church singing: 'And I'm going to give some love and feeling to Palestine.
'To all the people and all the mothers and the children - we are thinking of you, we carry you in our hearts.
'Free free Palestine, free free Palestine, free free Palestine, free Palestine.'
Festival organiser Emily Eavis joined seven minutes of silence calling for peace at the Pyramid Stage.
She rang a gong to mark the start of the period of silence and also shared a message of 'unconditional love' in front of a crowd dotted with over a dozen Palestinian flags.
The moment of silence at Worthy Farm's headline stage was devised and led by Serbian conceptual artist Marina Abramovic - who called on the crowd to 'be present'.
'When (Sir) Michael (Eavis) and Emily invited me to come here to the Pyramid Stage at the most important music festival in the entire world I was terrified and I was honoured,' the 77-year-old artist told the crowd.

'What I'm proposing is something never done in any of the festivals for music's entire history - I'm proposing you seven minutes of silence.
'The world is in a really s****** place... we can actually all together give unconditional love to each other... we can change the world.'
Only noise from other stages nearby could be heard from the crowd during the silence, which ended with cheers as Abramovic thanked the audience.
Elsewhere on Friday, pathways to the West Holts stage were closed off while pop group Sugababes performed due to the number of people who had arrived for their set.
A sign read 'WEST HOLTS FULL please seek alternative' as festival-goers were redirected by staff wearing hi-vis jackets.
