Queen once performed last in Glasto (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

dido

'queen' is the definition.
(legendary queen of Carthage)

'performed last in glasto' is the wordplay.
'performed' becomes 'did' ('do' can be a synonym of 'perform').
'last in' indicates one should take the final letters.
The last letter of 'glasto' is 'o'.
'did'+'o'='DIDO'

'once' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for dido that I've seen before include "Ancient queen of Carthage" , "Carthaginian queen linked to Aeneas" , "Lover of Aeneas" , "Queen < singer" , "She loved Aeneas" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
