Glastonbury Festival has finally returned with thousands travelling to Worthy Farm in Somerset to set up camp and watch their favourite artists perform at the legendary event.
British pop band The 1975, folk star Neil Young and his band the Chrome Hearts, and US pop singer Olivia Rodrigo are topping the bill, and Charli XCX and The Prodigy will be getting people dancing with their iconic hits.
Glastonbury is running from June 25 to June 29 this year with performances from the likes of US rapper Doechii, UK singer Raye and veteran rocker Sir Rod Stewart, who will be playing during the coveted legends slot. Also performing is Irish rap trio Kneecap and US star Gracie Abrams.
Festival-goers will even be relieved to hear there has been a wet weather U-turn and that sunshine is expected over the coming days. Showers had been originally forecast for Worthy Farm in Somerset, with festival goers warned to bring their wellies. However, they have now been advised to bring the sun cream instead.
Smallest Glastonbury in years
Slightly less people are currently queuing outside Worthy Farm today compared to previous years.
Organiser Emily Eavis has said the festival, which has capacity for 210,000 people, has sold “a few thousand less tickets” this year in a bid to avoid overcrowding.

Glastonbury weather warning
Following the recent glum weather after the glorious sunshine we’ve been enjoying, the Met Office has said it’s “set to warm up” again. However, Thursday is believed to bring the highest chance of rain.
They said today: “Heading to Glastonbury? It’s set to warm up as the festival goes on, with Thursday bringing the highest chance of rain.
“Don’t forget the sun cream as there’ll be sunny spells on most days!”
