Glastonbury Festival has officially opened its doors today (Wednesday, June 25) for five days of music, partying, and performances.
With the official lineup starting on Friday, June 27, and lasting until Sunday, June 29, festival goers are arriving today to get set up at Worthy Farm, Somerset.
Around 200,000 revellers are expected to gather at the site in Pilston over the next few days and there is set to be more than 3,000 performances across the festival’s 100 stages and venues.
This year’s headliners include Brat icon Charli XCX, indie-pop band The 1975, Kaiser Chiefs, Jorja Smith, RAYE, Olivia Rodrigo and Rod Stewart.
Other acts include The Script, Snow Patrol, John Fogerty, Neil Young, and a mysterious act titled ‘Patchwork’ as well as some ‘TBA’ slots.
Sadly for Glastonbury lovers, the festival organisers have confirmed that there will be a break next year to allow for the farmland to recover, but it will be back in 2027.
As the first day of the UK festival kicks off, here are some pictures of revellers as they arrive.
