Glastonbury 2023 is almost upon us, with the music festival set to open its gates on Wednesday (21 June).

Festivalgoers are preparing to watch this year’s headline acts Arctic Monkeys, Guns N’ Roses and Elton John, at the annual event at Worthy Farm, Somerset. Other acts on the line-up include Lizzo, Lana Del Rey, Lewis Capaldi, Texas and Kelis.

The gates to the festival will open at 8am on Wednesday 21 June. Revellers are undoubtedly refreshing their weather apps to see what they can expect across the five days.

Weather experts are providing regular updates on the current forecasts for Pilton, Somerset. After a downpour of rain on Tuesday (20 June) morning – a blessing to campers pitching tents when the festival begins – it currently looks like it will be a mostly dry affair.
