Hundreds of thousands of people have descended on Worthy Farm in Somerset this weekend to celebrate Glastonbury’s triumphant return, after a three-year absence owing to the pandemic.
More than 3,000 acts are slated to perform in what is the festival’s belated 50th anniversary year. And a number of those artists will take to the stage in a tent named after a Merseyside legend.
Beneath the iconic yellow and blue canopy of the John Peel Stage, rising stars such as Griff, Yungblud and Holly Humberstone will pick up their microphones this weekend. The stage has always been renowned for giving new artists a proving ground, with Mumford and Sons, Florence and the Machine and George Ezra making their breakthroughs in the intimate venue.
