The best photos from Glastonbury 2022 on Friday and Saturday

After a three year hiatus, the world's biggest music festival is back. Hundreds of thousands of people have descended on Somerset for a weekend of tents, tunes, and tipples.

This year's Glastonbury kicked off in a raucous fashion as pop sensation Billie Eilish wowed revellers on the Pyramid Stage on Friday night, with indie outfit Foals producing a great Glasto sets on the Other Stage. Friday highlights also included Little Simz, Phoebe Bridgers, and Bonobo.

Saturday sees Paul McCartney take to the Pyramid Stage in a headline slot. He's joined by Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds, AJ Tracey, and Haim. Megan Thee Stallion - who performed at Parklife earlier this month - headlines the Other Stage, and is supported by Glass Animals and Olivia Rodrigo to name but a few.

The West Holts Stage is topped by Roisin Murphy, and also will feature Caribou and Leon Bridges. Sunday's legends slot will be occupied by Diana Ross, who also performed at the Queen's Jubilee at the start of the month.

With so much to see and do, we've rounded up some of the best pictures which have come out of Worthy Farm from Friday and Saturday this year.
