Glastonbury, the 53-year-old, five-day music extravaganza, opens today and thousands of excited revellers have already started heading to Somerset to pitch their tent and get settled, before the real festivities start on Friday.
As usual, this year’s programme is jam-packed full of brilliant acts: there will be appearances from some of the world’s most-famous musicians, such as Dua Lipa, Shania Twain and SZA, legendary bands, such as The Red Hot Chilli Peppers and Coldplay and top DJs such as Jamie Jones, Peggy Gou and Joy Orbison. All in all, there are 100 stages at Glastonbury 2024 with as many as 2000 scheduled acts.
