Thousands of campers are descending upon Glastonbury today in the hope of claiming a prime spot as the world-famous UK festival opens its gates for its 51st year.
Festival-goers could experience travel disruption as they make their way to Pilton in Somerset due to wet weather, but the skies are due to clear across Worthy Farm as the music kicks off on Friday.
This year will see world-class music stars play across the 900-acre festival, which will run until Sunday, as well as speeches by politicians, film screenings, theatre and circus performances and more.
Arctic Monkeys will top the bill on Friday night on the Pyramid Stage, which will mark their third time headlining the festival, having previously done so in 2007 and 2013.
However, their slot has been thrown into question after the band had to cancel their Dublin show at the last minute due to their frontman Alex Turner suffering from acute laryngitis.
Saturday night will see Guns N' Roses headline. Lizzo will play immediately before and has joint headline billing on the line-up poster.
However, the acts closing the Pyramid Stage throughout the festival will be all-male.
Co-organiser Emily Eavis told the BBC that she had aimed for gender balance and this year they had a female headliner but "she unfortunately had to pull out".
Elton John's headline slot on Sunday night is expected to draw large crowds, as it marks the end of his scheduled farewell tour dates in the UK.
Yusuf/Cat Stevens will perform during the teatime legends slot on Sunday afternoon, followed by Blondie.
Also on the bill across the weekend are Irish acts Dermot Kennedy, The Murder Capital and CMAT, who will join the likes of Christine and the Queens, Lana Del Rey, Lewis Capaldi and Lil Nas X.
Eurovision winners Maneskin will make their debut at the festival, as will Brits Rising Star Award winners Flo.
Friday's main stage also has a mystery band listed as the 'The Churnups' set to perform before Arctic Monkeys and Royal Blood, which has been rumoured to actually be the Foo Fighters.
Organisers have urged festival-goers not to bring a number of items, with disposable vapes top on the list, as they "pollute the environment and can be hazardous at waste centres".
Gazebos, non-biodegradable body glitter, disposable wipes, knives and anything made of glass are also all on the 'what not to bring' list this year.
