It’s official: Glastonbury 2023 is upon us and Worthy Farm’s gates are now open.

There are a number of huge names performing at the Pyramid stage and across the map over the next few days, from Lizzo to Lewis Capaldi, headliners Elton John, Guns N’ Roses and Arctic Monkeys (that is – should Alex Turner recover from laryngitis), plus a secret act whose identity has now been confirmed.

This year’s festival takes place from today (June 21) and runs through to Sunday June 25, with festivalgoers hoping that the weather stays nice and dry for the occasion.
