Glastonbury 2023 is well underway, with the iconic music festival going full steam ahead at Worthy Farm in Somerset.
The live music on the main stages began on Friday (23 June), but ticket-holders have been entering the site since the gates were opened by co-organiser Emily Eavis at 8am on Wednesday (21 June).
This year’s festival welcomes huge acts including Arctic Monkeys, Lizzo, Guns n’ Roses, Lana Del Rey and Elton John.

While music is the main attraction at Glastonbury, the Somerset festival has plenty on offer for art-lovers too, not least by the campers themselves.
Every year, hundreds of festival-goers bring along flags to the campsite.
There are logistical reasons – for example, it’s a lot easier to find your tent in the night if there’s a ginormous picture of Harry Styles flying above it – but the tradition also makes for some great flag-spotting.
From quirky to funny, weird to political,here are some of the best flags we’ve seen at Glastonbury so far…
