Veteran festivalgoers say event is 'for everybody, all ages' – with onstage lineup also on the older side this year.

“There’s a real excitement in the air,” he said. “I mean, how many little tea shops have thousands of people walking past dressed in all sorts of bits and pieces.” Green, attending her 20th Glastonbury, said she enjoyed the “very much more relaxed” feel to parts of the Somerset festival, as well as the variety of food and music on offer. “There are no other cream tea stalls – we’ve been looking for this one,” she said, sipping from a china cup. This year it is 45 years and two months, even with Eilish, although that is down slightly on the average age of 49 when the festival last went ahead in 2019. “It’s a festival for everybody, all ages,” said Karen Kelsall, 62.

Glastonbury 2022 looks set to be big.

Taylor Swift was originally meant to headline Glastonbury 2020, along with Sir Paul McCartney and Kendrick Lamar, however the festival was cancelled due to ...

Eavis said: “I can’t afford them at the moment! Speaking to the BBC in 2016, the star explained that he had “never been asked” to do the festival. But they said the other day that they really want to do it and if they don’t do it before they die they’ll go to hell.” It seems every year the band are expected to be in the lineup, but never make an appearance. The band was rumoured to play in 2020 before the lineup was announced, but it is unlikely they will ever get to Worthy Farm. Another band that was rumoured to be on the 2020 lineup, Fleetwood Mac, have never played at Glastonbury.

Taylor Swift was on the Glastonbury line-up a few years ago before Covid ruined all our plans, but she won't be taking to the Pyramid stage anytime soon.

Love Island Love Island Love Island

Glastonbury 2022 kicks off today, with performances from Billie Eilish, Foals, Sam Fender, Phoebe Bridgers, Wolf Alice, Little Simz, Wet Leg and more.

PYRAMID STAGE With its own dedicated channel on iPlayer, the broadcaster will be streaming a number of sets across the weekend, from the festival’s five main stages. You can still watch a big swathe of the action thanks to the BBC’s live coverage of the festival.

Billie Eilish will become the youngest ever Glastonbury solo headliner when she takes to the Pyramid Stage tonight.

Then to the dark and eerie synth bloops of “ilomilo”. A setlist chiselled into quicksilver by Zeus and carried to the stage by a choir of winged roadies. I didn’t manage to get tickets, I was close.” Glastonbury is where musical history is made and cultural colossi are crowned on a near-annual basis. Actually, it looks like kinesiology therapeutic (KT) tape, which can be used to try and help prevent and treat shin splints. A generation’s prejudices and expectations overturned like a flick of dust off the shoulder.

It is wild and mucky, but it's wonderful to be back at Worthy Farm as the festival returns for its 50th anniversary following a two-year delay.

Her set on the Other stage in 2019 was superb, energetic and exciting – since then, she has conquered the pop world, broken industry records, and become Gen-Z’s most prominent and positive role model. With another few years and a slot later into the night and darkness, they will surely deserve to be headliners. How wonderful it is to be back, though, as the festival returns for its 50th anniversary, delayed two years.

America's biggest girl group have a nostalgic '90s dance party for their Glastonbury set.

All in all it made for a pretty sweet nostalgia trip, but we could have done without so many DJ dance break detours and distractions. The unique, nasal delivery of T-Boz’s iconic verses is spot-on, and still commendable after 18 years. While we await their arrival on stage, hypeman-meets-DJ hybrid plays turn-up ‘90s hip-hop tracks to get us in the mood.

The Bristolians have been the cult indie favourites at the heart of the local music scene for years, and tonight they're joining a stage that's seen Pete ...

Performing on The Other Stage is no mean feat. Idles take to the stage tonight (June 24) after Supergrass. Punk rock favourites Idles have told Somerset Live that playing Glastonbury 2022 is a "dream come true."

IDLES have returned to Glastonbury after their triumphant 2019 Park set – check out the NME review of their Other Stage slot here.

It’s another special moment (Talbot alters one lyric to “my best friend is a Ukrainian“, to the delight of the dancing punters), though Bowen fares less well than he did in 2019 crowdsurfing-wise: this time, he’s sucked into the mosh and his mic gets disconnected, leaving the guitarist seeming frustrated when he eventually clambers back on stage. you make us feel loved”. Glastonbury certainly loves IDLES. Could the Pyramid beckon the next time they descend on Worthy Farm? They’ve certainly done their chances of landing an even bigger slot in the future no harm today. Since then, two further LPs – 2020’s ‘Ultra Mono’ and November’s ‘Crawler’ – have arrived, and they’ve been welcomed back to Worthy Farm with open arms this year for a fittingly major slot on The Other Stage.

Sam Fender, St Vincent, Phoebe Bridgers and Idles have been rocking the festival, and now the youngest ever headliner takes to the main stage – follow along ...

Two songs left, Eilish sadly announces, and the first one of those is Bad Guy – probably Eilish’s biggest banger, the track that made her a superstar. The entire floor is shaking here, it’s a monumental finale, and Eilish ends it by sprinting furiously around the Pyramid stage before collapsing to the floor. They’ve always seemed to blur the line between ice cool and pastich, and none more so tonight than when they break into a medley of Miserlou by Dick Dale and Apache by Incredible Bongo Band, like the Pulp Fiction band they were born to be. Park stage Time to psych out on the Park, where Khruangbin are prowling the stage like extras from a Robert Rodriguez film, matching black wigs and outfits gleaming. She comes out swinging, with most of her most energetic and swaggersome tunes upfront, striding across the West Holts stage in a hat and sunglasses, treating us to some of the bassiest sound I’ve heard so far at this festival. 2001 also showcases a Foals strength, which is properly understanding the propulsion of dance music: In Degrees, while sung out of tune in its early section, really gets at the relentlessness of techno. Despite the presence of her five-piece band, Little Simz looks quite alone up there, strutting that giant stage (except when she invites Cleo Sol up there for Woman and Selfish, both of which get the crowd swaying. The sliver of daylight between 2am and My Number, played one after another, is as thin as the precision lasers being fired around the site: they’re both similarly taut and white-funky, fussing around with pretty little circular guitar riffs. The turning point of the set comes during the brilliant Standing Ovation when Simz takes off her sunglasses and talks right to us about “The motivational speakers and the honest Black leaders, the divine healers, the every day low-paid believers, the overachievers in the shadow of the gatekeepers.” It gave me goosebumps. “I stepped out here and felt so welcome,” she says, calling out her family in the crowd. It gives the show a strange flow, getting slower as it goes along, and some of the interludes feel a bit laboured in this setting. “Allow me to pick up where I left off,” snarls Little Simz at the beginning of her menacing, enlivening banger Offence - but she’s come far since she first played Glastonbury. Her latest album, Sometimes I Might be Introvert - from which much of this set is drawn - was a giant pandemic hit.

The Pyramid stage's youngest ever headliner looks entirely at home, giving an imperious, hugely engaging performance.

By the time she ends with Happier Than Ever’s slowly-building title track – its furiously angry crescendo given an extra layer of theatricality by the sheer quantity of pyrotechnics exploding over the stage – her performance doesn’t just seem like a musical shift for Glastonbury, but a triumph as well. Whether that’s evidence that Glastonbury’s audience is skewing younger, or that Glastonbury is becoming more pop-facing in the artists it books, or that Eilish is considered of a slightly different stripe to her peers, is an interesting question. But in 2022, the appearance of Billie Eilish’s name at the top of the bill passed without comment.

Hello from Glastonbury! This week's newsletter is being written from the Guardian's cabin at Worthy Farm, where we'll be covering the festival in exhaustive ...

Each day we’ll have a liveblog stuffed full of news, reviews, pictures, videos and all manner of entertaining ephemera. But the good thing about Glastonbury is that it’s pretty easy to vicariously enjoy the festival from wherever you are. Festival-goers of every stripe are here – ravers, metalheads, poptimists, jazz aficionados, glamorous hospitality hangers-on, lads in SuperDry T-shirts throwing each other in the air for some reason – all drawn together by the promise of revelry, community and some pretty spectacular music.

Sam Fender finally makes his long-awaited debut at Glastonbury Festival on the Pyramid Stage – and it's a miraculous sunset crowdpleaser.

Small talk is minimal, because Fender and his band know all the crowd want to do is sing. You can tell Fender and his band know this, not taking any chances to stray beyond their usual setlist from the ‘Seventeen Going Under’ tour – but why would they? “Hopefully we’ll get a chance to return next year,” he wrote at the time, before, well, nobody did that until now.

Fender is cemented as a major British star with a performance of huge anger and emotional power – with Seventeen Going Under one of the greatest songs this ...

But Fender lays out a politically biting, emotionally fortified British version of Springsteen’s songcraft that absolutely matches him – and actually, on home turf in the vale of Avalon, outclasses him. An opening section characterised by the big-hearted mood of Getting Started, where tough times are cast in a forward-facing, optimistic light, turns sour on Spice and Howdon Aldi Death Queue, a pair of songs with a truly nihilistic bent: punk guitar notes can’t seem to break out of a straight line and Fender is ranting on the mic. And so it proves for Sam Fender, the Tyneside singer-songwriter who occupies a slot once pencilled in for US rapper Doja Cat, who pulled out due to tonsil surgery.

Shape-shifting musical polymath St. Vincent, AKA Annie Clark, returned to Pilton for her funnest Glasto set yet.

“Glastonbury, I would like to propose a toast to all of us,” she said. Annie last played Worthy Farm in 2014 and she alluded to her veteran status when waving goodbye. “Daddy’s home y’all!”

The best festival in the world returns with a huge lineup, new names and the usual eclectic vibes throughout. Here's what's going down...

His music isn't exactly steeped in the psychedelic ciders or 12th-dimensional mindset of this mystic vale. Rather, it's radio-targeted, entry level guitar rock, ...

For now, though, he’s catering to the streaming masses, so it’s quickly back to the gentle rock anthems. “The Borders” spends a pleasant couple of minutes as Tom Petty drivetime pop, before Fender tests the waters with a scratchy new wave guitar solo, a burst of pure rock abrasion quickly Sudocremed with a glossy Eighties saxophone solo from a chap in a bucket hat and Newcastle United shirt. “Me and the boys have never been here before,” Sam Fender admits, and perhaps three or four members of his field-filling Pyramid Stage audience might be surprised.

Despite a fairweather crowd, Little Simz delivers finesse with a West Holts headline set that draws heavily on 'Sometimes I Might Be Introvert'

“See you next time on the Pyramid!” she waves, slipping happily into the night. “It’s a people’s paradise,” beams one woman standing next to NME, gazing around her peers in awe. While the Pyramid Stage fills for Billie Eilish’s high-octane energy, Little Simz is bringing a more subtle kind of catharsis.

Little Simz's raw musicality, accompanied by her bittersweet, confessional lyrics, elevates the musician's status to 21st-century storyteller and poet.

Below her in the packed crowd, people jostle for a glimpse of Glastonbury’s new queen. Emblazoned on the back of her seemingly demure black shirt is a demonic horned creature. Captivating a raptuorous crowd with her seductive blend of grime, funk and soul, the north-London native confirms her star status.

Sam Fender and his band headlined the Pyramid Stage in front of a huge crowd at Glastonbury on Friday night.

Me and the boys have never been here before; we’ve never been here as punters, we’ve never played here and we’re doing that all in one day, which is the most f**king crazy experience.” After opening with the rousing double header of Will We Talk and Getting Started. Sam took the time to tell his large and captive audience just what being at Glastonbury meant to all of them. Glastonbury itself had been left in the shadows since then, before making at a barnstorming return for 2022 over the last few days.

One of the breakthrough artists of the pandemic era speaks out on politics and brings Arlo Parks to the stage.

Bridgers takes a bow with a little help from her friend Arlo Parks, bringing the British singer-songwriter on stage for a sweet rendition of ‘Graceland Too’. “This is so cool, so surreal,” Bridgers says afterwards, but her smile quickly fades as she reminds the crowd of the bigger issues happening outside our idyllic Glastonbury bubble. As she performs, the screen behind her is adorned by the animation of a pop-up picture book turning its pages with each song. This set to a packed John Peel tent feels like a victory lap for this era of her career – a chance to – after many, many lockdowns – bask in its brilliance with those who sent it stratospheric.
