Check out fresh pictures and footage from Glastonbury, one of the world’s most celebrated music festivals - which opened with an impressive first-time drone show this year.
ADVERTISEMENTThis year’s Glastonbury Festival has opened with hundreds of thousands of festivalgoers descending on Worthy Farm amid a heatwave which experts have warned could be dangerous.
The British Red Cross has urged people to stay safe in the sun and to recognise the risks of dehydration and heat stroke.
However, in true British fashion, the 30° temperatures came to an abrupt end today with revellers enduring rain this morning.
The festival regaled attendees last night with its first-ever opening drone show, which took place ahead of its regular fireworks display.
Worthy Farm’s opening show required 576 drones for a stunning display above the festival grounds, which will welcome music from headliners Dua Lipa, SZA and Coldplay this weekend. They will perform alongside the likes of LCD Soundsystem, PJ Harvey, Little Simz, The National, Justice, The Last Dinner Party, Jessie Ware, and Shania Twain’s legends slot – for which the country-pop singer has said he hopes to arrive on horseback.
