The Glastonbury 2022 Festival is underway, with music fans from around the world flocking to Worthy Farm in Somerset, England.
This year’s festival is led by Gen-Z pop star Billy Isle, Beatles legend Sir Paul McCartney and American rapper Kendrick Lamar, and Diana Ross takes over the traditional Legends slot.
McCartney is giving a pre-festival concert in Somerset tonight, with tickets for the show with a capacity of 800 people sold out in less than an hour.

Worthy Farm is buzzing with rumors of who might show up to play a secret set this weekend.

There are some serious allegations that Harry Styles, who has just played a show in Dublin, could join Billy Isle tonight as she becomes the youngest solo artist to lead Glastonbury.
George Ezra looked like a dead certificate until he had to retire from a Danish festival due to a “nasty attack” of laryngitis – we’ll see if the Gold Rush Kid will reach his hearing slot this weekend. Ollie Alexander looks like another guest guarantee with the Pet Shop Boys on Sunday, given that he has his own set like Years & Years just before …

Libertines open the Second Stage
Hello! I’m taking over the blog live until the end of today, let’s go!
The libertines are moving to the Other Stage at the moment for what will undoubtedly be a typically boisterous set with Pete Doherty, Carl Barratt and others. The band recently announced a celebration for the 20th anniversary of their debut album Up the Bracket, so I’m sure we’ll get a lot of performances of tracks from this incendiary record.
