Against the backdrop of a live rendition of The Final Countdown, Michael and Emily Eavis waited with their family and the Glastonbury team for the big green gate to swing open. And then - five minutes earlier than planned - the gates have officially opened to huge cheers.

Glastonbury, the world's largest greenfield music festival, opened its gates on Wednesday to around 200,000 ticket holders who will see performers ranging from Olivia Rodrigo to Rod Stewart and Charli xcx.

If the Glastonbury Festival has been on your list, but you just can't make it across the pond this year, you can still watch it live from the U.S.
