Glastonbury Festival is up and running. After a quiet first day, as the first of the 200,000 visitors got used to the lay of the land, the music began.
Pyramid Stage remains closed until Friday when Squeeze and then Olivia Dean will get things moving ahead of Dua Lipa’s landmark performance. But on Thursday there was still plenty of lesser known – or niche - artistes to entertain the crowds. Suggestions that a less-than-stellar list of acts would lead to a drop in attendance seemed mis-placed as the festival seemed fuller than ever. And there was even a rare weather occurrence: a welcome splash of rain.
“We can be friendly to these unfortunate people in the boats. “It’s demonstrating, the whole festival is, really, that you can get on with your neighbour. And they’re putting all of that into a show. Isn’t that amazing?” There was a drone show and fireworks over the Pyramid Stage on Wednesday to mark the opening of the festival.
