Glastonbury Festival, one of the world’s most celebrated music festivals, has kicked off with a bang, literally. The festival, held at Worthy Farm, welcomed hundreds of thousands of eager attendees amidst a scorching heatwave. Experts have warned festivalgoers of the potential dangers of dehydration and heat stroke, prompting the British Red Cross to urge everyone to stay safe in the sun. However, true to British weather, the initial 30° temperatures were abruptly replaced by rain this morning.
Despite the weather shift, the festival opened with a spectacular first-ever drone show. The show, held before the traditional fireworks display, involved 576 drones creating a stunning visual spectacle above the festival grounds.
This year’s Glastonbury boasts an impressive lineup, with headliners including Dua Lipa, SZA, and Coldplay taking the stage throughout the weekend. They will be joined by a diverse array of artists such as LCD Soundsystem, PJ Harvey, Little Simz, The National, Justice, The Last Dinner Party, Jessie Ware, and country-pop legend Shania Twain, who plans to make a grand entrance on horseback.
With a mix of incredible music, stunning visuals, and even a touch of British weather, Glastonbury Festival has certainly started with a memorable bang. Stay tuned for more updates on the festival and its incredible performances.
