Glastonbury is swinging open its gates for another year with festival-goers ready to enjoy a jam-packed weekend of music and arts. Acts set to grace the Somerset festival's many stage this year include Coldplay, Dua Lipa, SZA, Shania Twain, LCD Soundsystem and Idles to name just a few. Gates to Worthy Farm in Pilton opened up in the early hours of Wednesday, June 26, with hundreds of thousands of music fans piling in to set up camp before three full days of music get underway from Friday (June 28).
Glastonbury-goers found out the full line-up of acts at the start of the month and have been busy planning how to spend their weekend ever since. But there are several slots on the schedule that are yet to be announced.

Each year, Glastonbury organisers like to add a bit of mystery to the mix, leaving a few gaps in the timetable for unannounced acts. Some big names have performed at the festival in such slots, including the likes of Radiohead, Franz Ferdinand, Mumford and Sons and The Last Shadow Puppets. Some acts perform under pseudonyms, such as when the Foo Fighters turned up on the Pyramid Stage last year as 'The Churnups', sending fans into a frenzy as they speculated over the meaning of the name in the run up to the festival.
It’s also not uncommon for artists that are billed on one of the main stages to pop up for an intimat.
