Glastonbury Festival getaway and clean-up begins
Thousands of weary music fans are heading home as Glastonbury Festival has come to an end for another year.
It comes hours after US pop star Olivia Rodrigo headlined the Pyramid Stage and closed the festival at Worthy Farm in Somerset.
The team of volunteers will begin cleaning up the site to prepare the land for a fallow year in 2026. Revellers were urged to take all of their belongings with them and to leave their campsite tidy.
People were encouraged to leave the site between 00:00 and 06:00 BST to get ahead of the queues and avoid the heat, as temperatures are expected to reach up to 31C (88F).
Those beginning their journeys later were advised to cover up with light, airy clothing, carry water and apply sunscreen regularly.

Jenny Packham Resort 2026 Collection
'We just make sure we're ticking the boxes of what people expect from us and want from us,' Jenny Packham says of her resort 2026 collection. What do they want exactly? The designer pauses before answering. 'A wow factor,' she says. That 'wow factor' often comes in the form of a color. This season, Packham embraced vibrant sunset hues and ombré shading—she said she felt inspired by the rare blooms one might find in the jungle or on display at the Chelsea Flower Show: 'We started off with quite some exotic lilies and orchids as inspiration, which have amazing colors.' (Sometimes that interpretation is quite literal: one dress, for example, is detailed with a Slipper Orchid motif, whereas a structured black evening jacket comes embroidered with dahlias. Another gown features a black tulle cape with cascading, petal-like accents.) The 'wow' also comes in the form of embellishments. Packham loves a sequin, a crystal, a bead, and used them liberally throughout this collection: a sparkly floor length gold dress looks like an Oscar came to life; a gradient evening gown that starts with purple rhinestones at the neckline and ends with a rose pink sequin hem feels like something Ariel from The Little Mermaid would wear if she walked a red carpet with her newfound legs. Examine look 20, and you'll see it is similar to the famous lavender Jenny Packham dress Kate Middleton wore to the ARK 10th Anniversary Gala Dinner in June 2011—but in black. 'It doesn't mean that it's over the top. It just means that it's got that power punch,' Packham said. 'It's about walking in the room and everybody thinking, 'That's a great dress.'' Over the past few months, Sarah Jessica Parker wore custom Jenny Packham while promoting And Just Like That in Paris, Sarah Bareillies attended the Tonys in one of her plunging, silver sequin gowns, and Dita Von Teese recently wore a navy peplum dress during a press appearance for her West End show, Diamonds and Dust. Sometimes, it's better not to keep it plain and simple.

Tate McRae Replaces Lady Gaga At No. 1 On A Billboard Chart
Tate McRae's "Just Keep Watching," from the F1 soundtrack, rises to No. 1 on Billboard's Dance ... More Digital Song Sales chart, replacing Lady Gaga's "Abracadabra." LONDON, ENGLAND - JUNE 23: Tate McRae attends the "F1: The Movie" European Premiere at Cineworld Leicester Square on June 23, 2025 in London, England. (Photo by Samir Hussein/WireImage) For weeks before the movie F1 debuted in theaters, the film was promoted by several tunes featured on its star-studded soundtrack. One such single by Tate McRae, a song titled "Just Keep Watching," became a quick success on a handful of Billboard charts shortly before the summer blockbuster arrived. As the Brad Pitt-led project hit theaters on Friday (June 27), "Just Keep Watching" raced up the charts. The track reached No. 1 on one tally for the first time, with McRae replacing one of the biggest pop stars on the planet at the summit. "Just Keep Watching" Hits No. 1 "Just Keep Watching" revs its engines and drives from No. 3 to No. 1 on the Dance Digital Song Sales chart. McRae's most recent single reaches the top spot in its third frame on the ranking of the bestselling tracks in America that Billboard classifies specifically under the dance genre label. Tate McRae Replaces Lady Gaga at No. 1 As McRae rises to No. 1, she replaces Lady Gaga at the top of the Dance Digital Song Sales chart. In the prior frame, "Abracadabra," the most recent single from Gaga's album Mayhem, led the charge for a sixteenth nonconsecutive stint. That track swaps spots with "Just Keep Watching," while Disturbed's 'The Sound of Silence' – the Cyril remix, that is – holds in the runner-up space. Tate McRae's Second Career Winner McRae earns her second career No. 1 as "Just Keep Watching" hits the top of the Dance Digital Song Sales tally. Back in the summer of 2021, she joined producer Regard and Troye Sivan on "You," which spent five frames leading the chart. McRae has only scored four appearances on the Dance Digital Song Sales ranking, and all of them have cracked the top five. In addition to both "You" and "Just Keep Watching," McRae's own "Revolving Door" peaked at No. 5, while "10:35" with Tiësto reached No. 3. "Just Keep Watching" Remains a Dance Smash "Just Keep Watching" is a major win on several of Billboard's dance rankings as it climbs to the No. 1 spot on the Dance Digital Song Sales chart for the first time. The tune also holds atop the Dance Streaming Songs list and is a non-mover at No. 2 on the Hot Dance/Electronic Songs tally, where it has already led before.
