Thousands arrived to set up camp for the first day of Glastonbury yesterday.
The festival opened at 10pm yesterday with a theatre and circus act set in the Pyramid Arena.
It showcased acrobatic and circus performances, as well as a fireworks display.
But there is some good news for revellers later this week.
Temperatures are set to soar by the weekend, with highs of 30C.
While the festival is best known for its music, revellers can enjoy the range of stalls, set up their tents and explore the grounds in the meantime before the main performances kick off on Friday.
The weather on Thursday should improve as the rest of the festival is set to be mostly dry and mild, with temperatures in the low 20s.
Met Office forecaster Paul Gundersen said: "Elsewhere through Thursday, rain will move eastwards across the UK, clearing to showers, with some sunny spells breaking through at times."
The Met Office website has forecast highs of 22C around 2pm, before dipping into the high teens in the evening.
As the music festival kicks off, attendees can soak up the warmer temperatures as it reaches 24C by 4pm on Friday.
When opening headliner The 1975 take to the stage at 10pm, temperatures still remain mild at 18C.
Gundersen added: "Friday will start dry in the east, with rain moving in from the west, becoming showery later."
