    I'm at PinkPantheress at Woodsies Stage where it is jam-packed as far as I can see.

    It comes after she cancelled the first set she was due to play on Thursday.

    The crowd is looking forward to hearing pop hits from her first album To Hell with It, like Just For Me and I Must Apologise, as well as hits from her latest album Fancy That, released last month, including the viral song Illegal.

    Yes, we’re all buzzing to see Doechii tomorrow night. But before that, another Floridian rapper is just taking to the stage.

    Denzel Curry is on West Holts stage, where he told me he’ll be bringing “old stuff, new stuff and a lot of energy”.

    “Every time I play in the UK, they always go crazy for me,” he says.

    With Doechii (who Denzel describes as “hella cool”) also on the line-up, is it fair to say Floridian rap is having a moment?

    “I think it’s more that people have finally caught on to how talented and great we Floridian rappers are,” he says. “The people coming to see us are here to stay.”

    Just before the end of their set, Blossoms frontman Tom Ogden had an eight-foot gorilla wheeled onto the stage for their final song of the night, Gary.

    He explains the song is named after the aforementioned gorilla, who Ogden says he heard had been stolen from a Scottish garden centre and thus inspired the song of the same name.

    Truly bonkers. The guy next to me just tapped me on the shoulder and said: "Have you seen Gary?"

    Well, you can’t really miss him, he’s an eight-foot gorilla.

    Alanis Morissette is bringing the singalong vibes to the pyramid stage.

    We're surrounding by women singing every word to her biggest hits like Head Over Feet (including me).

    As one woman shouted: "Go on girl!"

    There was talk before the set on social media that people were going equipped with spoons, in reference to an iconic line in Alanis’s song ‘Ironic’.

    It seems at least a couple of people here got the memo.

  5. Time has mellowed Morissette, but her voice is as powerful as everpublished at 18:42 British Summer Time 27 June

    Mark Savage
    Music correspondent, reporting from Glastonbury

    Alanis Morissette is too cool to be real. She had one of the biggest-selling albums of the 90s, she inspired a generation of female rockers, and she even played God in the movie Dogma.

    She’s here tonight in skintight PVC trousers and violent green trainers, running through the highlights of her breakthrough album Jagged Little Pill, which somehow turned 30 a couple of weeks ago, and still sounds fresh. Those songs are sardonic and angry and self-effacing, yet also encouraging and optimistic, especially on the lilting Head Over Feet.

    Time has mellowed Morissette, who approaches the music with a beaming grin, rather than the teeth-baring anger that inspired You Oughta Know.

    But her voice has lost none of its power. For most of her opening number, Hand In My Pocket, she has to hold the microphone three feet away from her mouth.

    Bridie McCarthy and Jesse Masters are here for their first Glastonbury Festival and were in the crowd for Lewis Capaldi's surprise set a little earlier.

    “His vocals were just amazing," Jesse says. "Great performance."

    "It was good to see the whole crowd get involved and get behind him. It was unreal," they add.

    Tina Roberts and Ryan Olerton, from the Wirral and Warrington, were at Glastonbury for Lewis Capaldi's last performance in 2023 where he struggled to finish, and were in the audience again today to see his return.

    "Emotional," is how they describe it.

    There’s a secret to creating the perfect Glastonbury set - play the hits.

    That's the approach Blossoms took as they opened their set at Woodsies.

    The Stockport band are no strangers to Worthy Farm and it shows - a trio of Your Girlfriend, I Can’t Stand It and Getaway got the crowd singing along instantly.

    That was one of the most moving and heartwarming sights I’ve ever witnessed at Glastonbury.

    An emotional crowd willed Lewis Capaldi through the short set as he shed the memories of 2023.

    He spoke several times about how touched he was by their support, and how he feared he’d never be able to perform like this again.

    I’m blown away. Imagine how Lewis feels.

  9. Lewis Capaldi ends with Someone You Lovedpublished at 17:33 British Summer Time 27 June

    Lewis Capaldi ends his set with Someone You Loved - which he references he failed to finish at his last Glastonbury performance.

    "I might struggle to finish it for a different reason today", he says as he holds back tears.

    An emotional return for Lewis Capaldi - many will remember his last performance on the Pyramid Stage in 2023 when he struggled to finish his live set.

    Capaldi has Tourette’s syndrome and later said it was affecting his ability to sing. Apart from a surprise set a couple of weeks ago he’s been out of the spotlight for two years, but you wouldn’t know it from his flawless start today.

    He tells the crowd: “It’s just a short set today but I just wanted to come and finish what I couldn’t finish first time around on this stage.”

    Lewis Capaldi’s name appeared in giant letters on the video screen at the back of the Pyramid Stage and a huge cheer rang out.

    He strolled on stage, taking in the view and raised one finger to the sky as the audience went wild.

    The first song was hugely emotional. It was a back and forth between Lewis and the crowd, duetting on the chorus of Before You Go. Lewis flashed a humble smile as the song ended, before going straight into Grace.

    Earlier we reported that there's been a lot speculation that Scottish songwriter Lewis Capaldi may be the secret 'TBA' performer on the Pyramid Stage - and it turns out the rumours were true.

    Capaldi has just walked out on Glastonbury's main stage for the first since that emotional performance in 2023 when festival fans helped sing along as his voice faltered.

    Katy B is performing in the boiling sun over at Silver Hayes - one of Glastonbury’s ever-evolving dance music villages.

    The 5am hitmaker, who rose to fame in the early 2010s, says going to Glastonbury as a teenager is “one of my most memorable experiences”. She says she performed cover tracks alongside classmates from the renowned Brit School.

    “That’s the great thing about Glastonbury - there’s so many opportunities to do really fun things, like back to backs, DJ sets and lots of different performances really," says Katy, who is also performing at 04:00 in the morning.

    We're going to peel away from the main stages for a moment just to tell you about a lovely bunch we met yesterday.

    Dan got down on one knee to propose to Kate in the field opposite the Pyramid Stage in front of their friends, also dressed as bananas.

    And they didn’t rule out having their honeymoon at Glastonbury when it returns in 2027.

    It’s so hot here at Glastonbury that Wet Leg’s Rhian Teasdale is pouring a can of water over her head between songs.

    It’s quite a hairy set, overall. The band - now officially a five-piece - look for all the world like Wayne and Garth, head banging their generous barnets to Bohemian Rhapsody… except its arch indie riffs instead of Queen’s pomp rock classic.

    They kick off their set with the confrontational single Catch These Fists before delving into first album classics like Oh No and Supermarket.

    Rhian dedicates their new single, a sweet love ditty called Davina McCall, to her partner, before they swerve into Ur Mum. And in a tradition started at Glastonbury 2022 the audience goes nuts at the line, “have you been perfecting your longest and loudest scream”.

    Amazing scenes.

    Rumours are flying that singer-songwriter Lewis Capaldi will grace the main stage later as one of the surprise acts.

    This follows the release of his new single Survive in the last 24 hours - a return to the public eye for the first time in around two years.

    We've already had some great performances so far today but the biggest acts are yet to come.

    This year’s headliners are The 1975, who take to the main stage tonight, Neil Young and the Chrome Hearts are up on Saturday, and Olivia Rodrigo closes things out on Sunday.

    Coming up on the main stage a little later today we're expecting a much-anticipated set of timeless hits from 90s alt-rock singer-songwriter Alanis Morissette at around 18:15.

    Scottish rock band Biffy Clyro will also be making a big return since their last outing on the Pyramid Stage in 2017. You should be able to watch them from around 20:15.

    But you don't just have to stick to the Pyramid Stage – Self Esteem is on The Park Stage and Blossoms are lighting up Woodsies today - and there's many more to see.

    If you need the full lowdown you can find set times, line-ups, stages and all the rest here.

    We've just finished watching CMAT on the main stage.

    Artists work so hard to get to the Pyramid Stage but there’s also something to be said for how the setting can make some artists’ careers.

    It felt like we just saw that happening with CMAT. She ended her incredible set by parting the crowd and meeting fans as everyone belted out "I just can’t do it" from the song Stay for Something - what a moment.

  20. Paul McCartney watches on as Inhaler rock the Other Stagepublished at 15:08 British Summer Time 27 June

    Some major sound problems over on The Other Stage, where Ireland’s Inhaler are well into their set. The speakers are cutting in and out as they play A Question Of You.

    The chorus has more holes than Swiss cheese, but the band are bravely soldiering on.

    It's poor timing, with music legend Paul McCartney spotted watching from the wings.

    Luckily it seems to be a temporary problem… the next song Just To Keep You Satisfied, passes off without incident.

    But frontman Elijah Hewson gets the crowd to sing a call and response section, just in case.
