There's a huge crowd at The Libertines, one of the defining bands of the indie rock era of the early noughties.

I spoke to singer Pete Doherty on Saturday about his love of Glastonbury and how Britpop influenced him as a teenager, including bands such as Oasis.

He told me he never thinks people are there to see him but might just need to hear a certain song, and that music was a real escape for him while he was growing up on an army barracks.

Doherty is at the festival with his young family, so he says it's been very different - they're looking for ice cream vans and playgrounds.

Lots of strepsil, tea and general existential crisis moments - that’s how Joy Crookes, who is up on The Other Stage shortly, told me she’s preparing for her set.

We can expect hits from her debut album Skin, as well as her upcoming record Juniper, out in September.

“I’m really excited, I think it’s just a nice range for this set,” she says.

Crookes, who is half Irish and half Bangladeshi, forms part of a diverse line up here at Glastonbury. Other artists with South Asian heritage, such as Charli XCX, have also performed at the festival.

The festival’s dedicated South Asian stage has also returned for a second year. “I think it’s just how it should be. It’s normal. It should be normal,” Crookes says.

Joy Crookes will be taking to the Other Stage 15:00, and you can catch her set on the Watch & Listen tab at the top of this page.

Brian Johnson has a Glastonbury claim to fame which puts most of us to shame.

He went to the second-ever festival at Worthy Farm in 1971 by accident and ended up helping to build the first Pyramid Stage.

Brian’s been telling Inside Glastonbury on BBC Sounds how he was driving from Cambridge to Cornwall when he saw “a little sign nailed to a tree that said Glastonbury Fayre”.

He recalls saying to his then-girlfriend: “Oh, I like a nice country fayre, let’s go in for a nice cup of tea and a bun.”

When he arrived at Worthy Farm he was instead greeted by Michael Eavis’ then-partner, Jean.

He says she “gave them a pint of milk and a spanner, and said ‘if you go down there and park your old VW bus behind the stage they might find something useful for you to do’”.

And the rest as they say is history! Brian still attends Glastonbury, but nowadays he’s to be found volunteering for one of the festival’s three official charities, WaterAid.

The Libertines have stepped onto the Pyramid Stage for the 14:00 slot, kicking off their set with Up the Bracket, the title track from their 2002 debut album.

You can watch their performance on the Pyramid Stage livestream in the Watch & Listen tab.

We’ve been reminding you that you can Watch live at the top of the page, and use the Watch & Listen tab to see streams from different stages.

But yes, we know you want to breathe in the air at Worthy Farm.

Last year, tickets for Glastonbury 2025 sold out in just 35 minutes. They cost £373.50 each, plus a £5 booking fee.

But even if you have the money, there just aren't enough tickets for everyone.

So, how do the lucky ticketholders get in?

• Teaming up with friends: You can buy up to six tickets at once, so the more friends trying, the better your chances
• Volunteering: Apply through official organisations like Oxfam, Greenpeace or WaterAid for a chance to volunteer and get in for free.
• Competitions: Winning tickets in a competition is rare, but possible – BBC 1Xtra recently gave away two

And a heads up: Glastonbury is taking a break in 2026, so there’ll be no festival next year.

We're just a couple of hours away now from Sir Rod Stewart gracing the legend's slot on the Pyramid Stage.

Festivalgoers Rob Divall and Coman Wakefield from Warrington and Surbiton are excited to see him for the first time.

They are massive fans of the rock star - the pair joked that they're ready to step in if Stewart is unwell.

They say they won’t be in the mosh pit because they are worried they won’t be able to make it to the toilet.

It's the final day of Glastonbury, and Worthy Farm has been buzzing with activity since early this morning.

Performers in colourful costumes have been entertaining the crowds. Festival-goers are out and about, and some have already started packing up and heading home after their time at the festival.

People who’ve turned up for Celeste’s set on the Pyramid Stage expecting the laid-back soul grooves of her debut album are in for a shock.

She’s turned up with heavy black mascara smudged across her face and a live band, who’ve apparently stolen all of Neil Young’s distortion pedals.

Celeste’s new record, Woman Of Faces, was written in the aftermath of a life-altering breakup, and her new sound is tough, raw and transfixing.

She’s currently singing the buzzing, intense Everyday (one of my favourite singles of the year) that’s built around the sleazy, sinister groove of Death In Vegas’s classic dance track Dirge.

Once you adjust to the new sound, it’s clear this is an artist who’s found a rich seam of inspiration in the hardest of times. She sounds amazing.

As we mentioned earlier, there are a lot of great acts that are going to be performing later for Glastonbury's final day.

Among the biggest names are Olivia Rodrigo and The Prodigy, whose sets both kick off at 21:45 BST on the Pyramid and Other Stage respectively.

Before that, Rod Stewart will be performing in the legends slot, also on the Pyramid Stage. Other musical icons who will be entertaining the crowds are Nile Rodgers & Chic and Groove Armada.

And there's plenty more where that came from, including Noah Kahan, Wolf Alice, Jorja Smith, Celeste, Snow Patrol, The Libertines, St Vincent, Future Islands, The Maccabees, Kae Tempest and AJ Tracey.

Hayley and Pete from London are massive Celeste fans who were keenly anticipating this gorgeous Pyramid Stage set.

"She has a voice that gives you goosebumps," says Pete.

"She’s obviously really nervous but her voice is totally on form and cutting through".

There's goosebumps on your correspondent too.

With it being the last day of Glastonbury, you can understand why some festival-goers might want to ease their way into their final hours on the farm.

But that certainly wasn’t the case over on The Other Stage, where a sea of football-shirt wearing fans were poised for Louis Dunford’s set.

The 33-year-old’s soft rock ballads were punctuated with tales of his trips to Glastonbury in the past, whilst he also shouted out his mum, actress Linda Robson, who he said was at Worthy Farm for the first time.

He ended his set with The Angel (North London Forever) which has been the anthem for Arsenal football club since 2022 and was sung along fervently by the crowd.

It’s going to be a hot and humid day at Worthy Farm.

After a mostly cloudy start to the morning it’s going to turn increasingly sunny, lifting temperatures to 27 or 28C (81-82F) by the middle of the afternoon.

It’ll stay very warm during the evening and then really muggy overnight.

For people leaving the site tomorrow to begin the long journey home it’s going to be even hotter with temperatures likely to hit 30C (86F).

While it has been a very warm festival overall, we’re not expecting it to break any records. The hottest Glastonbury on record was in 2017 when temperatures hit 31.2C (88.2F).

Fantastic Sunday morning vibes from The Selecter, who opened the Pyramid Stage amidst a very welcome breeze.

The ska band are celebrating their 40th anniversary, and careened through a back catalogue that includes classics like Too Much Pressure and On The Radio.

Singer Pauline Black claims her voice is “a bit sore” but she’s sounding fine out in the field.

The BBC has just released a statement confirming it has put Kneecap's Glastonbury set on iPlayer, but with some edits.

The corporation did not broadcast Kneecap's set live yesterday over concerns the trio - known for their controversial and politically-charged performances - would say something that did not meet its editorial guidelines.

“We have made an on-demand version of Kneecap’s performance available on iPlayer, as part of our online collection of more than 90 other sets," the BBC says in a new statement this morning.

"We have edited it to ensure the content falls within the limits of artistic expression in line with our editorial guidelines and reflects the performance from Glastonbury’s West Holts stage. As with all content which includes strong language, this is signposted with appropriate warnings.”

Among the edits made was a decision by the BBC to mute a section of the song Get Your Brits Out that references Christopher Stalford, a DUP politician who died in 2022.

Sunday's performances have kicked off and so has our livestream - simply click the Watch live tab to join it.

Or click Watch & Listen to choose to view music from five of the main stages so you won't miss any of the action.

Bob Vylan are a rap punk duo made up of two musicians who do not use their real names when performing - instead referring to themselves as "Bobby Vylan" and "Bobbie Vylan".

Bobby Vylan, the frontman of the group, is the bandmate who led chants of "free, free Palestine" and "death, death to the IDF [Israel Defense Forces]" while on stage at Glastonbury on Saturday.

Bobbie Vylan, meanwhile, is the group's drummer.

Very little is known about the pair, whose music draws on a wide range of genres and addresses a range of social and political themes such as the cost-of-living crisis, as well as war and poverty, among others.

According to a profile of the band in the Guardian, external, Bobby Vylan was raised between Ipswich in Suffolk and Stepney Green in east London, and has a daughter.

"The pair deliberately obfuscate their identities to resist what they see as a surveillance state", the Guardian reported last year.

Political pressure, police attention, press criticism. Glastonbury finds itself in a difficult position this morning, after the on-stage comments by Bob Vylan and Kneecap.

Organiser Emily Eavis has issued a statement saying she’s "appalled" by the chants that took place on the West Holts Stage yesterday during Bob Vylan's set, and reminding people there is no place for "anti-semitism, hate speech or incitement to violence" at Glastonbury.

The festival has a history of political protest. In the 1980s is was aligned to the Campaign For Nuclear Disarmament and there were, undoubtedly, chants about Margaret Thatcher that used similar language to Kneecap’s anti-Starmer protest.

In the following decade, the festival got into trouble over drug use and violence. Riots broke out in 1990 amid a dispute between travellers and security. Petrol bombs were thrown, resulting in £50,000 of damage.

Five years later, a gunman shot five people in the audience, allegedly after a dispute between rival drug gangs.

The erection of the festival’s security fence helped end those problems; and in recent years the event has been relatively trouble-free, even hosting politicians of all stripes for debates and talks on the festival’s political stages.

The tradition of championing free speech remains, but organisers say yesterday’s comments "crossed a line".

A group campaigning against antisemitism says it will formally complain to the BBC over its "outrageous decision" to broadcast the act by Bob Vylan.

"Our national broadcaster must apologise for its dissemination of this extremist vitriol, and those responsible must be removed from their positions," says the Campaign Against Antisemitism.

A BBC spokesperson earlier said some of the comments made during the duo's set were "deeply offensive", and that during their set it had issued a warning on its livestream about "very strong and discriminatory language".

The set was not made available to re-watch on BBC iPlayer.

Responding to comments made by punk duo Bob Vylan yesterday, Glastonbury Festival releases a new statement in a post on Instagram:

"With almost 4,000 performances at Glastonbury 2025, there will inevitably be artists and speakers appearing on our stages whose views we do not share, and a performer's presence here should never be seen as a tacit endorsement of their opinions and beliefs.

"However, we are appalled by the statements made from the West Holts stage by Bob Vylan yesterday.

"Their chants very much crossed a line and we are urgently reminding everyone involved in the production of the festival that there is no place at Glastonbury for antisemitism, hate speech or incitement to violence."
