Olivia Rodrigo has rocked out on the Pyramid Stage for thousands of cheering fans, while The Prodigy wowed a huge audience on The Other Stage
Rodrigo brought out The Cure's Robert Smith for a surprise appearance - they played the band's hit Friday I'm in Love
Earlier, Rod Stewart put on an iconic show during the festival's coveted "legends" slot
Stewart's star-studded appearance was an all-timer, writes BBC music correspondent Mark Savage - it was charming, it was silly, it was immensely enjoyable

Time now for one of the most hotly-anticipated sets at Glastonbury Festival… the Swamp Princess and TikTok sensation Doechii has just taken to the stage.
Her set is only 45 minutes long and she’s competing with the mighty Charli XCX, Neil Young and Scissors Sisters, but there is still a packed turnout here at West Holts.

The moment we’ve all been waiting for… the Apple girl is revealed: it's Gracie Abrams.
For those of you unfamiliar with the reference: the Apple girl is a surprise guest who appears when Charli XCX plays her song 'Apple' and who does a TikTok dance known as the Apple dance.

“Awwwwww.”
The section of the crowd I’m in actually swooned as Neil Young plucked the opening chords to The Needle and The Damage Done, a heartbreakingly beautiful song about the consequences of heroin addiction, originally from his 1972 album Harvest.

Charli XCX brings a high octane start to her set. Dressed in a black top, hot pants and boots, she belts out 360 in front of a backdrop emblazoned with the word brat – which is quickly set on fire, perhaps symbolising the true end to the brat era.

There’s hardly any room to move over on the Other Stage as thousands wait for Charli XCX to make her way to the stage. An early observation is that the crowd is fully armed with merch - we have Brat hats, slogan tees prefaced with her lyrics and, of course, a host of Charli themed flags.

You never know what sort of set you’re going to get with Neil Young, but based on the fuzztone distortion the last 15 minutes, I reckon we’re in for one of his gnarliest rock shows.
He’s just dug his teeth into a crunchy version of Cinnamon Girl - and it’s the first track of the night the audience have really been able to sing along to.
It’s a good crowd, though. Attentive and into it. And they all laugh when Neil makes a joke about his sudden decision to allow the BBC to broadcast the performance.
“How you doing out there? How are you doing at the back?” he asks. “And how about you people with your TVs in the bedroom?”

But I did catch up with them earlier. Guitarist Babydaddy told me they had “never really experienced festival culture quite like this”.
Bassist Del Marquis called it a “zenith moment where our band just connected with everybody here.”
As for their ongoing appeal, singer Jake Shears said it’s “music that parents have passed down to their kids.”
I wanted to know if they had any advice for people trying to decide between Neil Young, Charli XCX, Doechii and Scissor Sisters tonight.
Jake admitted he was “sad” as he would “love to sit down and watch a Neil Young show”. His band members agreed but with their set ending at the same time as the 79-year old’s, they don’t have a chance.

One fan, Chloe, tells me she loves Doechii because she’s experimental and alternative.
“She’s the Lizzo of 2019, I think we’re seeing a similar explosion. Her lyrics empower women,” her friend Julia says.
For 11-year-old Kit, seen here in the duck hat, it’s more straightforward. “Her lyrics are cool. And her songs are all over social media.”

Neil Young walks out to the Pyramid Stage, slightly hunched, guitar slung around his neck and strikes the opening chords to Sugar Mountain.
His face is obscured by a corduroy cap and his harmonica - but that unmistakable voice cuts across the field with crystalline clarity.

Standing to the left of the Pyramid, this all feels very familiar to SZA on the Sunday night of 2024 - people are drifting in, but not in big numbers.
There is a noticeable large gap around the left-hand side of the stage - which is normally one of the first areas to be filled up. In previous years a Saturday night headliner slot would have a crowd still present from the previous act, but the field cleared very quickly after Raye.
Charli XCX on the Other Stage however is packed with people, as is Woodsies for Scissor Sisters.
Saturday night on Worthy Farm is in full swing, and some of the line-up's biggest names are about to take their respective stages.
You can flick between them all on the watch & listen tab at the top of this page.

I hope you’ve been practicing the viral TikTok dance routine to Charli XCX’s song Apple…
Different fans have been selected as the Apple Girl at previous shows, tasked with performing the dance. I just met Louisa and Livvy who were practicing the moves at the Other Stage where Charli will headline later today.
They said they are fairly recent fans of her, but they totally love her as she’s “the voice of a generation”.

I caught up with Femi and James from Ezra Collective as they stepped off stage from their triumphant set on The Other Stage.
As you can imagine, they were (a) absolutely buzzing and (b) dripping with sweat.
“I can't emphasise how real it is when I say that you practice your whole life for just one second that might feel like that,” said Femi.
“So to get 75 minutes with your brothers? It was just a dream.”
“There was just a real sense of community,” added James. “And that’s one of the proudest things about being in this band. Everywhere I go, whenever I meet people who listen to our music, they're always so lovely and genuine."
“It's so easy to forget that exists,” Femi continued. “Sometimes we're in these really negative bubbles where it's like, we all hate each other, we’re all divided. But sometimes you just need to go to Glastonbury and see that that's a myth.
“Love for one another and respect for each other and our neighbours, it does exist, and it’s a special thing to be the soundtrack to that.”
We've now received a comment from BBC about the chants broadcast live on BBC iPlayer earlier.
As a reminder, punk duo Bob Vylan led chants of "free, free Palestine" and "death, death to the IDF [Israel Defense Forces]" during their set on the West Holts Stage on Saturday afternoon.
Commenting on the chants about the IDF, a BBC spokesperson says: “Some of the comments made during Bob Vylan’s set were deeply offensive.
"During this live stream on iPlayer, which reflected what was happening on stage, a warning was issued on screen about the very strong and discriminatory language," the response continues.
"We have no plans to make the performance available on demand.”
The government has said it "strongly condemns" comments made by English punk duo Bob Vylan during their Glastonbury set earlier today, which was broadcast live on BBC iPlayer.
Rapper Bobby Vylan led chants of "free, free Palestine" and "death, death to the IDF [Israel Defense Forces]" during the duo's set, which came just before Kneecap's on the West Holts stage.
The government tells PA news agency: "The culture secretary has spoken to the BBC director general to seek an urgent explanation about what due diligence it carried out ahead of the Bob Vylan performance, and welcomes the decision not to re-broadcast it on BBC iPlayer."
Separately, Avon and Somerset Police says it is reviewing video footage of comments made by acts on the stage on Saturday.
The force says footage "will be assessed by officers to determine whether any offences may have been committed that would require a criminal investigation".
We've asked the BBC for comment, and will bring you any statement when we can.

Raye's just taken to the Pyramid Stage oozing class. A simple red backdrop and a super tight big band - styled like a 1950's soul review.
A black shiny dress - so elegant. "I'm so excited to be here but so so nervous" she says, looking anything but.

The crowd watching Haim's secret set are shouting "louder, louder" as they compete with music at neighbouring venue. Some people decided to leave the set.
The stage is very different to when the sisters last performed at Glastonbury in 2022 at the Pyramid Stage.
The band have just released their new album I Quit.

Glastonbury's worst-kept secret is out. The mystery band billed as Patchwork were, in fact, Pulp. Still, no-one was prepared to believe it until it happened.
Jarvis Cocker strode onto the Pyramid Stage, receiving a hero's welcome as he launched into Sorted for E's & Wizz, from Pulp's career-making 1995 album Different Class.
"Sorry to the people who were expecting Patchwork," he drawled after the song ended. "Did you know it was us?"
The crowd responded "yes", with what I can only describe as a collective eye-roll.
"But how?" Cocker deadpanned.
Their set featured several new songs, including the celebratory Spike Island and a gospel-flavoured Got To Have Love. But everyone was really waiting for the big hits: Babies, Misfits and Common People.
As the crowd bounced, Cocker flapped across the stage like a washing line in a stiff breeze, his arms flailing and pointing at random.
