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

Some people in the crowd aren’t just here for Kneecap’s music.
One person says they are here to support Kneecap’s right to protest and support Palestinian people.
As you’d imagine, the BBC’s decision to not stream the set live isn’t popular with people at the West Holts stage.

Jade is now storming through a Little Mix melody.
Woman Like Me, Shout Out to My Ex and Touch. The crowd is going crazy.
She knows her crowd at Woodsies stage.
"Shout Little Mix," she says.

Groups of people walking through the audience at the West Holts stage, selling Palestinian flags in aid of charities in Gaza.
Some fans have draped themselves in the flag to escape the heat. Others are tying them to security fences around the arena.
Up before Kneecap is rapper Bob Vylan, who has been equally vocal about Israel’s military action in Gaza. As we approach the stage, he’s leading the crowd in an anti-IDF chant.

"She must be very hot," says a fan in the Woodsies crowd as Jade enters the stage singing her track Midnight Cowboy.
The singer is decked out in an oversized parka complete with a furry hood and some equally sweaty-looking matching glittery cargo pants.
"I can’t believe that little old me is on the Glastonbury stage. I came here last year with my boyfriend and I thought if I worked really hard, stayed true to myself I might get to be here," she says.
Jade is making her Glastonbury debut over at the Woodsies stage.
If you fancy catching it live, just head to the Watch & listen tab and pick the live stream for the stage.

Adding to the summer vibes, she’s surrounded by half a dozen Japanese cherry trees as she strolls through laid-back tracks like California, Sunny Day and Beaches (“my favourite song,” she says).
She’s drawn a big crowd to The Other Stage, but they’ve wisely spread across the field to avoid overcrowding and overheating as her voice drifts on the (very welcome) breeze.
“Thanks you so much for having us,” she says, strapping on a neon pink guitar for her final song, Cologne. “I love you so much”.

Expect tricolour balaclavas (yes, even in this weather) and Kneecap logo t-shirts in the crowd at the band's set this afternoon, which is expected to kick off at 16:00.
The trio have a dedicated fan base who believe the band are speaking for them on issues such as Gaza, a United Ireland and class.
They told me previously that they have no problem with British people but do have a problem with the British government.
Festival-goers have been gearing up for another day at Glastonbury.
Highlights today will include Raye and Charli XCX - and also classic acts, including Neil Young.
Let's bring you some of the latest images coming to us from Worthy Farm.

Brandi Carlile’s set is going down a storm.
After getting the crowd on side with a flawless cover of Radiohead’s Fake Plastic Trees, she gives us a country schooling with Hold Out Your Hand - a song she wrote in the style of Dolly Parton, "if Dolly had tattoos, which we know she does".
As the song ends, the audience are so enchanted they start chanting, “Olé, olé, olé."
Overwhelmed, Carlile declares: “It’s official. I have now played the greatest festival on earth… And it only took me to 44 years old to do it.
"It was worth every minute."
You’re welcome back any time, Brandi.

A beautiful moment on the Pyramid Stage as Brandi Carlile plays You Without Me - a song about the bittersweet experience of a parent watching their child grow up and assert their independence; and the wrench of letting go.
It’s one of the songs she wrote for her recent duets album with Elton John, who’s been singing its praises ever since.
"Every time I play the album to people, they say, ‘Play that one again’," he wrote on his official website.
"They are just so moved by the sentiments of that song.
"And it is exactly the same as what David [Furnish] and I are going through as well, because our elder son went to boarding school and we took him down and had lunch with him and I came home and I just burst into tears.
"David said, ‘What on earth is wrong?’ I said, ‘I’ve lost my boy. I love him so much as a little man, but I’ll never see that little boy again.’"
There are few parents in the audience getting weepy as they experience those same emotions. I’m not ashamed to say I’m one of them.
As the song finishes, Carlile thanks the crowd for their attention. "Only at Glastonbury could I get away with playing a solo ballad in the middle of the afternoon. Everything they say about you is true."

Doherty, 46 - pictured here with BBC reporter Charlotte Gallagher - rocketed to fame in the early 2000s as the frontman of The Libertines
Pete Doherty’s Glastonbury experience is different this year as he’s with his family and two-year-old daughter, so they’ll be looking for playgrounds and ice creams.
He’s performing on the Greenpeace stage today and with The Libertines on the Pyramid Stage tomorrow.
Doherty tells me he loves the “magic” of Glastonbury and it will always be special to him.
His relationship with the rest of The Libertines is still like family "but less dysfunctional", he says.

Ahead of her headline slot on the Pyramid Stage on Sunday, US pop star Olivia Rodrigo performed at London's BST Hyde Park on Friday night.
And in a surprise twist, she brought out Ed Sheeran to duet his 2011 song The A Team.
Sheeran wrote on Instagram afterwards that he was a "proper fan" of Rodrigo's, calling her "one of the brightest stars of the next generation".
"Was gonna go watch the show anyway but she hit me and asked to sing The A Team with her, which was such a buzz."
He tells her "rock Glasto" and that "UK loves you x".
Could Ed Sheeran be a surprise guest at Glastonbury? It's been rumoured by some but looks unlikely - he's down to perform in Stuttgart in Germany on Saturday and Sunday.

Lorde had already done a secret set earlier in the day - and returned for another surprise
Dancing into the early hours to DJ sets and clubs is all part of the Glastonbury experience.
But last night revellers at queer club NYC Downlow were joined by a very special guest.
Lorde made an unexpected appearance, shimmying on stage at about 02:30.
I could not believe my eyes, being so close to the pop princess after watching her from the very back of a crowded Woodsies stage.
"This is where it's at," she told the crowd at NYC Downlow, before meeting fans and vibing on the dancefloor.
Earlier, the Royals songwriter performed a surprise set, delighting fans with songs from her new album Virgin, including What Was That.

Kneecap’s controversial set on the West Holts stage will not be screened live this afternoon, but will hopefully be made available on demand later, the BBC has confirmed.
Politicians and music industry officials have petitioned Glastonbury to drop the band, after rapper Liam Óg Ó hAnnaidh was charged with a terrorism offence for allegedly displaying a Hezbollah flag at a gig last year. He denies the charge. Hezbollah is proscribed as a terrorist organisation by the UK.
Glastonbury have defended the decision to proceed with the gig, with organiser Emily Eavis saying: "There have been a lot of really heated topics this year, but we remain a platform for many, many artists from all over the world and, you know, everyone is welcome here."
The band's appearance has caused problems for the BBC, which has to decide whether it can broadcast their set and meet its obligations to impartiality and offensive language.
In a statement, the BBC said: “Whilst the BBC doesn’t ban artists, our plans ensure that our programming meets our editorial guidelines. We don’t always live stream every act from the main stages and look to make an on-demand version of Kneecap’s performance available on our digital platforms, alongside more than 90 other sets.”

Image source, Getty ImagesIn order to keep everyone safe, Glastonbury uses the "personal planner" function on their official app to predict where crowds will go and identify pinch points during the day.
Today, they're seeing that Kneecap will cause a logjam at The Other Stage.
"Kneecap will draw a large audience for their 4pm West Holts show," said an official notification for festival goers.
"If you're not planning to see them, please plan alternative routes around that area. If you do plan to attend, listen to stewards, and please have some other entertainment options in mind in case the field reaches capacity and we need to close it as part of our crowd planning measures."
Other hotspots include Charli XCX on The Other Stage and Scissor Sisters' headline slot in the Woodsies tent.

Tá kneecap ar ais Glastonbury.
That’s Irish for Kneecap are back, Glastonbury. Because despite calls from the prime minister to get them axed, the Irish rap trio are expected to perform for thousands at 16:00 this afternoon.
The group attract as much support as they do criticism. They rap partly in Irish and are credited with making the language more accessible and relevant to younger generations.
A semi-autobiographical film they starred in was nominated for multiple Baftas. But critics say some of their on-stage statements cross the line.
One member, Liam Óg Ó hAnnaidh who performs under the name Mo Chara, has been charged with a terrorism offence for allegedly holding a Hezbollah flag on-stage and saying "up Hamas, up Hezbollah". He denies the charge.
They were also criticised for allegedly saying “the only good Tory is a dead Tory. Kill your local MP." They say that was a “joke” and they’re “playing characters”.
Kneecap say they’ve been targeted by a smear campaign because they talk about the number of civilians killed in Gaza by the Israeli military and are pro-Palestinian.
The condemnation appears to have just increased their profile. They’re expected to draw huge crowds when they play the festival later.
There’s also a question of how much of Kneecap's set the BBC will screen. We’ve not been told yet.

The BBC has confirmed it will be streaming Neil Young’s headline set on the Pyramid Stage tonight.
Last-minute decisions over whether to air an artist are unusual - although not unprecedented.
The Rolling Stones only allowed the BBC to show about an hour of their set in 2013; and Neil prevented the broadcast of his previous headline performance in 2009.
Artists are under no obligation to grant filming rights, and often the negotiations continue until the last minute.
I remember Beyoncé being whisked away from her post-show interview with Jo Whiley in 2011 to approve footage from her historic set.
Paul McCartney also took almost 24 hours to approve the on-demand repeat of his headline performance in 2022.
And in 2009, Neil’s managers sat with the BBC while he was onstage, eventually giving approval for five songs to be screened.

Neil Young performed on the Pyramid Stage at Glastonbury 2009
In a surprise update, the BBC has just announced that Neil Young’s headline set on the Pyramid Stage will be shown live after all.
“Earlier this week, we said that at the artist’s request, Neil Young’s set would not be shown live on the BBC on Saturday night,” the broadcaster says in a statement.
“Today, we are delighted to confirm that it will be.”
His set will now be broadcast, in the UK only, on BBC Two, Radio 2 and the iPlayer.
Charli XCX’s headline set on the Other Stage will continue to be screened on BBC One.
