Afrobeats megastar Burna Boy is about to fire up Glastonbury's Pyramid Stage.
While he has played at the festival before, this is his first time on the iconic main stage.
Fellow Afrobeats star Ayra Starr also performed on Pyramid Stage on Saturday, while Tems had a slot on the Other Stage.
From west Africa to the world stage, Afrobeats has risen rapidly to dominate playlists and radio.
On Spotify, the Afrobeats genre has grown by 1,200% since 2017.
But with its artists now performing at the very top of the UK's biggest festival, it feels to me like another threshold has been crossed.

Janelle Monae gave a performance for the history bookspublished at 19:12 British Summer Time 30 June

The crowd might have thinned out after Shania, but Janelle Monae gave a performance for the history books.
Funky, fresh and occasionally filthy, she showcased the sort of skills we haven’t seen since the heyday of Prince and Michael Jackson - both of whom she paid tribute to.
The Oscar nominee and Grammy winner ran through slickly choreographed dance routines to Make Me Feel, Float, Lipstick Lover and Queen while rapping, singing and playing multiple instruments with dexterous ease.
For Pink - an ode to sexual pleasure - she donned her infamous gynaecological trouser suit (I’ll let your imagination decide what that means).
And for the closing couple of numbers, she not only appeared in Jackson’s high ankle trousers but she bested his signature dance - moonwalking in a perfect circle.

Avril Lavigne asks the crowd if anyone still has her first album.
The loud shouts from fans (myself included) suggest lots do.
“I was 16 when it went out,” she says, of her debut album, Let Go.
The album contained her hit single Complicated, which she belted out a bit earlier to a rapturous crowd.

I’m so happy to be here tonight and thank you guys.”

A fittingly purple tribute to Monae's mentor - Princepublished at 18:49 British Summer Time 30 June
Janelle Monae has spoken openly about the mentorship she received from Prince in the early years of her career.
And it appears that she has not forgotten her roots - as she strikes a Prince pose on stage set against a purple background.

This is an envelope-pushing, barn-storming performance from an artist with more talent in her little finger than others have in their whole tour bus.
The crowd erupted in cheers and laughter at her somewhat obscene trousers in her latest costume change (one of many so far in her set).
Celebrating queer icons, Monae takes pride in Pride on stagepublished at 18:27 British Summer Time 30 June

Janelle Monae has gone through a period of personal and sexual liberation since she last played Glastonbury.
Her new music has a supple sensuality and a sense of freedom that her previous, high-concept shows lacked.
She’s just cavorted around the stage, throwing champagne in the air to the sounds of the celebratory anthem Champagne S**t.
And because it’s Pride month, she’s also dedicated her performance to the icons “who made Pride possible”, from Marsha P Johnson and Grace Jones to Freddie Mercury.

Avril Lavigne: The ultimate Noughties pop legendpublished at 18:16 British Summer Time 30 June

Culture reporter at Glastonbury
I’ve been unashamedly excited about this one.
Avril Lavigne, the Canadian pop-punk star who epitomises the Noughties for many of us.
You can’t go wrong with her hits like Complicated, Girlfriend and Sk8er Boi – for me, they were the soundtrack to my youth.
She opens with her classic song Girlfriend. A total Noughties anthem.
Lots of millennials join in and are singing along to every word.
She’s playing over on the Other Stage until 19:00 BST, which you can catch by pressing the Watch & Listen button.

Despite some of the crowds dipping out to catch the England match, it's not stopping her from being fabulous so far.

Poor Janelle Monae.
The Pyramid Stage field has emptied pretty dramatically as people try to find somewhere to watch the England match.
(The team isn't getting a much better reception - they were booed off at half time after falling 0-1 to Slovakia. Follow our live coverage of that match here.)

A camera operator at Glastonbury Festival describes his job as the "best in the world" as he celebrates 25 years in the role.
Adam Gohil operates the cameras on one of the many cranes dotted around Worthy Farm to get the best shots of the Pyramid Stage.
He has told the BBC Sounds series Inside Glastonbury that it was "an honour and privilege" to work at the festival.
Adam says: "I love this place and I get the best view in the house."

He says: "It isn’t that high actually as you're on a downward sloping hill.
"We’re really safe and we’re in a harness and secure."

Korean band Balming Tiger 'can’t believe' they’re at Glastonburypublished at 17:27 British Summer Time 30 June

reporting from Glastonbury
Earlier this afternoon I saw Balming Tiger, a self styled “alternative K-pop band”, at the West Holts stage.
This band is doing something no-one else is right now.
Far away from the sugary pop sounds of K-pop, they played a fusion of tunes ranging from hip-hop, G Funk, K-pop and electro.
Ahead of their set, band member Omega Sapien told me they couldn’t believe when they first got the Glastonbury booking.
“We’re not even from here, we’re from Korea, it’s not like we have a big backing. But we came together, started making music, doing what we loved,” he said, before adding:

"We ended up here at one of the best festivals in their world.”
Omega says the band want to change the way the world perceives Korean music.
“In Korea there’s a lot of different music and a lot of different culture,” he said, before adding:
“We still want to be part of K-pop… but I think in order for us to lengthen the phenomenon, we have to show the different sides of Korean music so it can continue as a legacy.”
Sophie Ellis Bextor talks about appearing with Peggy Goupublished at 17:17 British Summer Time 30 June

Sophie Ellis Bextor popped up as a special guest at Peggy Gou’s show on the Park Stage last night, performing her resurgent classic Murder On The Dancefloor.
Speaking this afternoon, she said she was proud to be part of what she thinks is the first ever headline set by a female DJ at Glastonbury.
“I looked it up, and I couldn't find anything to contradict it.
Then I asked lots of people, and they couldn't remember. So I thought, I'll just say it and then it becomes fact.”
The singer was appearing in Glastonbury’s self-described “queer party space”, Scissors, where she talked about motherhood, fancy dress, and whether she considers herself a queer icon.
“I don’t think of myself in that way at all,” she said, “but the love I've received from my LGBTQ+ fans has empowered me.
“I started [singing] as a teenager, and you've always got that voice in the back of your head, that critiques everything you do.
“So when you come out to a crowd that gives you that real love and support, it makes you feel safe. And feeling safe as a performer is a really, really precious thing.
“You’ve created a monster!”

Shania’s set is a reminder of how country is backpublished at 16:45 British Summer Time 30 June

I’ve always quite liked country. I first saw Shania when I was 11!
But a few years ago, I don’t think this set would’ve gone down in the same way.
Country music’s had something of a resurgence recently.
There’s been a revival in the sounds of old school artists, as well as the entry of voices such as Beyoncé.
It feels like all of that has been building up to Shania’s set today.

James took to the Other Stage before a busy mixed crowd of devoted fans and Shania agnostics.
Were they more dreamy and psychedelic than usual… or was that just the 15:00 Glastonbury Sunday effect?
Singer Tim Booth gave us his trademark body-dislocating dancing before launching himself onto the crowd during Life’s a Shocking Miracle.
Yes, they played Sit Down… and yes, the singalong would have raised the roof if we hadn’t been in a field.

“Before I move on I want to say hats off to you Glastonbury,” says Shania.
“Thank you for sharing the experience. This is wild," she says.
“I’ve been walking around since last night, milling my way through the tents and the villages. And this really is a city. It’s a cool community. And I really do feel the privilege of being here."
Appearing to choke back tears, she continues by saying:
