  1. 'Dream come true': BBC's Ros Atkins reflects on playing Glastopublished at 19:22 British Summer Time 29 June

    Playing a set at Worthy Farm has been a bit of a bucket list item for the BBC News presenter Ros Atkins.

    He took to the Stonebridge stage in The Park area of Glastonbury Festival to a crowd of eager revellers who were lapping up his high energy drum and bass set.

    Speaking to ‘Inside Glastonbury’ on BBC Sounds he said: “If you want to DJ, you want to DJ at the best known and most brilliant music festival in the world. The idea that I might have the chance to play this music that I’ve loved for 20-30 years or more, to a crowd like that, to a scene like that, it’s unthinkable that it’s happened!”

    The fact that this has happened is something to really treasure.

    Kasabian's set at the Woodsies Stage was supposed to be a surprise, but there were so many people in the area that the tent was actually spilling out - so word clearly moved fast.

    Those who were organised enough to get themselves over to Woodsies were treated to a high octane performance from the Leicester band, including some of their biggest hits - Underdog, Club Foot and Shoot The Runner.

    Frontman Sergio Pizzorno may not have been on lead vocals last time the band performed at Glastonbury, but he’s certainly perfected his craft. The crowd were hanging off every instruction he offered throughout the one hour set.

  3. Cyndi Lauper brushes off 'technical difficulties'published at 19:12 British Summer Time 29 June

    We can now bring you some more details about the technical difficulties that Cyndi Lauper seemed to be experiencing on the Pyramid Stage earlier.

    The 80s pop star had a bit of a nightmare with her set on the main stage on Saturday afternoon. And speaking to BBC Breakfast afterwards, she admitted there had been “technical difficulties” to endure.

    “Sometimes you’re up there and the sound is like, ‘What?’” she told the BBC, in an interview to be broadcast on Sunday morning.

    “But it doesn't matter because the spirit is there… The spirit of those people. That was great. I had fun.”

  4. Kasabian's surprise set ends with chart-topping hit Firepublished at 19:03 British Summer Time 29 June

    Fire - Kasabian's highest-charting single to date - was how the Leicester band chose to send off their fiery crowd.

    Lead singer Sergio Pizzorno, donning a jean top and trousers, which featured strips of clothing hanging from it, asked an all too keen crowd to sing along to the final 'ooo's'.

    The band, who surprised festival-goers earlier today by announcing their Woodsies set, signed off with a big thank you to a hyped up audience.

    "We'll see you again soon," frontman Pizzorno said before walking off stage.

    Before we get to the rest of the evening's acts, let's go back to Nitin Sawhney's show that just wrapped over on the West Holts Stage.

    It’s been a rocky year for the British-Indian composer, who suffered a heart attack several months ago, and went on to have three operations.

    But he’s back, and playing Glastonbury no less - in a powerful set that just ended moments ago.

    He told me he was “blown away” to be able to perform here. “And it’s thanks to the doctors and the NHS and all the people who basically saved my life. So I’m very grateful to be here.”

    Today, he’s playing a mix of tracks from old albums as well as newer ones, with some special guests as well.

    “We’ve got the sun out too, it’s amazing,” he said.

  6. 'This is my worst nightmare': Technical issues force Kiwanuka to pausepublished at 18:43 British Summer Time 29 June

    Just as I said Michael Kiwanuka’s band were flawless, he’s hit by a big technical snafu.

    A keyboard sample that’s supposed to cue up the song Solid Ground goes wrong, and the singer can’t find his key.

    “This is my worst nightmare,” he says, and starts again.

    But the problem persists and he has to skip to the next song, Cold Little Heart.

    After Cyndi Lauper’s issues earlier today (more on that here), it feels like there’s a problem with the monitoring on the Pyramid Stage that’s stopping artists from hearing their backing band properly.

    It’s five years since Michael Kiwanuka last released new music, but that doesn’t seem to have dampened the audience’s enthusiasm.

    There’s a decent, if not massive, crowd at the Pyramid Stage, soaking up the Afro-soul vibes of tracks like You Ain’t The Problem and Rule The World – for which he’s joined by Lianne La Havas.

    His voice and his band are just world-class. Tight and funky, they lock down the grooves so expressively that it sounds like his albums have been remixed in 3D.

    With the sun setting, the heat is only intensifying, though, so it’s very much a sit-down affair.

    We’ve got to save energy for tonight…

  8. Who else is performing tonight?published at 18:23 British Summer Time 29 June

    British singer-songwriter and BBC's sound of 2012 Michael Kiwanuka has just taken to the Pyramid Stage (you can watch his set by pressing the Watch live button above).

    This is Kiwanuka's third time at the festival - having performed in 2016 and 2019 - but this is his first time performing at the Pyramid stage.

    Still to come on the West Holts Stage, we have Black Pumas (19:00 BST), Maesgo (20:30 BST), Jessie Ware (22:15 BST).

    On the Other Stage, there's Camilla Cabello (18:45 BST) The Streets (20:30 BST) and Disclosure (22:30 BST).

    And finally on the Pyramid Stage, the day will be closed with Little Simz (19:45 BST), and Coldplay (21:45 BST), who will be headlining Glastonbury for the fifth time.

    British-Australian singer Charlotte Plank will be playing over at Silver Hayes later this evening and the multi-hyphenate talent has been telling the BBC about what makes the festival so special to her.

    Quote Message

    The best thing about Glastonbury is all the weird and wonderful things you see roaming around the dance tents at 3am!”

    Charlotte Plank

    Plank, who performed here last year with Rudimental, says she “always tries to plan out to see certain people but it’s the unexpected stuff that’s the most memorable”.

  10. Kasabian take to the stagepublished at 18:04 British Summer Time 29 June

    As we reported earlier, British indie rockers Kasabian have just appeared on stage in their first time back at Glastonbury since headlining the festival in 2014.

    The Leicester band surprised social media earlier after confirming that they are the "TBA" slot listed for the Woodsies Stage, formerly the John Peel Stage.

    The band opened their set with crowd favourite Club Foot.

  11. Bloc Party jams up foot traffic ahead of Other Stage setpublished at 18:03 British Summer Time 29 June

    Mark Savage
    BBC Music correspondent

    Bloc Party’s arrival caused a momentary traffic jam on the way into The Other Stage, as fans clamoured to see lead singer Kele Okereke - and not just for his strikingly colourful Bermuda shorts.

    They eased us in gently with the chiming arpeggios of So Here We Are, before ripping into the scissoring riffs of Hunting For Witches.

    There was a brief hiccup when Kele’s sample pedal failed at the start of Mercury.

    “The people of Glastonbury deserve a song that’s played correctly,” he laughed. “REWIND!”

    After a pause to reset, the band flew through the song with added urgency, following up with Flirting Again and Song For Clay.

    On a day when the main stages have largely been in low-key mode, you can see why so many fans raced to see this frenetic, powerful set.

    The mosh pit looked a bit sweaty, mind you.

    We are now at the mid-point of Saturday's festivities at Worthy Farm so it seems a natural point to catch you up on some of the other acts that have been wowing crowds in the last few hours.

    In the midst of Cyndi Lauper's Pyramid Stage set at Glastonbury a little bit earlier, she used a portion of her time to make a passionate plea for women’s rights.

    During her performance of Girls Just Wanna Have Fun, she made reference to the feminist march of 2017 that saw US women wear "Pussyhats" - the pink woolly hats with cat ears worn to protest then incoming US president Donald Trump.

    She recounted watching the protests on TV and going out to see protesters holding placards that read "Girls Just Want To Have Fundamental Rights", and added that she was partnering with the Girls Just Want To Have Fundamental Rights Fund and highlighted the maternal health organisation White Ribbon.

    As Mark Savage noted in his review, the set was beset by sound problems that left the audience struggling to hear her vocals.

    But there were some standout moments, including the crowd lifting Lauper up with a fulsome sing along to hits like True Colors and Time After Time.

  14. The Kasabian's out of the bagpublished at 17:18 British Summer Time 29 June

    In case you missed it, a bit earlier indie rockers Kasabian confirmed on social media that they will be one of the secret shows of the weekend.

    For those at the festival, you'll be well aware that there was a "TBA" slot over on the Woodsies Stage, formerly the John Peel Stage, for 18:00 BST.

    The band then posted a video of the poster on social media with the caption "It's Happening!"

    The Leicester band first formed in 1997 and are known for hits like Club Foot and Shoot the Runner.

    They headlined and closed the festival back in 2014, in a set that Mark Savage then described as "powerful, bombastic".

    Don't forget - you can stream their set live at 18:00 by pressing the Watch & listen button above and navigating to the Woodsies stage stream.

    A man holds up a BBC sign while dancing in the crowd at Glastonbury.

    In between sets and stages, we find ourselves in a field with people dancing along to the BBC News theme tune. That’s definitely a first for us.

    This weekend, BBC analysis editor Ros Atkins has swapped his day job for a DJ set at Glastonbury.

    It’s a bit weird seeing your colleague in a casual t-shirt behind a set of decks - kind of like when you see your school teacher out somewhere during the holidays.

    He dropped the drum and bass version of David Lowe's BBC News theme during his set at Stonebridge stage. It’s the remix we never knew we needed.

    Before closing out their set on the Other Stage, lead singer of The Last Dinner Party, Abigail Morris, encouraged her very excited crowd to get out and vote ahead of the 4 July UK general election (for more coverage on that, head over to our separate live blog).

    The vibes in the crowd were mad as the closing song, and arguably their biggest hit, Nothing Matters, was played.

    People were singing along and I even overheard some chatter in the crowd saying: “Amazing. Best set so far”.

    “Seeing as you’ve been so sweet, I feel like maybe you deserve a treat and this comes in the form of a song that has not yet been released,” says The Last Dinner Party’s Abigail Morris.

    That song is Second Best - a post-punk/new wave scorcher that guitarist Emily Roberts explains is “about choosing to leave someone who treated you as second best”.

    The clue was in the title.

  18. How's the weather looking?published at 16:29 British Summer Time 29 June

    As Mark Savage just mentioned - the members of The Last Dinner Party (and for that matter, all performers today) must be sweltering on stage.

    But it has been a beautiful weekend so far for taking in the live music and the day will continue to be sunny with light winds and no rain in sight.

    The temperature in Somerset is currently 20C with 56% humidity and some light north-westerly winds.

    The mercury will gradually dip throughout the evening dropping to 16C at 21:00 BST as the clocks count down to tonight's headliner Coldplay (taking to the Pyramid Stage at 21:45 BST)

    The temperature will then stay at 15C for the next few hours, but the humidity will be within the 74-86% range throughout the night.

    Tems

    A bit before The Last Dinner Party took the stage, Nigerian Afrobeats star Tems was thrilling the crowd at the Other Stage.

    Nigerian flags were being waved vigorously at the front as the star, dressed in a blue-tassel jumpsuit, drew a huge crowd singing familiar hits like Free Mind and songs from her new album Born in the Wild.

    She says "like seriously this is mind blowing to me" before thanking a crowd she describes as her "best so far".

    Halima Dahir

    In the crowd, singing along, I find Halima Dahir standing at front.

    "I'm a massive fan of Tems. I've known about her for years, she's been fantastic."

    I ask her if she feels there has been much for Afrobeats fans at Glastonbury. She says the popularity of Afrobeats compared to what's been presented in Glastonbury is "not proportionate".

  20. The vibes - and the heat - are cranking up for The Last Dinner Partypublished at 16:13 British Summer Time 29 June

    Mark Savage
    BBC Music correspondent

    I’m sorry, but The Last Dinner Party must be absolutely sweltering.

    The scorching afternoon sun is beaming directly onto The Other Stage, and the band are all dressed up in heavy Victorian frills and herringbone corsets - like the cast of Bridgerton tinkering with the occult.

    But the outfits match their flamboyantly gothic music - all mandolins and flutes and bold, dramatic choruses.

    Early highlights include Feminine Urge, with its brittle story of misogyny (“Do you feel like a man when I can’t talk back”) and the crunching riffs of Caesar On A TV Screen.

    Singer Abigail Morris brings the pace down in the middle of the set, informing the packed field : “We’re going to do some weepy ones now, so if you want to get your crying out of the way then you’ll be ready for the dancing and the sex.”

    She has all the makings of a future headliner.
