  1. Keane - a set list 20 years in the makingpublished at 15:59 British Summer Time 29 June

    It will be Keane’s third time rocking the fields at Worthy Farm, but the occasion the four-piece UK band will be celebrating is the 20-year-anniversary of their debut album, Hopes and Fears.

    The early aughts album had singles that not only topped the UK charts for weeks, but it also became the nation's second-biggest album of 2004, and has since been certified 9x Platinum by the BPI.

    The stopover in Somerset on Saturday is part of Keane’s summerlong tour through the UK and Europe, but expect this afternoon's performance - starting in just a few minutes - touring through the band’s back catalogue to be nothing short of magical – or for those in attendance, a place that they’ve been dreaming of.

    As a reminder, you can watch their set live by tapping the Watch & listen tab and then clicking on the Pyramid Stage stream.

  2. BBC Radio 1’s Sound of 2024 winners set to take the stagepublished at 15:50 British Summer Time 29 June

    The Last Dinner Party pose for a picture

    It’s been a huge year for the London-based indie-rock/pop band The Last Dinner Party.

    They were crowned the winners of BBC Radio 1’s Sound of 2024 back in January, and they’ve been upgraded to the Other Stage after their Glastonbury debut last year.

    Drawing on 70s art-rock albums by Sparks and Roxy Music, while channelling the fiery femininity of Siouxsie Sioux and Florence Welch, expect big things.

    You can catch their set between in just a few minutes, as the group will be taking over the Other Stage at 15:45 BST - which you can also catch by pressing the tab at the top called Watch & listen.

  3. Who else is performing today?published at 15:45 British Summer Time 29 June

    We're now properly settled back into sunny Somerset at the Worthy Farm for the fourth full day of acts - though ticket holders have been streaming through Glastonbury's iconic gates since early on Wednesday.

    The price of the festival set those ticket holders back a bit more this year, coming in at £355 (plus a £5 booking fee), which is £20 pricier than 2023's event.

    And there are more than 200,000 music lovers, performers, stage crew, hospitality staff and medical staff will be sprawling out across the 900-acre site until Sunday.

    We heard Dua Lipa light up the Pyramid Stage on Friday night but we’re still looking forward to catching Coldplay tonight, and SZA on Sunday.

    There’s a lot else to look out for today, including Disclosure over on the Other Stage and Jessie Ware on the West Holts Stage.

    To get caught up on everything else Glastonbury, including set times, line-up and stages, head over here.

    Japanese punk rock band Otoboke Beaver are getting the crowds going over at the Park Stage - and I've just had a chance to catch up with some of those headbangers.

    Will, Ben and Nathan (seen above) from Brighton are beaming at Otoboke Beaver.

    If you like angular, fun, rule-breaking, all female, Japanese, post-punk… oh, just get over and join the party (they're set wraps at 16:00 BST).

  5. The Staves start up Saturday over on the Other Stagepublished at 15:32 British Summer Time 29 June

    The Staves

    Also a bit earlier, indie folk band The Staves opened up the Other Stage, waking up last night’s revellers with a gentle dose of sisterly harmony.

    The duo – Camilla and Jessica Stavely-Taylor – treated fans to a career-spanning set, that included early songs like In The Long Run and Mexico, alongside tracks from their recent record All Now.

    Introducing the delicately strummed I’ll Never Leave You Alone, Jessica started a bit of audience participation, saying: “It won’t be too hard. The chorus is literally just, ‘oooo’.”

    It felt like many of the audience were hearing the group for the first time (they remain sadly underappreciated, despite the melodic beauty of their records).

    I wonder how many people knew they’ve previously been part of a Pyramid Stage headline set?

    To find out more about that – check out the Glastonbury diary the band wrote for us back in 2013. They even found a four-leaf clover!

  6. Ayra Starr makes history on Pyramid Stagepublished at 15:19 British Summer Time 29 June

    Ayra Starr

    Just before Cyndi Lauper took the main stage, Ayra Starr made history on the same floor and became the first Afrobeats artist to play Glastonbury’s prestigious Pyramid Stage.

    There have been Afrobeat (minus the “S”) artists here before, including this morning, when Femi Kuti took to the stage. He’s the son of artist and activist Fela Kuti, who pioneered the Afrobeat movement - a fusion of traditional African rhythms with funk, jazz and highlife - in the 1960s and 1970s.

    But Afrobeats, with an "s", is a completely different sound. It is generally seen as a fusion of traditional West African musical styles with Western pop, rap and dancehall.

    Ayra Starr

    As a result, Nigerian singer Starr, and fellow Afrobeats musician Burna Boy, who will play here tomorrow, are making history.

    Ahead of Starr’s set, she told my colleague Mark Savage what this moment meant to her.

  8. Lauper dances through sound troublespublished at 14:58 British Summer Time 29 June

    Cyndi Lauper’s set is leaving many fans confused.

    The sound mix at the Pyramid Stage is very bass-heavy and her vocals are hard to make out. Judging by the reaction on Twitter, that might be for the best.

    “Cyndi Lauper certainly isn't miming, although I kinda wish she was,” wrote one.

    ”Artists of a certain generation just don't know when to stop and it's sad,” wrote another.

    But things seem to improve when she breaks into I Drove All Night. Her vocals are suddenly clear and resonant. I wonder what was going on?

    BBC Music correspondent

    Cyndi Lauper strolls onto stage dressed head to toe in silver, save for a long, flowing powder blue coat (her hair is dyed to match, naturally).

    Surveying the huge crowd that’s turned up to see her, she declares: “How you doing? I see you. I love you. You are everywhere!”

    She launches straight into 80s soundtrack classic The Goonies ‘R’ Good Enough, followed by the censor-baiting She Bop.

    The beginning of the set is mired slightly by mic issues - but they’re quickly resolved and the crowd is fully on her side.

  11. The crowd just wants to have fun - and see Cyndi Lauperpublished at 14:27 British Summer Time 29 June

    BBC Music correspondent

    Cyndi Lauper is about to play the Pyramid Stage - and this could be our last chance to see her.

    The 71-year-old just announced her farewell tour, after more than 40 years of hits, including Girls Just Wanna Have Fun, She Bop and Time After Time.

    But she’s still got plenty of moxy. Speaking to Woman’s Hour earlier this week, the singer described how she tore up the original version of Girls Just Wanna Have Fun, written by Robert Hazard, to recast it in her image.

    “It was written by a man, for a man,” she said. “It’s not the same point of view. “So I decided, OK, now we take it apart and put it back together. And I realised that instead of singing, ‘Oh daddy dear, we are the fortunate ones,’ you could literally say, ‘Oh mama dear, we are not the fortunate ones.’ Because we’re not.”

    The star went on to describe how she’d witnessed her mother’s ambitions to be a singer frustrated by her conservative grandfather – and how she’d rebelled against the status quo of her strict Italian-American upbringing.

    Quote Message

    I burnt my training bra at the first Woman’s Demonstration,” she said. “And I burnt it not just for me but for my mother and my grandmother, the women whose shoulders I stand on.”

  12. What happened yesterday?published at 14:26 British Summer Time 29 June

    Before we get you caught up on today's festival's goings on, here's a quick recap of what went down on Friday:

    • Pop megastar Dua Lipa dazzled the crowd at Worthy Farm with an energetic headline set
    • But elsewhere Jungle, LCD Soundsystem, PJ Harvey, Idles, Olivia Dean, Jamie XX, and the Sugababes brought the festival to life
    • Paul Heaton serenaded the Pyramid Stage and was joined on stage by Fatboy Slim, who played Happy Hour by the Housemartins with him

    We're just minutes away from getting into the first big act of Saturday - the 80s pop icon Cyndi Lauper will be hitting the Pyramid Stage and hopefully we'll get to hear some our favourite hits - more on that in our next post.

  13. Lauper begins making farewells – but not before some funpublished at 14:17 British Summer Time 29 June

    Just days before making her return to Glasto, 80’s pop sensation and New York native Cyndi Lauper announced that she’d be adding UK and European dates to her farewell tour.

    Aptly named after the 71-year-old’s breakout hit from her 1983 debut album, the UK lag of the Girls Just Wanna Have Fun Farewell tour will begin in Glasgow in February 2025 – starting just weeks after she ends a marathon sprint across 23 cities in North America.

    Speaking about the last time she graced Worthy Farm, a much wetter weekend back in 2016, Lauper told BBC Radio 2: "I think it was really kind of great and fun and at that point it was raining and I was very happy at the point we had a tent.”

    Lauper added that she has a "fabulous outfit" in mind for her slot, but "you never know for the weather", so she might change it, or her hair colour.

    Lauper is set to take the Pyramid Stage in just a few minutes - so we'll get confirmation on the hair colour imminently.

    The sun is shining and the singers – well, they are a singin’. What more could you ask for on the fourth full day of Glastonbury?

    One small set you might be looking forward to when the sun does eventually start fall behind the horizon and and a sky full of stars (sorry, we couldn’t resist) opens up is Coldplay taking the main stage - that'll be happening at 21:45 BST.

    Some of you may still be recovering from Dua Lipa’s breathless choreography when she took the Pyramid Stage last night, or maybe you were one of the many who crowded out the Sugababes afternoon set (so busy, apparently, a one in, one out policy was quickly enforced!)

    If you missed any of that, you can read the review of Dua Lipa’s act here from our correspondents, who will once again be ensuring today that we don’t miss a beat.

    As we did yesterday, we’ll be running live streams of the main stages at the top of the page (you can follow that by pressing the Watch Live button above).

    So while you might not have managed to snag tickets to this year’s Glasto, you’ll be able to take in the vibes from a distance, and notably with more convenient access to showers.

    Wow, Friday at Glastonbury 2024 certainly didn't disappoint.

    Pop megastar Dua Lipa topped tonight's party at Worthy Farm with her energetic headline set.

    But elsewhere Jungle, LCD Soundsystem, PJ Harvey, Idles, Olivia Dean, Jamie XX, Sugababes brought the festival to life.

    And that's just the start.

    We'll be back here tomorrow for Little Simz, Michael Kiwanuka, Keane, Disclosure and the Streets, as well as a little-known band called Coldplay (anyone heard of them?) who are headlining Saturday night.

    For those of you in the UK, you can watch all the acts back on BBC iPlayer, where the festival will be streamed all weekend.

    Today's coverage was brought to you by myself, Johanna Chisolm and Jamie Whitehead, as well as our reporters at Glastonbury.

    Wall-to-wall hits, with barely a pause for breath and a fireworks budget to rival tomorrow night’s headliners Coldplay.

    Before the show, she said she wanted to turn Glastonbury into a nightclub, and for 1 hour 45 minutes she kept her promise.

    Familiar hits were given club reworking, and the sub-bass rattled the foundations of the Pyramid stage.

    Dua mentioned several times how she had manifested this moment - writing down a promise to herself six years ago that she would play this time slot at this festival.

    And it feels like she can’t have been far away from achieving every single moment of that childhood dream.

    It’ll be a hard act to follow.

    Dua says "this has been unbelievable" and "the maddest night of my life".

    Her last song is Houdini off her new album Radical Optimism.

    Fireworks shoot in the air as her set closes.

    "This has been a massive dream come true," she says, before adding "Glastonbury I love you".

    Dua’s singing Happy For You - the closing track of her latest album, Radical Optimism.

    It’s a track about seeing an ex move on, and feeling content rather than resentful… a big change from the bitter break-up songs on her first album.

    Powered by a syncopated backbeat, it’s one of the rockiest songs in her catalogue - and really suits the rasp in her voice.

    A great set closer before the encore.

    This has been the maddest night of my life. A dream come true. People as far as I can see. Thank you.”

    Dua’s musical influences have clearly been a huge part of tonight’s set - she’s paid homage to disco, rave culture and psychedelic rock.

    She’s made no secret of her love of Elton John so of course we expected her rendition of Cold Heart to be pretty special.

    Elton performed it without her when he headlined last year and she did the same tonight - albeit with a host of dancers to provide a huge sing-along moment with the audience.
