Let us know in the comments, who are you looking forward to watching on TV? And if you're lucky going - what are you most excited about?

Who is playing Glastonbury this year?

Dua Lipa and Coldplay are both down as headliners this year

Glastonbury always has three big headliners, which end each day of the festival with a huge performance on the main stage. This year's are Coldplay, Dua Lipa and SZA.

There's also a slot which goes to a musical 'legend' - someone who has been in the music industry for a while and has a lot of respect. This year it's Shania Twain.

There are also pop musicians like Olivia Dean, Anne-Marie and Camilla Cabello, bands including Jungle, Bombay Bicycle Club and Two Door Cinema Club, and other big names include Little Simz, Cyndi Lauper, LCD Soundsystem and Arlo Parks.

They've had some big performers in the past, such as Elton John and Paul McCartney.

What else happens at Glastonbury festival?

There's not just music at Glastonbury - there's also all sorts of other performances, classes, experiences and things to do.

There's a huge kids section too, with music lessons, a big climbing wall and lots of craft activities.

The festival is also famous for its pledge to sustainability. People have been told not to bring gazebos, because they take up a lot of space on the camp, and because they often end up being left behind.

Glastonbury flags

One thing you'll see on the TV - or in person if you're lucky enough to go - is all the flags at Glastonbury.

Every year, people bring big flags from whichever country they've come from. Some people bring personalised flags to try and spot their friends in the crowd, as well as football club flags and Pride flags.

Tattoos for charity

Temporary tattoos like this one will be available at the festival

Musicians at the festival have designed temporary tattoos to raise awareness for the water charity, Water Aid.

These are going to be given out at water points and toilets around the festival.

Water Aid helps people get access to clean water in places where there isn't enough.
