The first day of the festival is a typically action-packed affair, so here are highlights, plus a full schedule of how the day will play out across the main stages.

Friday's must-see sets

Myles Smith (Woodsies, 12.45pm)

Capping of an incredible year, BRIT Rising Star winner Myles Smith will be taking to the Woodsies stage in the early afternoon.

Bringing his incredibly catchy – and perfect for crowd-singing – tracks including Nice to Meet You and Stargazing, this will get you in a great mood for the weekend ahead.

Secret Set (Pyramid Stage, 4.55pm)

Secret sets at Glastonbury are nothing new – but for an act to take an hour-long core spot in the middle of the main Pyramid Stage, right before Alanis Morissette, means it's going to be someone — and something — big.

Rumours have swirled around who this mystery artist could be, with theories ranging from Ed Sheeran – who has had several festival pop-ups throughout this year – to Lewis Capaldi, whose last appearance in 2023 triggered a flare-up of his Tourette's and a two-year absence from the spotlight.

Speaking to RT, BBC Radio DJ Jo Whiley said: “Rumours are swirling about Haim, Lorde and Pulp. I’ve had some very encouraging conversations with them on my radio show and I’d say the signs are looking good for a Worthy Farm visit from each of them. If that happens these will all be part of my must-see performances:

We'll have to wait and see but we guarantee it won't be one to miss."

En Vogue (West Holts Stage, 5.30pm)

This iconic 90s band is still going strong and guaranteed to get you dancing as the evening kicks in on Friday.

Anita Rani told us: "I’m very excited about En Vogue – as well as discovering hidden gems in magical little corners."

Alanis Morissette (Pyramid Stage, 6.15pm)

With a 30-year career and stunning back catalogue, the Canadian singer promises to bring a set full of classics. Ironic, One Hand in My Pocket, Everything, You Learn and Thank U are all expected additions to the set list.

The 1975 (Pyramid Stage, 10.15pm)

As the first headliner of the weekend, it's up to Matty Healy and co. to set the tone for the weekend ahead, but the I'm In Love With You stars are known for their electric live shows – and on-stage antics. With one of the biggest stages in the UK at their disposal and thousands watching, we're sure this is going to be one not to miss.
