Morning campers! Glastonbury revellers take cold outdoor showers and cook breakfasts as thousands of music fans descend on world-famous Worthy Farm festival

• It comes as organisers confirmed the Arctic Monkey’s would still be performing  

Spirits were high this morning as Glastonbury revellers crawled out of their tents to tuck into cooked breakfasts and take cold outdoor showers as they prepared enjoy day jammed-full of performances by some of music’s greats.

Thousands of music fans camping out on the sprawling Worthy Farm in Somerset, woke up to good news today after the festival’s co-organiser Emily Eavis confirmed this morning that the Arctic Monkeys would be headlining on the Pyramid Stage tonight.

The group’s much anticipated performance was thrown in doubt earlier in the week after the band cancelled its performance in Dublin due to sickness.

But festival-goers minds were put at ease when Ms Eavis confirmed ‘they’re on’, adding ‘it was a little bit close there for a minute and we were thinking about whether we should have a serious back-up plan in place, but no, thankfully they’re on’.

Happy campers were treated to dry weather over night with temperatures expected to hit 25C during the day today, according to the Met Office.

Many festivalgoers were seen enjoying their breakfast outdoors basking in the warm morning weather, while others braved the cold water stripping down to their underwear to shower.

In a statement, a spokesperson for the national weather service said: ‘The weather is set fair for much of the weekend at Glastonbury Festival with only a small chance of a shower.

‘Friday and Saturday should see a good deal of dry, bright weather with some sunny spells, albeit hazy at times, with highs in the mid-20s, with some warm nights to follow once the sun goes down.

‘Sunday will see some warm sunshine at first, though a few showers are possible through the afternoon, though these will be hit and miss in nature.

‘Conditions look set to freshen up from Monday as temperatures fall closer to average.’

Ahead of the Arctic Monkeys, Carley Rae Jepson, Maisie Peters and Sparks will perform with Hozier confirming he will be one of the surprise acts performing at the festival this Friday evening.

Posting on social media this morning, he wrote: ‘Thrilled to announce I’ll be playing @glastofest again in a not-so-secret set this evening (Friday). See you at 7.30pm, WoodSIES stage.’
