Though forecasters are predicting the weather will be better than last year’s mudbath, substantial showers fell on the site last night and light rain is forecast for later on today.

Festival-goers also suffered delays getting on to the Somerset site when a fire broke out in a nearby scrapyard, causing the nearby A37 to be closed.

Acts set to perform later on today include Franz Ferdinand, Edwyn Collins, John Cale and The Blockheads, while Kings Of Leon will also headline the Pyramid Stage.
