Guns N' Roses will make their highly-anticipated debut performance at Glastonbury on Saturday, as they headline the festival's iconic Pyramid stage. The rockers, comprised of the original line-up of Axl Rose, Slash, and Duff McKagan, reunited in 2015 and are expected to perform classics such as "Paradise City", "Sweet Child O' Mine", and "Welcome To The Jungle". Other notable acts scheduled to perform on Saturday include Lana Del Rey, Christine and The Queens, Rina Sawayama, Loyle Carner, Mahalia, Lewis Capaldi, and Lizzo.
The festival's fourth day, which is held in Somerset, will also feature film screenings, theatre and circus performances, and an event titled "Demystifying Publishing," hosted by Stormzy's publishing imprint Merky Books. Shadow net zero secretary Ed Miliband is also set to appear at the festival, where he will speak about climate action in the political arena.
Glastonbury festival-goers have been blessed with warm and dry weather so far, reaching a high of 28.1°C on Friday. Despite a cloudy start to Saturday, the Met Office has assured that temperatures will remain high, reaching around 25-26°C and feeling "quite warm, humid and muggy."
Friday saw a packed day of music at Worthy Farm, with Arctic Monkeys closing out the evening and surprise appearances from Foo Fighters, Hozier, and actress Cate Blanchett. The Sheffield rockers had previously faced concerns that they would not be able to perform due to frontman Alex Turner's acute laryngitis, but despite minimal crowd interaction, the band delivered a smash selection of songs. Meanwhile, Foo Fighters gave their first performance at the festival since 2017 in a surprise set, dedicating their final song to their late drummer Taylor Hawkins.
The fourth day of Glastonbury promises to deliver even more surprises, with The Pretenders and Rick Astley both expected to perform. It's safe to say that the festival has been nothing short of amazing, with a diverse lineup of talented artists, beautiful weather, and plenty of memorable moments.
