Lauren Laverne and Jack Saunders kick off the long weekend’s coverage, telling us how magical the first couple of days on site have been before looking ahead to headliners Arctic Monkeys, Guns N’ Roses, Elton John and Lizzo. It’s that time of year again when all that we ticketless losers can do is watch Glasto on the telly. Someone there has seven ponds in their back yard!
