It doesn’t officially start until Friday (June 24), but thousands of music fans who have arrived at Glastonbury early have been greeted by muddy conditions.
Although conditions are set to improve according to the latest weather forecast, days of heavy showers have left many of the camping fields saturated.
As Gigwise's continues our countdown to the official start, we thought we'd look at some of the muddiest festivals of all time – from Glastonbury to Bestival and beyond.
Gigwise will be coming live from Glastonbury all week. Check out gigwise.com for all the latest news, reviews, interviews and photos.
