The rain soon turned to sunshine as the Glastonbury festival got into full swing on Friday, with over 100,000 people pitching their tents to see acts like REM, Electric Six, the Darkness and Fatboy Slim.
David Gray's festival memories
David Gray took to the Pyramid stage on the opening night. He's a big fan of the festival, and he remembers his first time:
"Right let's get in! We just went through the hedge, never paid, there was no security fence in those days. We walked down, and we didn't realise we were actually in until the Main stage, so that was my first Glasto."
But he admits things have changed quite a bit since then:
"Everything's a bit more corporate and tied up and sensible, and you've got to watch this and watch that, and watch you don't get people crushed, which is all very good, but it's meant cramping down on the sort of Glasto style, which is 'let it all hang out.'"
Junior Senior big up the atmos
Junior Senior performed in the New Tent. They hail from Denmark, and they reckon the Glasto atmosphere reminds them of home:
"It's, like, always very positive. We have a festival in Denmark called the Roskilde festival, and people always compare these two to be very similar in the vibe, and very well organised, and I think we know what it's about. It's nice."
Glasto a religion for Royksopp
Royksopp did a set on the Other Stage and Sven told Radio 1 he wasn't quite sure what to expect from the festival:
"Well, I had this strange notion but now I think I've been proven wrong. I had this feeling that there was this religious kind of thing, but 'mud' is probably the main thing that strikes me when I hear Glastonbury."
Fatboy - just a part of the furniture
Glastonbury may be a new experience for many performers this year, but Fatboy Slim admits he's become a Dance Tent veteran.
Norman told us that this time around his chats with organiser Emily Eavis were no different to all the others:
"Every year they always have this thing about, 'Will we get the licence?' and the people objecting, and I'm like, 'You'll get the licence.'"
"Then she's like, 'We got the licence!' and I'm like, 'Can I play?' and she's like, 'Well, you're part of the furniture now.'"
Performers are punters too...
A lot of the bands are making the most of their Glasto appearance by hanging around for most of the weekend to check out other acts.
Tim from the Polyphonic Spree can't wait to see his mates The Flaming Lips tonight (Saturday).
Idlewild were happy to see Mogwai yesterday (Friday) - this year marks singer Roddy's eighth time at the festival.
He's performed at Glasto with Idlewild four times, but also camped with his mates four times as well back when he was a teenager.
