Tens of thousands of people are expected at the green-field
music festival held in southwest England, where Adele, Coldplay
and Muse are among the headline performers over the weekend.
"The current wet weather and ground conditions are still causing
heavy traffic congestion around the ... site. But we're pleased
to report that the picture is improving," organizers said on the
festival's official "glastofest" Instagram page.
"Our advice for those yet to set off by car/campervan is still
to remain where you are for the time being, please ... The
longer you leave it the less you will have to queue."
Those who had arrived at the Worthy Farm site in Somerset lugged
belongings through muddy fields and set up tents on wet ground.
The festival runs until Sunday.
