But, if haven't been lucky enough to get a ticket, never fear because lots of the festival's top performances will be shown on the Â鶹ԼÅÄ.

Newsround's here with all the acts you need to watch out for in the next couple of days.

Stormzy will be the first British rapper to headline Glastonbury

Stormzy is going to become the first British rapper to ever headline the festival when he takes to the main Pyramid stage on Friday night.

The Croydon-born grime star comes to Glastonbury off the back of his first number one hit, Vossi Bop.

Critics have questioned whether the 25-year-old, who has only released one album, is ready for the headline slot but Stormzy has said he's "going to show the world exactly why I managed to get here".

The other two headliners at the festival are American rock band The Killers, and English punk band The Cure.

The Cure, who are returning to the main stage for the first time since 1995, will equal a Glastonbury record held by Coldplay, who have headlined the event four times.

You might not know much about Janet Jackson and Lauryn Hill but they're some of the best selling RnB stars of all time.

Janet Jackson is the sister of Michael Jackson. In a career spanning 30 years, she's sold over 100 million records worldwide and at one point was the highest paid recording artist of all time.

Her Saturday afternoon slot will be the first time she's performed in the UK since 2008.

The often mysterious singer and rapper Lauryn Hill is celebrating the 20th anniversary of her debut album, The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill, on Friday evening.

The album, which won a massive five Grammy awards when it came out, is credited as being a huge influence on stars like Drake, Beyonce and Cardi B.

There's no doubt the work of Jackson and Hill influenced the music of this year's breakout star, Lizzo.

The American singer, who recently performed at the MTV Movie and TV Awards, is playing the West Holts stage on Saturday afternoon.

A special mention to Grammy nominated star Jorja Smith, who is playing The West Holts stage on Friday night.
