One of the world's largest music festivals starts today and it's a complete mud bath
Though Glastonbury's entertainment won't start until this Friday, June 24, people began arriving as early as yesterday, June 21. This man carried his belongings in a wheelbarrow and dodged puddles of mud to get there.
Due to heavy rain, Worthy Farm was already soaked on June 21.
This part of the site is completely waterlogged.
But that hasn't discouraged hordes of music fans from turning up. Here's a crowd of festival-goers arriving on June 22 in rainproof clothing to see acts like headliners Adele, Muse, and Coldplay perform later this week.
Some people are less enthusiastic about the miserable weather, though.
These festival-goers came prepared wearing wellington boots and their hoods up.
Many attendees are having to push their belongings through muddy fields, and surely regret packing heavily for the five-day festival.
These festival-goers have resorted to wheeling their wrapped-up belongings right through the soggy fields.
Meanwhile, some people are carrying their things on their heads to avoid the sludge, like this man...
...and this festival-goer, who seems a lot happier to be at Glastonbury.
Like many others, this man cycling through slippery fields is covered in mud.
Despite the wet weather, the festival will go on. As well as music, hundreds of on-site food stalls and traders will be there to offer refreshment and merchandise.
It's not just the site that's a mess. Traffic leading up to the event has also been a nightmare due to the wet conditions, with the queue time as long as seven hours to get into the festival grounds, the BBC reports.

Though the weather is looking brighter this weekend, according to The Independent, more rain — and mud — is also on the way. So Glastonbury attendees might want to keep their umbrellas handy.
