Despite the gates having opened two days ago, today marks the first official day of performances at the 2023 Glastonbury Music Festival, and is set to hopefully answer long-running rumours for this year’s event - who on earth are The Churnups?

With Arctic Monkeys set to headline the Pyramid Stage this evening, there’s an incredible amount of hype surrounding that slot between 6:15pm and 7:30pm after months of speculation. Could it be the rumoured favourites Foo Fighters or Pulp, or will it be someone completely different? Our money is still on Limp Bizkit though and holding out hope.

Other highlights include if Royal Blood will relent from flipping off the crowd this time around as they take to the stage after The Churnups play; the duo infamously walked off stage after a performance at Radio 1’s Big Weekend last month, but in subsequent interviews stated that they thought people would get the joke. 

Meanwhile, the ‘00s music renaissance continues on the Other Stage, with The Hives set to perform around lunchtime, followed by ‘Cool Britannia’ outfit The Lightning Seeds, with recent electronic music extraordinaire Fred Again… and Carly Rae Jepsen some of the other highlights from that stage.

So the big question on the first full day of Glastonbury 2023 is; what are the set time clashes between the Pyramid Stage and the Other Stage?
