Title: What's the traffic looking like?
Content: It may still be early, but traffic is starting to build up around the site - particularly on the A361 which runs through Pilton itself.
Many side roads near the A361 and A37 are closed throughout the duration of the festival, with temporary traffic lights in place to control the huge influx of arrivals to this normally sleepy part of rural Somerset.

National Express is running coaches to the festival gates from more than 90 locations across the UK.
Meanwhile Bike to Glasto encourages festival-goers to cycle to Worthy Farm and have their luggage collected and transported for a small fee.

The day is finally upon us - Glastonbury 2025 is here!
In just a short while the gates will be officially thrown open and hundreds of thousands of people will start flooding into the pop-up city that has been created in the heart of Pilton, Somerset.
While some of Glastonbury's most dedicated festival-goers have queued through the night, today will see tens of thousands of ticket-holders (and their tent trolleys) roll into Worthy Farm.
We'll be here with you throughout the morning to bring you the magical moments as the festival officially opens, as well as what the weather has in store and how people are making their way to the famous site.
There will even be a chance for you to get involved, but more on that a bit later.
