Glastonbury Festival 2024‘s grand opening with its first-ever opening drone show has now come to an end – watch footage of the show below.Last night (June 26), Glastonbury held its first-ever drone show, which took place ahead of its regular fireworks display, to open the 2024 festival at Worthy Farm.The drone show is just one of the few new additions to this year’s festival, as it usually opens with a traditional fireworks display which occurs roughly around 11pm on the opening day of Glastonbury for early arrivals.

Fans typically gather around on the legendary hill by the park stage to catch a view of the light show.For the opening show, Glastonbury enlisted 576 drones – per the BBC – for a stunning display above the festival grounds.

The drones first took on the shape of the festival’s old logo, which sees three people with their arms interlinked. It then transformed into a phoenix, before turning into a depiction of the iconic Pyramid Stage, the Glastonbury name and a peace sign among others.Below, you can check out footage and pictures of the drone show and fireworks display from fans on the hallowed Worthy Farm grounds.Drone show over Glastonbury Festival @glastonbury pic.twitter.com/VRP3zQr9Rp— Lisa Morris (@LisaMorris42) June 26, 2024Wow!.
