Glastonbury 2022 got underway earlier today (June 22).The festival gates opened at Worthy Farm at 8am this morning, with festival organiser Eavis and her dad Michael on hand to welcome in the first ticketholders.Speaking to Lauren Laverne on her BBC Radio 6 Music Breakfast Show today, Eavis reflected on the unusually long build-up to the 2022 festival after Glastonbury’s 2020 and 2021 editions were both cancelled as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.“I’m still recovering, because the build-up has just been so long,” she told Laverne. “We’ve never had a build-up as long as this, obviously.
