Hello, it's Greg James. And Jack Saunders. And who have we just seen? We've just seen Lorde and We Can Die Happy now. We've just seen the best pop star in the world and that was great. So thanks for listening to the Glastonbury show today. Let's start with the very first bit of the show.

Radio One Breakfast with Greg James. Live from Glastonbury. Glastonbury! I want to see you clapping now. One, two, three, go! Good morning from the greatest festival on earth.

This is Greg James from Worthy Farm. I've only been here a few hours and I wasn't even shouting last night and already I've lost my voice. Is that just a thing that... That's just a thing that happens. Maybe I'm not used to the clear Somerset air. I'm used to the pollution of London. It does funny things to me, the countryside. It makes me feel too well.

So welcome to The Breakfast Show. From the centre of Glastonbury, I can see the Pyramid Stage out the window here of our studio. It's a beautiful, sunny morning. It's early. The site is very quiet. The farm is very quiet. Just a few tractors going around and a few of the toilets being emptied before everyone gets up and starts the day when all the big stages start this morning. They start at lunchtime as well.

And we've got a big, big show for you. Got onto site last night about 7.30 and I had to sweet talk a lovely lady called Anne to get me from the car park to see BBC News presenter Roz Atkins do his drum and bass set, which is a very strange sentence to say. But big up Anne, who went, OK, yeah, I'm sure we can do that.

So she drove me as quickly as she could. There's a five mile per hour site-wide speed limit. And we got there just. So that was quite a nice way to dive into the festival. Being on stage with drum and bass legend Chrissy Criss, who thrust me the mic and went, off you go then. I went, what? So we're going to have a really fun morning. We're going to have Miles Smith joining us. Sam Ride is going to pop in. Roz Atkins is going to be here as well.

We're going to do a big Glastoway as well. We're going to get loads of people onto the studio site as well throughout the whole show. It's basically going to be amazing. Let's begin. Radio One's all-day breakfast. Never done the breakfast show from Glastonbury. In fact, as I was walking here this morning, my commute to work passed the pyramid stage, which is a mad thing. Very, very exciting to have this as your workplace. I don't think I've ever done a radio show from here.

It's normally because I'm just having a nice time here. But it's great to finally get to do one. And we're going to give it the beans this morning. Jack, introduce the next bit. It's a quiz. It's yesterday's quiz. Yes, it's yesterday's quiz and you will enjoy it. BBC Radio 1. And okay, let's go with yesterday's quiz, the final. Do I have an Evie? Yes. Morning, Greg. Do I have a Becky? Yes.

Yes, you do. Good morning. We're beaming you live onto the sites here at Glastonbury. And good morning, Evie. What a week on yesterday's quiz. Loved it this week. Have you been proud of your team? Yeah, I've really been proud. Every morning, tuning in.

Were you a little bit worried that you were going to get beaten to the final because you've made it back in, but only just? Yeah, I was quite worried. And what did you make of Becky yesterday? Sort of out of nowhere, she's the one who said she came back from Ibiza a little bit sort of staggering around and then got 15 and is in the lead now. Yeah, I think she had quite easy questions though, Greg. Oh, you know. What do you say to that, Becky?

Yeah, it's just excuses, isn't it? She's so competitive, this one. Yeah, you can tell. But that's what friends are for. This is showing off a perfect friendship, really, where you just have a go at each other the whole time. That's what it's all about. So Bella and Jess, the sisters, have fallen by the wayside. But have you had a good week so far, Evie? You haven't regretted deciding to come on to yesterday's quiz? No, no, it's been great fun. Give us your song choice then. If you win today, Evie, what's it going to be?

Pencil Full of Lead by Paolo Nottini. Strong choice. A Glastonbury favourite, Paolo Nottini, over the years. And what about Becky? What are you going for? I'm Not Alone by Calvin Harris. Again, a really good one. Let's do the final of yesterday's quiz. So it is Becky versus Evie. If Becky wins, we get Calvin Harris, I'm Not Alone. If Evie wins, we get Paolo Nottini, Pencil Full of Lead.

As a side note, Kyle says, Greg, do you realise, you know, you're talking about Jeff Goldblum using the same line on every person he meets. You Goldblum the quiz team every single week telling them that you've really enjoyed it. That's because I've really enjoyed it though. And I have, I have actually really enjoyed it. So please, Evie and Becky, believe me. Question number one. Oh, do we have some dingers? Thank you. Got a bit of nightmare if we forgot to bring the dingers to Glastonbury. Hey, did you bring the dingers? Yeah, I brought the dingers. Don't worry.

Question number one for Becky. Fans started receiving vinyl copies of the new album Virgin. From which, what was that singer? Oh my God. Olivia Rodrigo? No, it's Lorde. Oh gosh. Evie. It was the 18-year anniversary of Miley Cyrus' first album, but what fictional Disney pop star did she play? Hannah Montana. Correct. Becky, back with you. Manchester City played Juventus in the FIFA Club World Cup, but who won?

They did. You're in the points. Evie. Lando Norris said he needs to make fewer mistakes in his next race, but which Formula One team does he drive for? McLaren. Correct. Becky. Question three. Emma Stone attended the premiere of her new movie, which also stars Joaquin Phoenix. But what does a phoenix sound like? Good. Yeah, I don't know what the answer is, to be honest, but I just wanted you to make a silly noise. But I liked...

So we'll give you a point for that. Evie, five orphan seal pups were returned to the sea after receiving treatment in Cheshire. Make a noise like a healthy seal pup. No, that's really good. I can verify that's a good one. Becky, it was Jacob Elordi's birthday. Which teen drama did he star in with Zendaya? Euphoria. Euphoria is correct. Evie, it was Ariana Grande's birthday. But which actor did she star opposite in the movie Wicked? Cynthia Eriva. Correct.

Vogue. Vogue is correct. Evie, this one to win. Glastonbury. You're saying Glastonbury. That is the correct answer, Evie. You've won the quiz. Congratulations.

Thank you. That is a captain's innings. Very well played. Becky, there was a real opportunity there to school her. My mind went completely blank. I love that song as well. What, the Lord one? Yeah, I don't know what was going on there. It happens. Look, quizzing at the highest level is very, very difficult and that's what you've been trying to do today. But thank you. Thank you for being on this week, Becky. It wasn't to be, but Evie, nice work.

Thank you, Greg. I'm particularly very pleased. Yeah, you should be pleased. The captain sees it through and we play your winning track now. Paola Nettini, pencil full of lead. Great one for a Friday. Thank you. Bye-bye. Bye. Have a great weekend.

So on Thursdays, we usually do a thing called Thursday. We did Glastonbury. And that's now. Radio One at Glastonbury. In front of me, I have three people who are questioning their life choices, which I really, really like. Yesterday on The Breakfast Show, we said, if anyone's on site, we're going to be there nice and early. If you want to take part in some fun stuff for The Breakfast Show, let us know. And these people got in touch. And this morning, they have just walked into the studio and gone...

Does anyone have any water? Do you have water here? It is like you found a thriving community in The Last of Us and we've got supplies. So yeah, you're very welcome. You're safe here from the zombies. And welcome Emily, Immy and Lachlan to The Breakfast Show. How are you?

Good. Yeah, yeah. Good, just about. Now, you all walked in a minute ago as winning participants on The Breakfast Show, and I assumed you were all friends because you seemed like you were all getting on, but you are individuals. Strangers, yeah. You're strangers. Complete strangers. But now Glastonbury friends. But that's the glorious thing about Glastonbury, Loughlin, isn't it? That's the nice thing. You do meet friends and you just have random nights out with people and all the rest of it. What was your night last night? Tell me. Uh,

quite a lot. The Dusty Flyers Club ended in San Marino when the lights came up. It was good fun. Yeah, it's good. It's always a bit of fun to be found. And Amy, what about you? Who are you here with this weekend? What's been going on? Um...

Well, we were in Glade until quite late last night. Good. But I'm here with my cringe ass. Nice. And did you... Because actually, Thursday night is actually a really great night at Glastonbury because there's no main stage or anything and everyone's just going off to find their little pocket of fun somewhere. And you found some fun. Oh, I found some fun. That's good. For sure. Emily, what about you? How are you feeling today? Feeling fresh. Feeling fresh. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Getting ready for today. What's on the list for today? Lucy Dacker, C-Map. Yeah, nice. Excited for a lot. That's going to be really, really good. And yeah, Lachlan, what are you going for? Have you got a little list of things you want to see today? I do. It's all saved on my app. Okay. It's all there. Good. It's all on the app. And Amy, what about you? What's the first port of call? Oh, Rizzle Kicks. Okay. What time are they on? One. One-ish. Okay, great. Yeah, from the day off.

We're going to do a Glastonbury bit now. And yesterday, I essentially sacked the breakfast team because they weren't up to scratch. So we're going to need you to really give it the beans. So imagine that it's still Thursday night. We're going to keep it going. We're going to play Fatboy Slim right here, right now. And we've got a load of great voice notes. Whenever you hear them do away, we need you to join in. So here we go with the first. Let's kick off with Holly. I'm Holly.

I'm from Australia. I'm about to eat a kebab and I'm excited to see Emma on the Sniffers, obviously. It's a strong start from Aussie Holly. These are all collected at Glastonbury. Here we go. I'm just off on my way to work because I didn't manage to get a ticket. Oh, well. Glastonbury. Let's have another. I'm Mega. Anisha. I'm Basida. Tamara. And we're out!

Hello, I'm Izzy and I'm seven and I'm going to Glastonbury. Imagine being seven and going to your first Glastonbury. That's a good life, isn't it? Ready for another day at Glastonbury.

As you can hear, I've lost my voice. That's a ray! Megan! Hi, my name's Megan. I'm loving the sunshine. I'm so excited for Prodigy, Charli XCX and every DJ that's here. I'm so excited. It's so good. I love it. Whey! I had a blast at Green Garden Party with all my friends this weekend. Whey! Let's go again. Hi, it's River and I met Nia Archives earlier. Whey!

Not sure how to play this one. Living it up in my tent in Glastonbury. Divorce is going through. Oh. Yeah, I mean, essentially it's good, isn't it? You know, it's for the best, you know. It's Glastonbury and my 10-year anniversary.

with my fiancee! Nice one, Carl. Enjoy it. I mentioned earlier this week that Fatboy Slim, a Glastonbury icon, really, is playing his 100th set this weekend at the festival. And Susannah, who works on the breakfast team, looked at me when I said that and went, how is that possible? I was like, no, it's not one a year. He's not over 100. He

He plays multiple sets per year. But yeah, Fatboy Slim is playing today somewhere. He's playing like four sets this weekend, I think. But yeah, that is the Camel Fat remix of Right Here, Right Now. Sounding amazing on Friday's Breakfast Show. Some great ways. Thank you for weighing. Let's go again. We've got some more. Maisie. I'm guessing a new kitten this weekend. Gaston Way. Wee!

What's up, Kate? Hi, I'm Kate. I'm from Newcastle. I'm so excited to see Charlie XCX because we're at summer, of course. Of course. We're here. Glastonbury. I'm not going Glastonbury, but I'm going to Skeggy with the boys. We're here. We're here. We're here. Going Skeggy with the boys. I am moving house this weekend and I'll be listening to Glastonbury all the time to pretend that I'm there. Glastonbury.

Great, Amy, have you got one for us and we'll do a big wave for you? Yeah. I'm at Glastonbury for the first time, I've had three hours sleep and I'm ready to go again. And also, it gets very light very early, doesn't it? If you're trying... I've got a blackout mask. I'm so prepped. She's not stupid. Lachlan, what about you? Give us one. I'm Lachlan, I'm at Glastonbury for the first time, I'm rough as toast and looking forward to see Biffy Clarke. Yay! Yay!

I got distracted because you said Biffy Clyro. We need to talk about Biffy. That is going to be such a moment later. I cannot wait. I sort of want to go out there. As soon as this show finishes, just go and sit and get a good spot for it. It's a good run from Alanis into Biffy into 1975. That's going to be pretty special later. Have you seen Biffy before? At Tea in the Park a long time ago. Tea in the Park. Shout out Tea in the Park. I think we can hoo Tea in the Park these days, can't we?

That's going to be very, very special later. And we have made a pact on the breakfast team that it is tops off. Taps off? It's taps off, I'm afraid. You'll be familiar with that, being Scottish. I am, yes. So the taps off for the boys on stage who've got their tops off is the least we can do, I think. And Emily, what about your way? What should we do? I'm Emily. I'm really excited to see Charlie XCX for the fourth time at Glasso. Good to see you.

So have you been there since day one with Charli XCX? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I've seen her twice at Glastonbury before on like smaller stages. So I'm really excited to see her on the other stage. It's amazing that it's...

It's taken sort of 15 years for the world to catch on. She deserves it. Yeah, she's earned it. She really has earned it. So do you think there's a lot of speculation that this might be the end of Bratt's summer today? Maybe. She has hinted at it and I respect the ending. All good things must come to an end. That's true. Well, Immy, Lachlan and Emily, thanks so much for being on The Breakers Show this morning and thank you for dragging yourselves away from your pit of despair to be here. I hope you have an amazing weekend and Lachlan, see you at Biffy. Yeah.

And thank you for being on. I'll give you a big old dust and break. Thanks, guys. There's been an amazing narrative with this guy called Roz Atkins, who is the BBC's...

Editor of analysis. Is this the man who did the drummer bass set? Yeah. Yes. Very good. Let's get into all this. Radio One Breakfast at Glastonbury. Roz, good morning. Morning, Greg. What a story this has been. What a story. It's been quite exciting for me, I have to say. Oh.

We've all shared in your excitement. And I made it just in time last night to watch a bit of your incredible show that you put on. So you did three hours basically last night. Yeah, we did three and a half hours. A takeover, if you like, in the Stonebridge tent in the park area of the site. And...

The idea was that I would see how many big name drum and bass DJs and big name DJs who play other tunes as well could come along and do a 15 minute set. So I DJ for a while. Then Danny Howard from Radio One came on for 15 minutes. Then I DJ for a while and then others came in too. We had Charlie T from Radio One. Legends of drum and bass like DJ Rap, Kenny Ken, Chrissy Chris.

And then we didn't announce this one in advance, but we had Andy Cato from Groove Armada doing a 15 minute drum and bass set as well. So they were doing their thing and I was doing my best to keep up in between. It was so good. It was an amazing atmosphere in that tent. So we got onto site at about 7.30. And then I mentioned at the start of the show that I basically, I begged a lovely woman called Anne.

to drive me from the car park in her buggy to the park area because I went, I'm never going to make it. And my friend, Roz Atkins, is doing a DJ set and I said I'd go and help him. She went, come on then, love, let's get you there. Amazing. And she drove me at five miles per hour because that's the site speed limit to the park area and I got there just in time. I was going to say, because when you're DJing, normally you do it in hour blocks or an hour and a half blocks. You have to be aware of the time but not acutely aware of it. Yeah.

this was a bit more choreographed because of all the different sets. So Kenny Ken was doing his thing and I was looking at my watch going, it's 8.42 and Greg's not here yet. I know, I was so annoyed. But then you appeared in the nick of time. I knew as a professional news journalist, timekeeping would be your thing. And I was in the car with my best mate going, oh my God, Rodgers is going to be so cross with me. I was on the A303 going, God damn, there's traffic.

but we got there and it was amazing in there so immediately i saw drum and bass legend chrissy chris who i was just because the back of the stage you come through the little curtain and you are on then you're just there on the stage in front of everybody so i said a quick hello to chrissy chris and also by the way you said kenny ken was there is that how you do a drum and bass name

Is it just Chrissy Chris and Kenny Ken and Greggie Gregg and Rozzy Roz? Is that what it is? Kenny Ken's Chrissy Chris's stepdad. This is unbelievable. And I was talking to Chrissy Chris a couple of days ago and he said, you've got to see these photos. And he had photos of him as a boy at Glastonbury in, I think, 97, 98 with Kenny Ken in the old Glastonbury dance tent. And there's a picture of Chrissy, you know, waist high alongside Kenny Ken with his bar

fast I'm obsessed with this okay Chrissy learned Chrissy learned to mix I don't know how young but very very young he's been he's an absolutely incredible DJ well it was like it was a watching a master at work yesterday because he's got four decks and he's going between all four of them I've never seen anything like it I loved it he's incredible I should say he would love to be here but he's on the school run with his son Jack so he left last night Jackie Jack

Jax. No? No. That's such a shame. You've got to keep it going. That's so annoying. Okay, all the Breakthrough listeners now, if you're texting him for the rest of the show, you need to be a DJ, a drum and bass DJ name. I mean, his son may have a DJ name. I don't know. But I know that as soon as the Rave Machine event was over, Chrissy hung out for a little while and then he had to drive a fair way back home because he had to be up this morning to do the school run with Jax.

Jacksy Jacks. Okay, so we've got Amy Ames, we've got Sophie Soph, who are producing The Breakfast Show today. If your name is Tom, for example, you're just Tommy Tom. So 03700100100. So we got there, and I was thrust a microphone. Who gave me the microphone? That's MC Chickaboo, a legend of the drum and bass scene. She was incredible. I met MC Chickaboo, who was unbelievable, and immediately just went, there you go, Greg, there's the mic. And I panicked, because I literally just got out of the car and just went...

Oi, oi! You looked at home. But it sort of worked, didn't it? And the crowd reaction to you, Ros, when I walked in there, it was a heady atmosphere. Oi, oi! That's what I have to be, yeah! It was so good.

Shall we play the song? Yeah, so this is the song that we've made with the help of all of your listeners, with you, with... I interviewed Emily Evis and she gave us permission to sample the interview as well. So we tried to make a track for Thursday to capture that feeling of Thursday at Glastonbury. Yeah, and Emily Evis actually came along last night, didn't she? She was there at the beginning, yeah, for a little while, which was a very nice surprise. That's the cosign. That means that you've finally arrived at Glastonbury. That means that you are part of this festival, the legacy. If Emily Evis...

who does the line-up and everything. If she comes to co-sign your set, then that's it, Roz. You are in. You're part of the Glastonbury folklore now. This is a big moment. So here we go, then. Thank you for sending all your voice notes in. Chrissy Criss and Roz Atkins and Tersha May on the vocals all went away and made this amazing song called The Festival Is Here. We played it last night in front of the crowd and it was actually very emotional because...

The thing is about Glastonbury, it's one of those weekends, whatever you're doing this weekend, you know, the weekend is all about escaping from whatever you need to escape from. A job that's stressing you out.

a personal thing that's really bugging you or whatever. And when you get to Glastonbury, you leave everything at the door. You leave all of your troubles and your worries at the door and you just go in, you dive in and you have this amazing experience. You meet loads of people, you go and see some of the best artists in the world. And you came up with a song that summarises that perfectly. And we're going to play it now. So this is for everyone who's off to have a weekend to forget about all your worries. I think this sums it up perfectly. This is The Festival Is Here. Glastonbury! Oh!

It's one of my favourite parts, really, is opening the gates and letting everyone run free across the valley. By the Thursday evening of Glastonbury Festival, around 150,000 people have arrived. The waiting is over. The festival is here. I will feel so ecstatic to be there, beyond buzzing. I love you, I love you, I love you.

Sounding amazing this morning. The festival is here by Chrissy Criss, Ross Atkins, Tersha May and Emily Evis and most importantly, the Radio 1 listeners. You're credited on that song. Do they get royalties? I don't know. I'll need to check with your colleagues. Yeah, we need to work that out, don't we? We'll send everyone 10 pence. We won't do that. There were quite a few of them featured there. I don't know if I've talked about it, but it was six, seven, eight of them, I think. OK, well, that's only ATP, isn't it?

All right. Roz Atkins is the BBC News analysis editor and also a drum and bass legend. Famous for verifying things on BBC Verify. Now, I can verify that last night was absolutely banging. Thank you very much. That's what I can verify. What we've asked Roz to do today is do some actual work.

Because DJing is not a real job, and I should know. Now, Ros, what is a real job is journalism. And what you've done is you've done an explainer to verify what BBC Glastonbury is all about, the coverage, and what Glastonbury is all about. So have you got something for us? Yep, so I've got you a two-minute explainer on the history of Glastonbury Festival. Go. Go.

Glastonbury Festival goes back to September 1970. Michael and Jean Evis organised an event called Pilton Pop and Folk and Blues Festival. Tickets were a pound, free milk was available from Worthy Farm and 1,500 people came along. The next year it had a new name, Glastonbury Fair. It was in June, was free with a capacity of 12,000. It also featured a pyramid stage.

Eight years later, 1979, the festival returned, but it lost money and there was no event the year after. But in 1981, once more, it was back. This time, it partnered with the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament and was called Glastonbury Festival. 18,000 people came and there was a new version of the pyramid stage. By the 90s, the festival was a lot bigger and far from everyone who came was buying tickets. In 1994...

The official estimated attendance was 80,000. One unofficial estimate put it at 300,000. This was also the year the pyramid stage burned down, two days before the festival. It would be six years later, 2000, when a new pyramid stage was unveiled. That's the one we know today. But the issue of gate crashes hadn't been resolved. The local council demanded action and Michael Leavis agreed more needed to be done to keep the festival safe.

The following year, there was no festival, but in 2002, it returned with a new fence, which did its job. The number of gate crashes plummeted and around 100,000 ticket holders attended.

In the years since, there's been much to note. Emily Evis has become much more involved in the festival her parents had started. In 2005, a month's worth of rain fell on the first day. In 2008, Jay-Z became the first hip-hop artist to headline. And in 2022, Billie Eilish was the youngest ever solo headliner, Sir Paul McCartney the oldest. Looking ahead, next year is off. It's a fallow year. All the more reason to savour the festival that's going on around us.

Rod Atkins, thank you so much. That was absolutely fantastic. We love you. Thank you for being so fun. Thanks for having me. Thanks for letting us into your world. We hope you've enjoyed ours as well. Very much. Please have me back.

We were joined in the studio by a listener called Jess and her boyfriend Dan, and we then did wrong-ins. Jess, good morning. Good morning, Greg. You're a big 1975 fan. I'm a massive 1975 fan, yeah. Do you know how I know that? How? Because you're wearing a 1975 T-shirt.

So what's your plan later? So obviously you've got to get to the premium stage at some point. When are you going to make a strategic move to get a good spot? Well, I would go now, but everyone on the web said no. So we are going to go quite early. Does the everyone you know said no include Dan, who's sitting next to you? It does.

Hi, Dan. Welcome to The Breakfast Show. Hiya. So you and Dan are an item. We are an item. Oh, my God. So, yeah, Dan, what's your plan for today? What are you going to go and see?

I follow her. You're going to follow her around? I follow her, she's the boss. I think that's right. So Jess, what's on your list apart from 1975? We're just going to kind of chill today and see, have a walk around, maybe see some of the secret acts, see who that's going to be. Yeah, have you seen the thing that appeared on Lorde's Instagram? Is it Lorde's? Well, Lorde has said that she is, well, she's put a thing, she put a photo of an aerial shot of the Woodsy stage. Oh.

And then put 11.30. Okay, we're going there then. We're going there. You're going there, Dan. I'll be there. You're going there. Good. Is it your first Glastonbury, Jess? No, this is my second Glastonbury. Were you here last year? Yeah, I was here last year. Okay. Loved it. And you had to come back for more. I had to come back for more. And what do you do in your real life? I work in marketing. Do you? In real life. And whereabouts? Er,

It's based in Cambridgeshire. Okay, nice. So quite a way away. But you forget about all your troubles and all your worries and all your real life for the weekend. Absolutely. What is work? What is real life? Exactly. So you listen to The Breakthrough Show regularly? I do, yeah. I'm on the way to work every morning. Do you get to hear wrong-uns on a Friday? I do, yeah. Are you up for doing wrong-uns today? I am. I feel like I'm better at it when I'm not.

doing it. Well, we will find out. We're celebrating some amazing radio listeners who are already here on site. And I don't know, I don't think that Emily and Lachlan and Immy from earlier were regretting it, but they definitely went, oh, I don't know if I'd...

Because they volunteered to come and help us out this morning, but yesterday and then this morning they've gone, ooh, actually I feel a little bit dusty. But Jess, you don't regret it? Absolutely not. Fresh face. Very, very nice to have you here. Big 1975 fan. Didn't quite realise how big until I asked you how many times you'd seen them and the answer is... This will be my 11th. Lucky 11 tonight.

Yes, as they say, lucky 11. So when was the first time? So you've seen them all the way through, really? Oh my God, I saw them before. It was like cool to like them. My first gig was 2013, 14.

Okay, so really early days. Yeah, really early days. And you must be proud of your boys tonight. Yeah. It's amazing. I think I'm going to cry. Well, because they've also, I said yesterday on the show that they've been quiet, haven't they? They have. Deliberately mysterious. They have. Have you seen, because I've got a good friend, someone who works at Radio 1 called Layla, who is... I've heard about Layla. Everyone's heard about Layla.

She is the world's... We think the world's biggest 1975 fan. But I don't know, having met you, Leila's seen them 13 times, so she's a little ahead of you. That's so lucky, though, Leila. But 14 tonight, so... Oh, OK. You should have seen them 14 times later. But, yeah, this is the thing. Have you spotted anything? Because I know if you're a proper...

sort of nerdy 1975 fan, you're plugged into their matrix. Have you seen anything surface? I actually haven't seen anything. But then also, I've been staying off social media because I kind of want it to be a bit of a surprise. I did hear they've spent like four times their fee. I read an article. Wow. So I think it's going to be big. They've spent some money on it. Okay, great. I think you need to go and get a good spot around about five o'clock. Yes, we will. We will. We will.

That'll just be, and Dan, that'll just be a nice sort of five hours. Nice five hours waiting for them to come on stage. No problem for me. I've told them we're not allowed to drink water. We've got to stay in the ground. Jess, let's do wrong-uns we need from you. This is Glastonbury wrong-uns. It feels like a game that is made for a festival. Are you a festival wrong-un? Let's see if we get the answer for that. 60 seconds on the clock. A load of stupid questions. All I need from you are wrong answers. Here we go.

Wrong answers only with Jess, live from Glastonbury. Your time starts now. What festival are we at right now? Big weekend. What's the weather like today? It is storming. How does my hair look? Good. Hey! What do you hang from a flagpole? A bottle of water. Who's headlining Glastonbury's main stage tonight?

Cat Slater and Phil Mitchell. What's the relationship between Michael and Emily Evis? They are best friends. What's the fastest animal on earth? A snail. What noise do you make when you get thirsty? Moo. What do the Glastonbury toilets smell like? Delicious. What's your name? Dan. What's my name? Matt Healy. Who is performing a secret set this weekend at Glastonbury? Craig James. Where on your body might you wear a welly boot?

Your ear. How often do they hold the Olympics? Every month. Name an ingredient in a chocolate cake. Banana. Name a common use for a wheelie bin. A bath. And who are you most excited to see this weekend? Can I tell the truth? If you want to lose a point, you can.

Biffy Cairo. Is that a lie? Yeah. Okay, great. That's a wrong answer from you. That's a record score, I think, Jess. Was it? It's really good, yeah. I'm thinking about deducting a point for the hair diss, but that's fine. A panic, sorry. This is sleeping in a tent hair. This is festival hair. Dan, thank you. That's good. You can have a point. Thank you. Okay. So, Jess, you got 17 points.

That was really, really good. Oh, my God. I thought I was going to be re-bad at that. No, you were amazing at it. I'm particularly really excited about Cat Slater on the pre-match stage. That's really good. That used to make me kind of go insane. Yeah, I would as well. Amazing performance today. Thank you so much for being on. In fact, we're going to do all the latest things in a bit. Do you want to stick around for that? Yes, please. We can have a little bit of a good old goss. And then we kept Jess and she co-hosted all the latest things. Radio...

All the latest things, Glastonbury special. And Jess, do you want to join in? Yes, please. All right, so let's go then. We're all here on the farm. We're ready to go for breakfast.

Three more amazing days of live music. So it's all the big stages are opening at lunchtime, basically. People are starting to emerge from their tents this morning. The sun is just about out. There's a little bit cloudy, but it's going to be dry. It's looking dry all weekend, which is great, great news.

People obviously come prepared for this festival. It's important that you look your best while walking around Glastonbury. Festival fashion is a huge thing, Glastonbury glam. A couple of years ago there was this iconic moment, she's known as Roller Girl. And the rollers. What rollers? Are we rollers? I thought you meant the rollers, the wheels or the thing.

I don't know, I just got a curly blue this morning. Yeah, the rollers in her hair. Now, Jess, can you give me your perspective on this, please? Because I've never put rollers in my hair, strangely. I mean, I'd love, actually, I would love to. What's the hair care regime and what are your glam essentials for Glastonbury? I did do rollers last year, but this year I just couldn't, like, it's just not worth it.

Okay, but is there a routine? No. No. Just dry shampoo. Now, interestingly, Dan, your other half is nodding. He's like shaking his head, being like, no, there is a routine. What is the routine? There is a routine. I tried the heatless curlers last night, but they fell out and I got really stressed out and I was just in the tent sweating. I just couldn't do it.

Sometimes you just want a bouncy blow for a festival, don't you? Exactly. Now here's a BBC News interview with a couple more amazing people with rollers in from yesterday. I did go for a curly blow but the humidity has... Pinkers, it's all knotted up now. I need to take them off but I'm trying to get the word out of them.

These are the big issues on site. When you're here, though, how are you maintaining that? A silk bonnet and a hair wrap. Just vibes and prayers, really, for me. It's vibes and silk bonnets. Have you got a silk bonnet? At home, I actually do. I didn't want to ruin my silk.

Next up, some amazing developments courtesy of Radio 2 and BBC Glastonbury coverage is Joe Wiley. Radio legend Joe Wiley. Let me catch you up if you don't know. On Tuesday, I interviewed Benson Boone. I was wearing a sparkly jumpsuit for him because he's famous for wearing them. After the show, I discovered that Joe Wiley had left her Glastonbury suitcase in the room. So I thought, I've got to put the jumpsuit in there.

Jo was tricked into thinking it was an outfit that her stylist had left for her for the festival. I got a voice note from her saying that she was so surprised when she was trying on her outfits and she went, "What the hell is this?" But anyway, after a bit of convincing from me and from her fans and her followers, yesterday she posted... I mean, I'm feeling good. I'm feeling blessed and be ready. Gregory, this is me bringing my own case. I will see you there on the farm. Thanks for supplying the outfit. Cool. She was wearing it down to the farm.

And she looked fantastic. Of course she did. We're going to catch up with Joe Wiley after 9.30 this morning. Now, Jess, I want to talk to you about the posters you've been seeing around sites. Tell me about these. So there's a celebrity lookalike contest for Lewis Capaldi around the site. And the time is when he is rumoured to be the secret set. So we are fingers crossed.

So he's got a new song, which I'm going to play in a second. It came out at midnight. And it's one of those posters where you can rip off the number and say text for more details. Now, I did text for more details. The advert says Celebrity Lookalike Contest 445 Pyramid Stage. Picture of Lewis Capaldi. This is what happens when you message the number. Now, this is a snippet of Lewis's brand new song, Survive, which is out today. Now, look.

We're tired and we might be a little hungover, Jess, but we're not stupid, are we? We are not stupid. We're not stupid. It's got to be him. We know a teaser when we hear one. So we've got new music, a Lewis Capaldi lookalike competition at the Pyramid Stage. Surely he's on later. 2023 was the last time he appeared here. Somebody, somebody, somebody Somebody Just do it all right

This was the moment where you could clearly see him struggling with his Tourette's on stage And this is where the entire crowd finished the song for him Absolute chills whenever I hear that back

He was clearly having quite a tricky time on stage, but his fans and the crowd got him through that. And it does feel right that he would come back here to a place where he feels very welcome and very safe and very, you know, cared for, because he is and we love him. And we've got a new song from Lewis Capaldi, Let's Play It Now. And that will mean that you're up to date with all the latest things. Radio One Breakfast at Glastonbury. How long till it feels...

We had a couple of guests today, Jack. Yeah, Miles Smith is coming up. He's actually about to come out on the Woodsy stage where we're at right now, straight after Lorde. That'll be very good. And here he is from this morning. Radio 1's All Day Breakfast with Great J.

Miles Smith, good morning. Hello, hello. Wow. Probably the first time you've heard that Lewis Capaldi song. It's amazing. Yeah, it's incredible. It's incredible, man. I mean, wow. Just wow. I'm pleased that he is feeling up for releasing music and getting in the studio. And it seems like he's working through his stuff, which is, you know, it's tough, isn't it? It's a tough life on the road. It's really tough. But Lewis is a lovely human being. And, you know, I was up, I think, with the rest of the world as soon as I heard it on my Twitter. It came out and I listened to it immediately and I was like,

God's sake, you're so goddamn talented. So I'm going to have to try harder. So thanks, Lewis. Appreciate you. Well, look, it's King supporting Kings and it's all fine. But you're not doing too badly yourself, Miles. Thank you. What I was just saying to you during that song, the last time I saw you was at Liverpool for Radio 1's Big Weekend.

But also, we had a quick catch up there. But we had a proper nice sort of afternoon together in Luton, which was only last May. It's incredible. I never thought I would hear Greg James say, I had a lovely afternoon in Luton with my house. If that is...

Look at us. We're bringing Luton on the map. Come on, Matt. Look at us. Honestly, it was an amazing big weekend. It was one of my absolute favourite big weekends. The crowd were incredible. There were some beautiful moments, like your moment on the introducing stage where you played Stargazing. And I mean, look what's happened in that last year. We pointed to that main stage and I went...

Next year. Next year, my boy. You'll be on that main stage. And it happened. And I guess there's a lot going on and it's not as easy as saying, yes, I'm having a nice time because you're tired and it's stressful and there's pressures and all that. But...

Those crowds love you so much. Are you feeling that? Yeah, I'm definitely feeling it. It has been a really tough year. It's been tiring. It's been really hard and really difficult. But I think being able to walk out on those stages and achieve those things I've been wanting to do since I was 10 years old makes it all that bit easier. And you predicted it, which is wild. What's the lottery numbers for tonight? Because genuinely, it's amazing. But

You know, it's just been an incredible year and there's so much more to do but just to take stock and realise, you know, I was playing to 80 people in a pub in Manchester like 18 months ago and to be playing with Ed on tour doing my second world tour and to be playing festival stages all in that is pretty nuts.

How's the Ed Sheeran tour going? Because we've been playing loads of clips from it on The Breakfast Show because you've joined him for, you know, some duets and stuff. And you've done some requests as well. You've been requesting your favourite Ed Sheeran songs and getting to sing them with him. Honestly, I feel so cheeky. I walk in sort of like an hour before showing up and be like, so Ed, now that we're friends and I'm a super fan because I request this deep cut from an album 15 years ago. And he says yes, but no, it's been awesome. I mean, I didn't,

I knew it would be an amazing experience being with the greatest ginger to ever live, in my opinion. But to be up close and personal and to learn from him and to be on that tour has been incredible. And like I said, I genuinely think if you get the chance to see the tour in Europe, it's the best thing since the Jaffa Cake.

There's never been a better combo of orange and chocolate since the Jaffa Cake. That, me and Ed. So come and see us. Jaffa Cake's on tour. I'd like to request a song, please. And it's the song that, for me, kicked off the whole Miles Smith thing. And I remember vividly just... I was just scrolling. I was just scrolling through social media and I just saw this song pop up and immediately went...

what is this? Something is happening here. Something magnificent is happening here. And the song went on to take over the world, this song. Unbelievable. Stargazing. Yes, he did. That was Miles Smith yaring at his own song. He's like, yeah, that is good. He's saying that is good. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah, that is good, isn't it? It's all right. It's not too bad. It is good. It's the sort of global mega hit that changes your life, isn't it? Surely there's going to be a house that Stargazing built. Yeah. It's one of those songs that's just so enormous. But congratulations. Thank you. And plenty more to come as well. This is the exciting thing. You've just got going. Oh, yeah. Yeah.

We have a complaint, though. Oh, no. Oh, no. Yeah, we've had a complaint. Edie is three years old and is listening to the radio. And she went, I thought I was the only ginger. Oh, Edie, I'm sorry. So we've got Ed Sheeran. Edie, Ed, Ed, they're both Eds in a way. So we've got Ed Sheeran maybe at one, but Edie at two is the second best ginger in the world. First two syllables is what I meant. Great.

Syllables? Characters? It's all fine. That's one syllable, that's nuts. If you just want to sit there and say, yeah, that's fine. I keep catching Miles Smith out with mics going live. Radio 4 Nexus at Glastonbury. Okay, the mic's alive now. You're so busy at the moment touring around the world.

doing your own shows, doing Ed Sheeran shows with him. Are you having any time to have life experiences that you can then put into music? Yeah. You know what? Life experiences have been pretty wild at the moment. You know, it's like sometimes it's like real pinch myself moments. Like the other day we did a Rome Olympic stadium, followed by Wembley stadium, like back to back. And it was, it was a little bit silly to do 180,000 people in two days. It was like,

For me, it's like every day is a new experience with the Ginger Man. He shows me the world in a new light and it's been incredible. So yeah, it's been really tough. But in terms of writing, I'm always writing on the road. Every single day I'm writing on the road. And I think that when I've got time to forge something that makes sense, I'll put it out into the world. Well, we look forward to that whenever you're ready.

It's nice to have Ed Sheeran as a sort of guide, isn't it, to all this stuff, because you're seeing how to deal with the travel and the amount of people. It was interesting, I was listening to Jack Saunders' show last night on the way down to when we were driving down, and he had Confidence Man on, and he was talking to them about what it's like to go out in front of a big crowd, and the advice that one of Confidence Man was given, she was like...

yeah, well, my friend just said, just take it all in. And she got out on stage and she said, I tried to take it all in and then I started panicking because I took it all in. So the advice actually is don't take it all in until afterwards because it's too stressful to take in 80,000 people. It's a lot, isn't it? I agree. So tell us about your Glastonbury weekend. So you're playing on...

Woodsy's, right? Woodsy's, yes. 12.45 to 1.30, right? Yeah. 12.45 to 1.30 today. So you better go and get ready. Have you had breakfast yet? Are you sorted? No, no breakfast yet. Drove in this morning. So yeah, I need to find food somewhere. Please help. Please help. We'll open the BBC canteen for you. Don't worry.

You might make me a C-lister now. I've stepped up from D. Come on, guys. Come on. I hope you like soggy toast. Oh, gorgeous. So messy. Miles Smith, thanks so much. And congratulations on everything. We'll catch up soon. Enjoy Glastonbury today. Cheers. And thanks for coming in so early as well. Appreciate that. We also had a little visit from Sam Ryder. Here he is. Radio One's All Day Breakfast with great cheese.

Sam Ryder, good morning. Good to see you, Greg, man. Very, very good to see you. I'm very, very happy. I'm in my element. I'm ecstatic.

So it's your first Glastonbury? Yeah, first ever. Never even been here before, never played. Yeah, it's so cool. It's vast. It's vast. Vast. Yeah. Welcome to the farm. It's unbelievable, isn't it? It is unbelievable, really. So it's your first Glastonbury and first Portal Call. Last night you popped up somewhere. Where were you playing last night? Yeah, we were doing this little pop-up show at a campsite and we just did an hour of Seoul and Motown bangers. Amazing. Mate, it was one of my

like most fun shows in a long time. I saw that you did a show on the train on the way down as well. Yeah, we played a couple of songs. People playing percussion on their tray tables. It was classic. Yeah, really nice. And then you're performing later on. Is it today on the Avalon stage? No, Sunday. Sunday. 7.50 Avalon stage. 7.50 on Sunday. So you've just got a couple of days just to hang out. Yeah, I just want to sort of soak up as much

Glastonbury as I possibly can. Now we've talked about you making a really cool move. You've gone to Nashville. Yes. So you spend a lot of your time in Nashville now. Yeah, yeah. So like about 13 years ago, I started going and it was always like the big dream. Do you know what I mean? Like end up writing music and making music in Nashville. So I started off sleeping in my mate's dorm room at Belmont, being the only guy hanging out at the Belmont cafe that didn't actually study there, just eating nonstop. And, uh,

And yeah, it's been just a long time coming to put down some roots there. It's so nice. So lovely. And you've just finished an album out there as well. Yep. Finished the record, handed it in two days ago on my birthday and then went go-karting to celebrate after with my dad and then on the way here. So it's class. It's the rock and roll, Nick. Go-karting and all the rest of it. You went go-karting with your dad? Yeah, and the guys in the band. So we're all like heading up here.

That's so nice. Yeah, yeah. It was nice until my dad had to stop because in the first 10 minutes his back was hurting and he was getting cramp. And they were like the fast cars. They were like the ones that go 75 on the straight. So it was pretty terrifying. But my dad was like, he checked out early, which was a shame because that meant that I lost. So I invited my dad to secure me not coming dead last. You know what I mean? But that sort of went out the window. Yeah.

I want to play this song of yours, which I've played a few times on The Breakfast Show, which I love. Mate, thank you, dude. I came and saw that little showcase you did a few months ago. Yeah, George Tavern. In that pub. And this song just immediately just stopped everyone in their tracks. And I think it's beautiful. So you did this in Nashville? Yes. Yeah, yeah, yeah. This is a Nashville song. Yep. And it's called White Lies and it's Sam Ryder. It's on The Breakfast Show. We've got a little fun thing to do with you next. This is the... I saw they keep telling me I can't tell my soul And I don't hold back

Like I could replace your love in long time Nothing to me

I love that song, Sam Ryder. Cheers, man. It's really... The vocal is amazing on that. Legend. Thank you. So, we were thinking, we didn't want to make people who aren't at Glastonbury feel left out today. Because, you know, there's a big wide world out there. Yeah, the world's turning out there. The world is turning. It's not just Glastonbury. There's lots of other stuff going on. And I wanted to resurrect an old game we used to do, which is the Rick Stein game, where on one of his TV shows, we got obsessed with the fact that this was his theme tune. It was called...

Rick Stein's, I think it was called Big Weekends, where he would just go somewhere. He would just basically say to the TV company, I want to go and eat food in wherever, and they'd send him. And so every week it would be genuine theme tune to the show. Hey, Rick.

Where are we going this weekend? And then he'd go, Lisbon. Dartford. Yeah, Dartford. And that would be it. And he'd just go off and just try the seafood or be like...

actually cane the wine yeah Provence yeah that was his life it was called Rick Stein's Long Weekends that was what it was called so we've got some people on the phone who are going somewhere but can we do a little practice and you're going to sing where these people are going and they're going to say are you standing by Jonathan and Liam are you standing by we're here we're here okay great and Rachel are you standing by

Yeah, great. Okay. So let's practice it. So let me give you a... I'll give you a count. I can give you the bop bops. How about that? Where you going this weekend? Oh, it's a bit low for me now. Oh, no, it's lovely. Buttery. Yeah. Hopefully. Do that again. I really like that. Where you going this weekend?

Oh, nice. That is at the bedrock of my throat. So based on that, we've got Jonathan and Liam. Can you fit that in syllables-wise? Hey, Jonathan and Liam. And then I'll do the... Right, and then we get them on. Okay, go. Hey, Jonathan and Liam. Hey, Jonathan and Liam.

Where you going this weekend? Glasgow. Glasgow. King Tut, is it? I think that was worth the build-up. Glasgow. Glasgow.

What are you doing in Glasgow? What's going on? So we're heading up for Liam's 30th birthday. Lots of people coming up from London. So yeah, looking forward to it. Oh, nice. Well, happy birthday, Liam. Have an amazing weekend. Enjoy, mate. Bless you, man. Loads of love. See you. Thanks, guys. Let's go to... Let's do the next one. Okay, so... I got it, I got it. Ready? Yeah. Hey, Rachel and Will.

Where you going this weekend? Thought Park! Thought Park! Thought Park! Lovely. What ride are you most excited for? What's the big one? The big one that goes all the way up. Stealth, that one. Stealth. You know, the big one that goes all the way up.

Hopefully it works. Yeah, it was simultaneously filthy and also a description of every rollercoaster ever. Oh yeah, you know, the big one that goes up. Oh, I don't like that one. Have you been there before, Rachel and Will? We have, yeah, but not for a long time. Okay, are you going to get fast pass? Are you going to get through the crowds? Yeah, probably. Yeah, you've got to get a cute chunk. Yeah, yeah, no point messing. Life's too short to be cute for the one that goes up. Not a chance. I hope you guys have the best time.

Thank you so much. Enjoy Glastonbury. Thanks, guys. Take care. Loads of love. Peace. Very nice. I like that game. Very, very nice. What's the best dance you've ever had? I think a very dour Glasgow. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's quite good. That is a really fun one. Well, we should do one for you. So we'll get Rick to ask you. Okay. Hey, Sam. Where are we going this weekend? Glastonbury!

BBC Radio. Radio 1 Breakfast. And finally, we were paid a visit by the Queen of Glastonbury. Radio 1 at Glastonbury. We need to make way for the Queen. Radio 1.

We are nearly out of time here. We've got six minutes left and this is the biggest treat. It's not Glastonbury until you see the Queen of Glastonbury, Jo Wiley. Thank you. Thank you. Hi. Hi. I love seeing you. You're lost for words, aren't you? I am lost for words. I love seeing you here. This means Glastonbury can officially begin

You look amazing. Thank you very much. Would you like to describe what I'm looking like? Sam Ryder was rather jealous. I thought, actually, I might have to give this over to him afterwards for his set. Joe Wiley is currently wearing the jumpsuit I wore when I interviewed Benson Boone earlier this week. And what a... That was...

pure chance that that happened as well. I love these sorts of things. This wasn't in any way, it couldn't have been planned. No. But your suitcase, because you share the studio back in London when we do The Breakfast Show, and your suitcase was in the room and it said, Joe

Joe Wiley for Glastonbury. And I knew it would be your TV outfits because you always look sensational on the telly at Glastonbury. And I was like, that's got to be her thing. And I was just taking off the jumpsuit after the interview and went, oh my God, we've got to put it in the suitcase. And you found it. And we sort of got you with it. I was so confused though because I got home and I was going through all the things and I was like, why has Rachel put this in? Rachel gets me clothes. Why has she put this in? It's really cheap. It's really tacky. Look at the

It's highly flammable. Sorry. Sorry, did I say the wrong thing? It's highly flammable. It's not my colour. Sheep and tacky. Is that what you think of me? I didn't even see your notes. I didn't even see your note at all. I was like, well, I'll give it a try. I'll see. It's a bit long, I'll be honest. I love that you wore it down to Glastonbury yesterday and you're wearing it this morning. Yeah, this is the last time it'll be worn. I'm giving it back.

There's amazing Glastonbury coverage, obviously, across the BBC all weekend. So you're on the BBC Glastonbury iPlayer channel. Yeah, yeah, yeah. The Glastonbury channel with Hughes. Hughes evens it. It kicks off at 12 o'clock today. So really soon. And then you're on BBC One tonight. Yeah, 1975. Bring you that. Me and Jack. It's going to be a lot of fun. Jack Saunders, Joe Wiley tonight on the telly and BBC Glastonbury iPlayer channel all weekend for all the best bits of the festival. So you're not going to wear that on telly? No, no way. Why?

Why would I wear this on telly? Because you look great. It's see-through. I did worry about that, actually. No, it is. You can see my pants for sure. Ah, okay. So I won't be doing that on TV. So that means that Benson saw my Benson and my boobs. He did. Through there. Oh, no, that's horrible. Okay, well, you can officially take that off. Yeah, if you don't mind, I'm going for some faux leather tonight. I think it's what I'm going to be wearing instead. And some big boots. Aside from watching stuff, who are you excited to see? Oh.

I don't know if I can present it in a study, but who are you going to watch? Yeah, yeah. Maccabees, self-esteem, doing her Complicated Woman show. I'm really excited for that today. Father John Misty. I really love Father John Misty. So, yeah, lots of... There's so much, isn't there? Obviously, I won't get to see anything at all. And my family. Maybe I'd like to see my family at some point. You might see them. I'd like to hang out with the family as well. We love the Wiley Mortons. They're legends on site. I'd like to go and see someone with you. Maybe we should think of someone. Love to. What are you doing...

In a minute, because I want to go over to Woodsy's in case something magical happens. Oh, yes. I might be doing that. 11.30. I think I will be there. I think we should do that. And then maybe I'll be talking to somebody, the BBC iPlayer. Hopefully. You never know. Okay. That's exciting. Yeah. I basically have two minutes of work left to do. And then you're done. And then I'm done. Yeah. There's no more work all weekend. I'm just going to disappear off into the farm. So whatever you want to do. I've got a lovely photograph of us from years gone by, which we should recreate. How many glass of music have you done now? Oh, 500 million. Yeah.

Joe Wiley, have an amazing day. Thanks for always being so fun and being just an amazing person. We love you. I love you too. Just to double check, is my name going to be on the podcast as well? Yeah. Good. And that's Greg and Jack signing out from Woodsy's. Have a great weekend. I'll be back on Tuesday. I hope. Bye.
