Each day of Glastonbury Festival we'll be bringing you a daily dose of the Festival from right here on site.

Yesterday's entertainment was topped by Muse, who ran over midnight with their show. Before that it was clear during the day that many of the younger audience members were disappointed with the Referendum result, and the occasional heavy rain shower did nothing to lift spirits. Jeremy Corbyn didn't turn up because of the result. Today both Lily Allen and Iris Elba have pulled out.

Fortunately acts like Two Door Cinema Club, Jess Glynne, Frightened Rabbit, Rat Boy, Carl Cox, Skepta, Protoje, and ZZ Top helped improve moods. Both  Underworld and Richard Hawley delivered crowd pleasing sets.

Tonight we have a new headlining the Pyramid Stage in Adele, with New Order, James Blake, M83, and more topping the main stage billing. Reggae legend Lee Scratch Perry performs in the Gully. Carl Cox who last night played Arcadia's spider returns to smash out another set at Glade, and Hell Stage host Shibusa Shirazu Orchestra among others.

Showery weather, much like yesterday, is expected again today.
