Glastonbury has opened its gates today (June 21) as around 210,000 people will attend one of the world’s most famous music festivals over the next few days.

Sir Elton John is just one of the iconic performers who will be headlining on Sunday (June 25) and he has revealed it will be a “brand new show”.

It comes as the 76-year-old is currently on his 350-date Farewell Yellow Brick Road tour which was due to end in 2021 but it was extended due to the coronavirus pandemic and his hip injury.

His Worthy Farm appearance will conclude his UK dates which he said "couldn't be a more perfect ending".

The Rocket Man star will be taking to the Pyramid Stage from around 9pm, with his set expected to last until around 11pm.

Sheffield band Arctic Monkeys will be headlining on Friday (June 23) from 10.15pm.

However, fans are hesitant after they recently cancelled their latest show in Dublin as frontman Alex Turner had laryngitis.

On Saturday (June 24), Guns N’ Roses will take to the famous stage from 9.30pm.

Sir Elton John to perform a ‘brand new show’ at Glastonbury 2023

Speaking to Radio 1 DJ and Strictly star Clara Amfo on the Future Sounds show, Sir Elton, said: "I'm starting with a song I haven't played for about 10 years, so we'll see how it goes.

"I've got the set list down, I've got rehearsal dates booked for the guest artists, so we just have to hope the weather will still be nice."

The Tiny Dancer hitmaker added: “It's a different show to what people have been seeing. On Farewell Yellow Brick Road, there's quite a lot of deep cuts, it's not all hits, and you've got to keep people interested.

"When you put a setlist together, I always say it's a bit like having sex. You start off really well, then you chill out a little bit, then towards the end of the show all hell breaks loose.”

It’s also been reported Sir Elton has planned some surprise guest appearances, but the identities are all under wraps.

He spoke about how it’s his first ever time at Glastonbury and explained: “I've watched Glastonbury on the TV, and the thing that I love about Glastonbury is not the headliners, per se, it's the people on the smaller stages that they give the chance to shine.

"So if I was at Glastonbury, I would probably be in one of the smaller tents, looking at one of the newer acts playing, because that's what I want to see."

Sir Elton's Glastonbury performance will be broadcast on BBC One and BBC Radio 2 on June 25.
