Glastonbury organisers have urged ticket holders travelling by car to hold off arriving at the site amid apparent traffic congestion around Worthy Farm mainly due to, you guessed it, bad weather.
“The current wet weather and ground conditions are causing heavy traffic congestion around the site,” a statement reads. “If you’re coming to the festival by car or campervan/caravan and have yet to begin your journey, please do not set off.”
“If you’ve set off and have yet to reach the site, please stop somewhere safe and warm. If you’re queueing to get into the site, please bear with us and follow instructions from signage and traffic managers.”
While the festival proper doesn’t kick off until Friday morning with James on the Other Stage, its gate open for the first time on Wednesdays as many of the 100,000+ attendees look to arrive nice and early to pick a prime spot on site.
