Glastonbury 2023 is here this week! Although the main music line-up starts on Friday, the festival boasts numerous smaller stages that kick off as early as Wednesday.
Here’s our full run-down of the Wednesday line-up complete with set times. We’ve left all the other days out and put only the full schedule for Wednesday on this page – including a potential secret set and some other events taking place like the fireworks display and the solstice procession.
Glastonbury 2023 Wednesday line-up
Jump to:
Secret sets and events
- 12:00 – 16:30: Solstice opening event for the new Woodsies area, see below for details
- 19:30: The summer solstice procession starts from The Crow’s Nest
- Around 10pm: Head up the hill towards the Glastonbury sign for the annual opening night fireworks – and a breathtaking view across the festival site as it gets dark. Get there early as the exact time won’t be known until just before it starts (check Glasto’s Twitter on the night).
- Time unknown: We heard something is happening on the roof of one of the bars Wednesday night. We don’t know when, or even which one, but the Brothers Bar is probably a good shout – not many have a solid roof!
