Die hard fans of Sheffield indie rockers Arctic Monkeys are already jostling for the best seat - or spot - at Worthy Farm hours before the band headline the Pyramid Stage tonight. Glastonbury Festival co-organiser Emily Eavis confirmed earlier today that the band would fulfil their set after worries about singer Alex Turner's health after illness forced a gig cancellation a few days ago.
With confirmation Arctic Monkeys would be taking to the stage tonight (June 23), some of the band's keenest fans dashed over to the Pyramid Stage to get right at the front so they could be as close as possible to their idols. The band are not due to walk onto the stage until 10.15pm tonight, but that has not deterred fans.
Earlier today, dozens had already made their way to the front of the iconic stage, which will also feature Maisie Peters, Texas, Royal Blood and a mystery band known as 'The Churnups' on the bill on its first day of music. Among the fans already at the stage was 22-year-old Mary from Surrey.
