Michael Eavis once again opened the gates on his 900-acre farm to let 137,000 music fansarmed with tents, wellies and over-sized sunglassesrevel in a weekend of music, mayhem and mud.

Thankfully, the mud was only confined to the first day, as the sun stayed out for most of the weekend. Scroll through our gallery below to get a taste of this year's music extravaganza.
