The five-day music festival, which will take place at Worthy Farm in Pilton, Somerset, from Wednesday (June 22) to Sunday (June 24), is projected to draw over 200,000 visitors every day (June 26).
Stages, tents, community restrooms, and food kiosks will be distributed across the event grounds, most of which will be outside.
This means that when thunderstorms strike on Friday (June 24), some people may either seek cover in their tents or brave the rain in raincoats and Wellington boots.
