But travellers may be wondering how to get there, and if there are any strikes that may affect them. Here's all you need to know.
How do I get to Glastonbury?
Glastonbury 2022 will feature some serious star power, including including headliners Billie Eilish, Kendrick Lamar and Sir Paul McCartney.
Diana Ross will perform in the Sunday afternoon legends' slot.
It's the first time the Worthy Farm festival will be on since 2019, after cancellations due to the pandemic.
The likes of teen sensation Olivia Rodrigo, Lorde, Megan Thee Stallion, Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds and Wolf Alice will also feature in the stacked line-up.
It promises to be a massive weekend in the festival calendar, but how can you get to the Somerset site?

Are there any trains or tubes during Glastonbury and when are the strikes?
You can find festival-recommended train information on GWR’s Glastonbury page.
But though trains are running, your route may well be affected by upcoming industrial action.
National strikes are planned across British railways starting on Tuesday, June 21, Thursday, June 23, and Saturday, June 25, 2022 that could well affect your Glasto travel plans.
Rail, Maritime and Transport union (RMT) workers for 13 rail operators and National rail are expected to stage walk outs on these dates.
Clair Mann, Managing Director of South Western Railway said the "action will mean that many customers will be unable to travel by rail".
She added: "If customers can change their date of travel, or make alternative arrangements, I urge them to begin making those arrangements as soon as possible."
A strike is also planned on the London Underground on June 21, which is part of a separate dispute over job losses and pensions.

The festival takes place on the 22 June, 2022, so check in advance that tubes and trains are running well in advance, so you can plan an alternative route if necessary.
