In a bid to reduce the amount of waste left over after the festival, Glastonbury have introduced a plastic-free initiative and ask visitors to bring the essentials only. Here's what you can and can't take into the site.
For those lucky enough to have bagged themselves tickets for Glastonbury this year, we've compiled a helpful packing guide - and have itemised the things you shouldn't bring.

While there's more to life than your mobile, you will inevitably need some charge to track down your mates.
So, to avoid the hefty fees at charging points and standing around for over an hour to get a full bar, bring along a portable charger.
After ages queueing for a wee, it's finally your turn. You enter a stinking portaloo, only to find there's no toilet roll left in the holder. You then, desperately, rummage through your pockets for a pocket tissue, but things look bleak. As a last resort, you shimmy and shake, leaving the loo feeling uncomfortable and even dirtier than when you entered.
On the off chance the weather gets nice, it's advisable you carry some suncream with you - of SPF 30 or higher.
There's nothing worse than being rained on alllllll day, then having no sleep because the temperature turns Baltic.
To avoid getting chilly in the evenings, take a thick thermal blanket to help retain heat.
Equally, the ground will be cold - even if it doesn't rain. A roll mat just acts as an extra barrier between you and the sodden earth and means you're less likely to get a chill at night.
Regardless of whether the sun's shining or there's a massive downpour, wellies are a festival must.
Take a torch for those late-night trips to the loo!
It's always a hard job trying to get some shut eye at festivals, but having earplugs in helps block out *some* of the noise going on around your tent.
Basically...don't be that person.
If you're caught trying to take glass into the festival, it will be taken off your person.
As part of their new green initiative, Glastonbury organisers have asked that guests refrain from using non-biodegradable body glitter at the event.
While it might seem like an obvious one, pets and animals are not permitted to enter the festival site - so no sneaking your pooch in your handbag!
Anyone who brings fireworks with them to Glastonbury will be evicted from the premises and will be refused entry thereafter.
I mean...you are there to watch live music, so leave your boombox at home.
The festival offers charging points to guests, but you cannot bring your own generator.
While drones have become increasingly popular in recent years - and you can get some decent aerial photos with them, they are strictly banned from Glasto.
