CHEERING The bad girl of rock-and-roll there

Ronnie Spector looking totally at home. Her first time here, still

doing new things 50 years or so into her spectacular career. I'm at the

other side of the festival site. I'm here where the herd go, and

Glastonbury starts. You can catch Muse on BBC Four at 10. 30pm. We're

going to be introducing them in a little bit. For now, Mark and Jo,

back to you. Lauren is right over the other side

of the site. One year, we will need a zip wire from one side to the

other. Fancy going first! I would so do that. We're promising you

different performances. We go to a live performance now. Every year

there is one act that you are desperate to see. You will do

anything and travel at any speed to get to that performance. That's the

artist who's about to play for us now. I ran and watched the

performance. You can enjoy her. This is Christine and the Queen's.

# I will die before Methusalah so I'll fight sleep with Ammonia

# And every morning with eyes all red

# I'll miss them for all the tears they shed

# Can't help it if we're tilted

# Can't help it if we

# Can't help it if we're tilted

# I match them with my euphoria while singing their thoughts

# When they said "Je suis plus folle que toi"

# Can't help it if we're tilted I'm actually good

# Can't help it if we

# Can't help it if we're tilted

# Pire qu'une simple moitie on compte a demi-demi

# Pile sur un des bas cotes comme des origamis

# Ces enfants bizarres n'est qu'epis et eclis

# Cachant l'effort dans le griffoir

# Et une creepy song en etendard qui fait:

# With magic marker I'm in my right place

# Don't be a downer I'm doing my face

# I'm actually good don't be a downer

# Twisted, twisted, twisted... # CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Amazing that. Was wonderful. That was Tilted that you just D you were

on the other stage earlier today. A big stage to play, how was it? Quite

impressive but emotional. Glastonbury is such a milestone. Is

this your first time? Yeah, my first time ever. I used to watch things on

YouTube and be fascinated by things at Glastonbury. People were lovely

and the rain was pouring on them. Really pouring. What are the weird

and wonderful things that you've seen? Weird is everywhere, but

that's good. Let me tell you that's good. That's what I like about this

festival. This is like a bubble, and people lose their minds in the best

way. I saw posters of dreamers, like writing, "What if another world

could be possible? This is a free zone here, still. It is. Lovely to

see you here, having you here. Thank you for having me. Congratulations

on your first Glastonbury, Christine on your first Glastonbury, Christine

The Queens. Now another member of the team is the irrepressible Gemma.

She's down at the West Holts stage this evening. Hello. It's me! How

are you? I'm back again and feel so privileged to be here at Glastonbury

2016! CHEERING I cannot think of a place I

would rather be, a place where we can be unified in arts, crafts,

peace and the love good music. As you can see, I am in the thick of.

It I am just opposite the West Holts stage. Apologies for any offensive

language. Everyone is revelling and raving already. It's already been

psychelelic. When the sun set, it was dreamy, oranges and pinks. These

lot are having a great time. Let's check out what happened earlier,

Protoje. Our reggae music sounds like this

right now. # Who knows, who knows, who knows

# I just go where the trade wind blows

# I'm sending love to my friends and boys

# I'm free to be chilling in the West Indies.

# I got the sunshine and the trees # I live the proper way

# Who knows, who knows, who knows, who knows

# I just go where the trade winds blows

# Sending love to my friends and foes

# Jah provide all my wants and needs

# I got the sunshine rivers and trees

# When the rain pitta pat pon the roof

# Herb just a steam pepper pot pon the still

# Life is a dream if you got gratitude

# So go tell the regime dem can't stop what we do now

# Information you think on your own

# Or else you are a slave to the things that

# What do you know if you learn every day

# So be careful a things weh you say

# Who knows, who knows, who knows, who knows

# I just go where the trade winds blows

# Sending love to my friends and foes

# To be chilling in the West Indies

# Jah provide all my wants and needs

# I got the sunshine rivers and trees #

Say as I say. Listen, who knows, who knows, who knows?

If you love Jamaica, hands up like this right now and drop with me.

They never going to need you like I need you. What I'm going to do right

now is take you to the dance hall in Jamaica, Baston Bray, are you ready?

Protoje on the West Holts stage. I loved that song. Two of my favourite

things of the day, Christine and Protoje. Such a lovely atmosphere

and the kind of magical atmosphere on the West Holts stage. Different

from other areas of the festival. Talking of the magical sense, there

was a spirituality and something special about Glastonbury. This is a

film exploring the legacy and history of Glastonbury the town and

the impact on the festival. Here's James.

Today you mention Glastonbury and you think of the world famous music

festival. But Glastonbury festival takes its place from this place,

Glastonbury town seven miles down the road from Worthy Farm. This is

no ordinary Somerset town. For thousands of years, it's been a

magnet for innovators, revellers and spiritualists. It's the stuff of

legend, a weird tale of nonconformity and creativity,

without which there would be no Glastonbury festival as we know it.

My pilgrimage to Glastonbury town starts with its mayor John Cousins.

Hi. How's it going? Good. We're in Glastonbury town, why do people come

here today? First impressions, it's a market town. Lieu lieu the -- you

look at the shops and it's witchcraft, man myth and magic, part

of the town's attraction is that there is something unusual about the

place. It's like walking into the Wicker Man.

To really understand Glastonbury town, you have to understand its

origins. Local tour guide, Tor Webster offered to give me a tour of

the historical highlights. This is the cloister gardens here. Why have

so many people been drawn here over the years? It goes back 2,000-plus

years. Druids would meet up for the solstice and equinox. Joseph of

Arimathea came here and built the Christian church. We have stories of

King Arthur and Gwen Veer buried here -- Gwenivere buried here. Then

a resurgence in the Victorian age where you have mystics right through

to the 70s, when the festival was started. We call this town the

little town with the big story. There you have it, Glastonbury

festival is the latest chapter in this little town's big story. Wait,

the festival ethos we know and love today isn't just a product of 1970s

peace, love and hippies. In 1914, composer Rutland Boughton

constructed the first festival here. It featured performers, dance, music

and literature attracted to am Hardy and Elgar. What kind of man was he?

He was a rebel. He was a nonconformist, unconventional. Some

local people found it quite upsetting that there were all these

bohemians wearing cord Roy trousers and nicker bobbingers, in those --

bockers, in that time it was frowned upon. The spirit of his festival

lives on as a place where mystery and myth can shy. The lay lines, and

the HIVery and legends and thaw -- history and the legends is all

thrown into the festival culture real li. Throughout the centuries

Glastonbury has inspired so many people, it's easy to see why the

Glastonbury festivals took their name from a town as magical as this.

Do you think a festival like this could only have come from an area

like Glastonbury? It's the only place because it's full of

nonconformist. Nowhere else in the country would I have got away with

it. Seriously, I would not! Thanks a lot, James. We're near the

village of pill ton. The Glastonbury, the town is about six

miles that way. Very good. You can see the tour all the way through the

festival. If you really don't fit in society, it's a place to go and just

be. Absolutely. So, we are building up to the headliners tonight. You

can watch their set from 10. 30pm on BBC Four. This is the story of the

band who have headlined Pyramid Stage three nights, Friday,

Saturday, Sunday. Tonight they're on and you can watch them. This is the

story about Muse. Having topped the bill on Sunday in

2004 and on Saturday in 2010, tonight, Muse will become the first

band ever to have headlined the Pyramid Stage on all three nights of

the festival. What does that say about us? I don't know. We're

dynamic and can make our set work for any night of the week.

# Because I want it now... Glastonbury is where we went back in

the mid-90s. It means a great deal because when we're on stage you can

remember what it was like to be in the audience. You feel like you're

playing to yourself when you were a kit. -- kid. They started in the new

band's tent in 1999. It was in 2000 that the punky trio made their first

breakthrough. It was chaotic. We smashed up all

the gear and had a big bundle. Then we all ended up in a pile on the

floor. It was a fun one. By 2004 the band had propelled

themselves to the top of the Pyramid Stage line-up. Their show further

Septembered their reputation -- cemented their reputation as one of

the best live acts around. Glastonbury 2010 that was when we

first really nailed it as a headliner, I'd say. What I remember

is the special guest we had at the time. U 2 were supposed to play.

Bono hurt his back or something and cancelled. I managed to get hold of

Edge. # Where the streets have no name...

# It was all just too much. I knew

that Bono was watching at home and judging every note! Tonight, the

mighty Muse headline the Pyramid Stage for a third time. Luckily for

us, they bring a fitting new stage show with them. It's basically

Stonehenge. We have 11 monolyths. When you see them moving around,

it's someone moving them. This is our Spinal Tap moment. We have might

bring out a special guest, you never know! Just to clarify, they've

played on the Sunday, the Saturday and on the Friday. Sorry if we're

going on a little bit. We've got it now. You can see Muse on BBC 4 at

10. 30pm. Back here for the climax on BBC Two. Lots to enjoy. We're

going to finish tonight with music from earlier on, these are Bastille.

# So, what would you little maniacs like to do first?

# Now you'll be missing from the photographs

# What's gonna be left of the world if you're not in it?

# Caught off guard by your favorite song

# It's such a shame we had to see them burn

# What's gonna be left of the world if you're not in it?

# You have to learn to live in the jungle

# Now stop worrying and go get dressed
