Tens upon tens of thousands of music fans arrived at the Glastonbury music festival on Thursday, not deterred by wind and rain.

Campers walked in on Wednesday and Thursday hauling bags and their tents to see U2, Coldplay, and singer Beyonce, among a number of other headlining acts.

Organizers are actively trying to deal with the muddy conditions, bringing in straw and bark to alleviate the soggy problem.
