Glastonbury viewers have praised Sugababes' Glastonbury 2024 set which saw original members Siobhan Donaghy, Mutya Buena, and Keisha Buchanan take to the stage.

The girl group took to the West Holt stage on Friday afternoon with people at home also watching along on BBC iPlayer. At Worthy Farm tens of thousands of people turned up to watch the trip perform their back catalogue of pop anthems including Overload and Push the Button.

As a result, organisers had to close off pathways to get to the stage due to the number of people who had arrived for their set. A sign read “WEST HOLTS FULL please seek alternative” as festival-goers were redirected by staff wearing hi-vis jackets.

And it appears Sugababes matched the hype with those who watched the set taking to social media full of praise for the group.

Writing on X, formerly Twitter, some were even predicting it will be the best performance at the festival. @msjenmac wrote: "I love the Sugababes and wouldn’t be surprised if they’re the best set of Glastonbury 2024" while @ryancudlipp added: "Never seen a crowd like Sugababes at West Holts today. Was there in 2022 when they closed Avalon and same thing happened today. Not sure I’ll see a better show this weekend. Pyramid stage surely next.."

@NatalieCox101 said: "Ok so Sugababes set at Glastonbury was incredible love all the songs they sang. They all sound amazing" with @ThomasCutter added: "Absolutely loved that Sugababes set Top Notch."

Over the weekend, Duap Lipa Coldplay and SZA will headline the world-famous Pyramid Stage, while Shania Twain will take the Legends Slot. The full list of performers is huge - but you can also expect to see the likes of Avril Lavigne, Cyndi Lauper, The Last Dinner Party and Camila Cabello.

Glastonbury was founded by Sir Michael Eavis on his Somerset farm in 1970. While he is still involved, his daughter Emily and her husband Nick Dewey now take on the majority of the organisation.

The BBC's coverage of Glastonbury will be available across iPlayer, BBC Sounds, TV, radio and online, including its non-stop Classic Glastonbury channel streaming 24 hours a day from now until Sunday, June 30.

Glastonbury: How politics accompanies the music of the festival
Glastonbury is no stranger to mixing music with politics, and with the general election just days away and protests against the Israel-Hamas war ongoing, this year has been no exception. Artists from Damon Albarn to Charlotte Church have been vocal about their thoughts on the war on stage - and reflected back at them, a notable number of Palestinian flags are being held aloft by those in the crowds. Closer to home, while the looming election means planned visits by Labour's Angela Rayner and the Greens' Caroline Lucas were shelved, Mayor of Manchester Andy Burnham did give a speech, and installations such as a large black cube representing a ballot box, by the Just Vote campaign, are here to impress on people there is one way to make a difference.

Glastonbury: Coldplay joined by Michael J Fox on stage for history-making fifth headline set
Coldplay have become the first act in history to headline Glastonbury five times – playing a record-breaking set to a huge, sparkling audience for whom it felt like coming home. Thousands in the crowd will no doubt have seen them at least once here before, but no matter - they have their detractors, but you cannot argue with the fact Chris Martin's band can put on a headline performance worthy of Worthy Farm. Glastonbury founder Michael Eavis was among the special guests watching stage-side as they performed to a crowd stretching way back into the night, and they were also joined by stars and musicians including rapper Little Simz on stage.
