Guns N’ Roses have kicked off their highly-anticipated headline slot on Glastonbury’s mainstage.
The performance is the US rock band’s debut at Worthy Farm and features the original line-up of Axl Rose, Slash and Duff McKagan – who reunited in 2015.
The crowd featured fans dressed in Slash’s trademark top hat, dark glasses and long black hair wigs.
The band first launched into It’s So Easy from their album Appetite For Destruction.
Without saying a word, the band then rolled into Bad Obsession, with Rose and Slash strolling around the stage to gee up the crowds.

‘How you doing?’, Rose asked crowds after the song finished.
‘We’d like to thank you for inviting us – thank you.’
Guns N’ Roses then struck up a rendition of Chinese Democracy, with Slash swapping to a horned green guitar, and followed up with Slither.
The band then ramped up the tempo with an explosive performance of 1987 hit Welcome To The Jungle.
The Crowd exploded as Slash struck up the famous opening riff; later the 57-year-old jumped off a stage block shredding his strings furiously.
Switching up the lyrics, Rose sang: ‘Do you know where you are? You’re in the jungle, Glastonbury!’
