Glastonbury has already descended into a muddy hellscape

Bet you're glad you didn't get a ticket

Death, taxes and Glastonbury being a muddy mess are the only true certainties in life.

Despite being held in June, the festival always seems to find a way to turn from nice camping trip into mud-fuelled chaos – the only difference this year is that it has already turned into a giant pile of mud before any of the acts have even started.

You may have noticed that the weather has been a little underwhelming so far this summer, but that hasn’t stopped thousands of people from marching on the Somerset countryside to attend the festival headlined by Adele, Muse and Coldplay.

And we’re not joking when we say it has already become a muddy mess, as the organisers are already asking people not to come just yet.

So how bad is it? Well, first there’s the traffic on the way to the festival…

Where some people have been stuck so long that they’ve stopped for a game of cricket – you know, that sport where games take literally days to finish.

But then there’s the mud. Oh god, the mud…

And so the inevitable memeing began.
