But bookies slashed the odds on it being the wettest ever Glastonbury with thunderstorms set for the weekend.
Michael said: “We’re ready to go.
“After three years, it’s fantastic. It’s going to be the best show we’ve ever done.
“You wait and see – you better believe it.”
And his daughter, Emily, 42, added: “It’s more spectacular this year.
“The wait has been so long and it’s just the biggest build up we’ve ever had.
“Everyone’s feeling very happy and a little bit emotional about opening the gates.”
“It’s all so exciting, you’d never believe it.”
