IF philosophy isn't your thing, but take a look at the HowTheLightGetsIn programme and you may very well find it's everyone's thing, the festival has curated a musical offering with a bit of everything for every taste and more than 370 music acts across the 10 days. .

With acoustic sessions every day in the Stage and Pavilion at The Globe and at the Hat at the festival's Riverside site and a truly eclectic programme of live music every night, it's a non-stop party for 10 days, starting tonight at 7.30opm with Kizzy Crawford, whose debut single The Starling made her BBC Radio Wales's single and artist of the week.

Tomorrow night sees the HowtheLightGetsIn opening party, an intimate set with songsmith, broadcaster and activist Tom Robinson at the Globe: International and the unique sound of Kate Simko and the London Electronic Orchestra in the Globe Hall, while Saturday sees an afternoon packed with acoustic music at all venues.

The Saturday Shindig continues into the night with the brilliant King Charles, best described as glam folk, at The Globe and Fairport Convention, whose 1969 album Liege and Leaf created the genre of folk rock, at Riverside. Then party on into the night with DJ Justin Robertson at The Globe.

The first Sunday of the festival sees the return of The Correspondents, consistently ranked in The Telegraph's top ten Glastonbury moments and the platinum selling, BRIT nominated Nerina Pallot, and taking party-goers into the small hours will be the legendary Annie Nightingale, Radio 1's first female presenter.

The week continues with a performance on Monday from Eska, whose debut was nominated for the 2015 Mercury Prize, her music a cross between Prince and Joni Mitchell - 'the finest female vocalist in the UK', said The Telegraph.

Wednesday sees the arrival of Femme, who after picking up an International Emerging Talent award in LA, bagged the Rising Star award at the London Music Awards - a one-stop shop of creativity, recording, mixing, producing and performing all her tracks, and Thursday brings Kish Mauve back to The Globe as Jim Eliot and Mima Stilwell present the sassy brand of electro pop that's seen them working with Will Young, Kylie Minogue and Ellie Goulding. Jim will also be taking to the decks for Friday night's late night party in The Globe's Lower Gallery.

There's more Mercury-Prize-nominated music on Saturday, June 4, with Gemma Hayes, the Irish alt-rock icon, while Sam and the Womp promise to keep revellers throwing shapes into the early hours in The Globe Hall.

To bring this year's festival to a close, as tradition demands, is the Blaenavon Male Voice Choir, guaranteed to bring the house down, a tear to the eye and a sense of euphoria to take home with you.
