They wrote: "Real bloke. Real emotions. Real music. F**king LOVE #SamFender and everything he represents in music. A geordie lad playing glasto mainstage [sic]. F**king superb."
Tonight marks Fender's debut at the festival, which is back for the first time in two years because of the Covid-19 pandemic.
Earlier today, Fender took to social media to share his excitement about the performance.
He wrote: "I’ve always wanted to go to @glastonbury and always dreamed of playing the pyramid stage as a young lad. Tomorrow, I'll do both.

"See you down the front at 8.15pm."
Tonight's performance will undoubtedly be made all the more special by the fact that Fender sadly had to pull out of playing the festival back in 2019.
He shared his heartbreak with fans on social media at the time, writing that while he has always dreamed of playing the festival 'the docs have told me I need longer to recover from illness'.
While Fender did want to return in 2020, for obvious reasons this didn't happen, and again in 2021, so it really was a performance a long time in the making.
