I didn’t go to Glastonbury this year, and it’s the first time I can remember not thinking ‘I wish I was there’ while watching the coverage on the BBC. The weather played a big part in that – no matter how much people try to kid themselves that the mud doesn’t matter, it does. When […]
With the bedraggled festival-goers leaving the site and the clean-up operation in full swing, Glastonbury 2014 is officially consigned to the history books and attention is immediately switched to next years festival.

Now that the full line-up for this year’s Glastonbury Festival has been revealed, I thought it would make for an interesting study to work out exactly what it takes to be a Glastonbury headliner. I looked at all the Pyramid Stage headliners for the past 15 Glastonbury Festivals (which takes us all the way back […]
Glastonbury Festival organisers have finally confirmed that US rock titans Metallica will be headlining this years festival – joining Arcade Fire and Kasabian at the top of the Pyramid Stage bill. The confirmation came with the announcement of the full lineup, following last months initial 80 acts. You can see the full lineup in all […]
