Glastonbury is commonly regarded as the world’s biggest and best festival for lots of reasons, but the one reason that stands out for me is the freedom it offers festival-goers to enjoy the weekend however they choose to. Other festivals pack you into designated areas and have a limited amount of stages and options. At…
Glastonbury organiser Michael Eavis has suggested he has already lined up the headline acts for the next festival in 2013. This years festival was another triumph, seeing almost 200,000 people pack into Eavis’ farm to see acts as diverse as U2, Queens Of The Stone Age, Beyonce and Coldplay. Next year, the festival is to…
The full Glastonbury line-up schedule was released this week, but instead of focus on that we’ll focus on what everyone is really interested in – the Glastonbury weather forecast. Last years festival, by all accounts, was a scorcher – but early indications from the Met Office are that next weekends festival will see a mixture…
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. There’s been a lot of rumours about headliners for Glastonbury 2015, and Michael Eavis even claimed that the deal to book one of…
Update – 26 June: Looks like the earlier reports of Coldplay opening Glastonbury on Friday morning were a bit premature, as the slightly more boring Kaiser Chiefs have now apparently been ‘officially’ confirmed as the TBA act on The Other Stage tomorrow. Coldplay rumours are still circulating though, and it wouldn’t be surprising to see…
The above weather symbol is annoyingly plastered all over the weather forecasts for this weekends Glastonbury Festival. What does it mean? Will it be sunny, rainy or cloudy? Or all three at once? It basically means anything is possible weather-wise and the word for the weekend is: changeable. Most forecasts are pretty certain that it…
It’s official – Glastonbury Festival has the best line-up of the year! I asked you earlier this month to vote on what UK festival line-up you thought was the best in 2014, and the results are unequivocal: Glastonbury has got the best bands on! Here’s the results in full: Glastonbury took just under 40% of…
There’s been a lot of criticism of Glastonbury’s decision to invite veteran rock band Metallica to headline this years festival, with Scottish prog-rock band Mogwai the most notable fellow Glasto band to speak out and diplomatically label them as ‘shite‘. Bands and fans speaking out about a line-up decision is always going to happen, but things…
