Not this last one, but it shall be happening soon. Glastonbury 2007 is fast approaching and somehow I managed to get a ticket. An expensive ticket, but probably the best value ticket I shall ever purchase. What is Glastonbury? Glastonbury is the largest greenfield music and performing arts festival in the world. It is usually filled with a lot of weirdos, a lot of mud, loads of music and not many toilets.

“There is only one common characteristic of a Glastonbury-goer – they understand that Glastonbury offers more opportunity than any other happening to have the best weekend of the year or even of a life-time, and they are determined to have it!”

Brief History of Glastonbury

“19 September 1970 – The first Festival was held on the day after Jimi Hendrix died, over a two day period and before long “word had got around”. It was the Blues festival at the Bath & West Showground that had inspired Michael Eavis to begin a festival of his own although on a smaller scale.

Acts included: Marc Bolan, Keith Christmas, Stackridge, Al Stewart. Attendance: 1,500. Price: £1 including free milk from the farm.”

Fast forward 37 years and Glastonbury 2007 is set for an attendance of 175,000 people, the tickets cost £150 and there is no free milk, BUT what you do get is an AMAZING, INCREDIBLE line up of performances.

Below is a list of bands I shall be watching. (Please note this may make you very jealous, bordering on hateful, I do apologize):

• Arctic Monkeys
• Kasabian
• The Fratellis
• Bloc Party
• The Killers
• The Kooks
• Paulo Nutini
• Lily Allen
• Kaiser Chiefs
• Manic Street Preachers

• Maximo Park
• Babyshambles
• The Chemical Brothers
• Mika
• Jamie T
• Just Jack
• Damian Marley
• Nizlopi
• Amy Winehouse
• Damien Rice
• Fatboy Slim
• Carl Cox

That’s not nearly the whole list of the performing bands, you can find that here, it’s just the few I shall be making a special effort to watch.

Life is cruel.
