Saturday, June 28, 2009 Pilton, England Glastonbury Festival Hospitality Campgrounds 10:30 a.m. I awake in a bath of warm sweat, again. It's even worse today than it was yesterday.

Hospitality Campgrounds Pilton, England Glastonbury Festival 10:30 a.m. I awake in a bath of warm sweat. It seems in my hurry to buy an economy tent the previous day I'd forgotten to get one with some sort of window or breeze system. The forecast once again calls for rain, and yet, judging by the 40-degree Celsius weather in this tent, the...

Glastonbury's History On DVD

in
By Noah Love (CHARTattack) July 17, 2006 10:37 am
If Glastonbury organizer Michael Eavis is trying to curb attendance, Julien Temple's documentary should do the trick. The hooliganism, rain, militaristic security measures and overall filth make the festival seem like three days in a maximum-security prison. Don't mistake it for a concert film, because most of the bands are seen in snippets, lest...

Glastonbury 2012 Not Happening Because Of... Portapotties Shortage

in
By CHARTattack Staff (CHARTattack) October 18, 2010 11:23 am
A lot of people in the U.K. were probably quite happy when it was announced that London would host the 2012 Olympic Summer Games. But the Olympics have made things quite poopy for British music fans. The Glastonbury festival will not be held in 2012, and the Olympics is to blame. Why? Well, it turns out the police who would normally be handling...

Well, at least three members of the band haven't played before. Bassist Adam Clayton played the 1989 Glastonbury Festival when he joined the Hothouse Flowers on stage for one song, according to BBC...
