Unsure whether to follow the example set by Download, and Reading and Leeds, Glastonbury Festival decided to ask the people actually affected by the trend for the selfish waving of oversized flags. The people have spoken, and flags will be staying put. Unfortunately.

I was really hoping Glastonbury would ban flags, but no, it’s taking on board the views of its patrons and allowing them to remain part of the annual mudfest.
The final results of the poll were 55 percent in favor of keeping the flags, 45 percent in favor of a ban. And I have a sick feeling in my …read more

After the ludicrous number of flags being flown at last year’s big music festivals a debate has raged as to whether they should be banned or not. Reading and Leeds banned flags last year, and Download has followed suit this year. Will Glastonbury join them?

A couple of flags being waved here and there in a festival crowd in fine. It’s manageable and doesn’t ruin the enjoyment of people watching from further back or watching on TV from their comfort of their own homes.
However, it’s got silly over the past couple of years, with more and more flags of increasing size …read more

Glastonbury is the biggest and best festival in the U.K. It’s a must-see for music lovers every year. If you cannot attend in person then you need to watch the coverage on TV, and the BBC always delivers on that score. But does it provide value for money?

Almost everyone in Britain has a love/hate relationship with the BBC. We all hate paying the TV license – resenting giving our money so that overpaid presenters can life a life of luxury while everyone else cannot. But we all love at least some of the programming.
And the Glastonbury Festival is no exception. …read more

Rumors flew around the InterWebs last month that Lady Gaga, that freaky lady who is most definitely a little gaga, is either a man or a hermaphrodite (someone born with the genitalia of both sexes).
The speculation started after Gaga herself made a joke about it, and then footage of her performing at the Glastonbury Festival (video embedded below) surfaced which showed a suspect package in her pants.

However, Lady Gaga has denied the claims, and now her close friend Mika has backed her up. He told Heat magazine:
“She doesn’t have a penis. She came to my house in her underwear …read more

Last year saw the famous and long-running Glastonbury Festival take a new direction when Jay-Z was asked to headline. Jay-Z is a blindingly good rapper and awesome live, but he was a controversial choice for an event that is more usually associated with rock and folk performers. Noel Gallagher of Oasis was the biggest (or at least most vocal and well-known) critic of the decision. So what does he think to this year’s line-up?

That’s exactly the question BBC 6 Music asked of the guitarist, songwriter, and mainstay of Oasis. This was kind of a loaded question, not only due to …read more

Today is the last day to register for your chance to obtain tickets for the Glastonbury Festival.
Although tickets won’t actually go on sale until April 6th, everyone who wants to be in the queue, needs to have registered by midnight tonight (March 14th) or miss the chance until next year (if there is a Glastonbury next year).
The policy is part of several anti-tout measures brought in in recent years, after the site was overrun by non or fake ticket holders.
Unfortunately this also means uploading a passport style picture now, which should you be successful in buying a ticket in …read more
