Glastonbury Festival 2008

Terry Lane - Wednesday 25.06.08, 16:20pm

3,000 portaloo toilets on 400-acres of farm is awaiting approximately 134,000 people on their way to the Glastonbury Festival this week.

Essentials for one of the festival highlights of the year include wellington boots and a good supply of toilet rolls.

The complete line up for every stage and tent can be viewed, and tickets still be purchased on the Glastonbury Festivals website.

Headline acts for the main Pyramid Stage will be Kings Of Leon, Jay-Z and The Verve with main support being offered by the likes of The Fratelis, Editors and Gossip on Friday; Amy Winehouse, The Raconteurs and Crowded House on Saturday; and Leonard Chen, Goldfrapp and Neil Diamond on the Sunday.

Though Amy Winehouse is still pretty ill she has apparently promised to make it to the festival and will be chauffeured via helicopter into the festival before her appearance on Saturday night immediately before Jay-Z.

As usual, The Other Stage offers a strong line up too, and will no doubt mean choices will have to be made as to which artist and which stage to visit.  The Other Stage headlining acts are Panic At The Disco, Massive Attack and Groove Armada, with great support including The Enemy and We Are Scientists (Friday), Hot Chip, Elbow, Duffy, The Wombats and Black Kids (Saturday); and The Zutons, Pigeon Detectives, Mark Ronson & Scouting For Girls (Sunday).

There are far too many other stages and tents, let alone acts to list but here are a few I would like to see:

John Peel Stage: Band Of Horses, British Sea Power, Spiritualized, The Kills

Acoustic Stage: Seasick Steve

The Park: CSS, MGMT, Caribou, Edwyn Collins

Who are you looking forward to seeing, either live or on the television?
