Our tips for Glasto, just in case you are online in your tent or, fast forwarding though the TV coverage;
1. Royal Blood (John Peel Stage, Saturday 14:00-14:40)
Loud enough to make your ears bleed. Well, not quite, but this duo are nothing but raw power. Get ready; it’s going to be loud.
2. Tune-Yards (West Holts Stage, Friday 19:00-20:00)
Get ready to dance the night in with Tune-Yards on the West Holts stage. The obvious plus is that the Brothers cider bus is an arms length away.
3. Temples (John Peel Stage, Friday 15:00-15:40)
A contender for album of the year, this 70’s-esqe rock band will blow you away with their toxic guitar riffs and nifty hair cuts.
4. Metallica (Pyramid stage, Saturday (21:45-23:45)
The much talked about headline set from Metallica is bound to be full of hits, and maybe the odd explosion or too.
5. Fatboy Slim (Sonic, Saturday 22:30-00:30)
If Metallica aren't your thing then head over to Sonic. Having already stormed We Are Fstvl early in the summer, get ready to dance, dance dance.
6. Luke Sital-Singh (The Park Stage, Saturday 11:00-11:40)
A soulful singer-songwriter whose songs are winning hearts all the UK. With his debut album due out in August expect a to hear all the hits, hopefully in the morning sun!
7. St. Vincent (The Park Stage, Sunday 19:30-20:30)
If The Black Keys don’t take your fancy on the Pyramid Stage, then St. Vincent is a good alternative. With a fab new album under her belt, it could be the best hour of your whole weekend.
8. Jake Bugg (Acoustic Stage, Sunday 17:35-18:30)
Free up your Saturday night for something else and see Jake on the Acoustic Stage on Sunday. Beware though, people like sitting down in this tent so get there early for a good spot.
9. Jungle (John Peel Stage, Friday 13:00-13:40)
Get those toes tapping and start the weekend in style. What’s even better is Drenge are up afterwards.
10. Dolly Parton (Pyramid Stage, Sunday 16:20-17:30)
It would just be rude not to, wouldn’t it?
11. Danny & The Champions of the World (Acoustic Tent, Friday 14:30-15:10)
Your next Roadtrip band!
If you’ve never been before, you won’t believe how big it is. Don’t rush around trying to see everyone on Friday, pace yourself! Plus if it’s muddy, it will take twice as long to get everywhere. There’s always plenty going on thought, so make sure you download the Glastonbury Clashfinder to help you plan your weekend in Pilton where you’ll find a full list of stage times. Keep an eye on the BBC Introducing stage for some secret shows, and head over to The Other Stage Friday morning for the special guests at 11am.
For after hours fun, head up to The Rabbit Hole at the Park, then hit the stone circle for sunrise. If you can find it check out the 50p Tea Tent in Green Fields too, there’s nothing quite like a cheap slice of cake and good cuppa!
