| Glastonbury Festival Världens största greenfield festival för musik och scenkonst i Pilton, England. Glastonburyfestivalen strävar efter att uppmuntra och stimulera ungdomskultur från hela världen i alla dess former, som popmusik, dansmusik, jazz, folkmusik, teater, drama, mim, cirkus, film, poesi, produktdesign, måleri, skulptur och textil konst. En stor del av festivalen har anslagits för komplementär och alternativ medicin, demonstrationer och manifestationer av miljövänlig teknik, olika former av religiösa uttryck, och ett forum för att diskutera miljö, sociala och moraliska frågor. Glastonburyfestivalen arrangerades för första gången 1970 och har sedan 1981 återkommit varje år. Genrerna bland artisterna på festivalen är väldigt varierande och exempelvis har Scissor Sisters, Shakira, Pet Shop Boys, Stevie Wonder, Slash och Snoop Dogg spelat där. http://www.glastonburyfestivals.co.uk/ |

During an interview with Nick Grimshaw on Radio 1 this morning, Muse's Matt Bellamy, who headlines the festival's Friday night Pyramid stage slot, invited Adele to duet on stage with him.
Muse will become the first act in history to have headlined every night on the Pyramid stage when they return to Worthy Farm for the third time this year, and when asked what advice they would give to Adele ahead of her first headline slot, Bellemy said "The best thing to do would be to come the night before, and watch us, and come on and sing a song with us - sing ‘Feeling Good’ or something, take the pressure off, like a no pressure little moment like that. Or just watch a few acts, and get a feel for the stage before you go on.”
Here's hoping Adele might take him up on the offer!
The original 120,000 tickets sold out in less than half an hour back in October, but if you haven’t managed to get your hands on Glastonbury tickets this year, it’s not too late! This year the ticket resale of a limited number of cancelled or refunded tickets is being held on Thursday 14th April and Sunday 17th April.
You’ll need to make sure you’ve registered by 5pm on 13th April though to be able to take part in the resale.
Here’s the dates you need:
-Thursday 14th April 6pm. A “limited quantity” of COACH tickets. These are tickets only for people getting to the festival by coach
-Sunday 17th April 9am. General admission.
No deposit scheme is offered, so have the full amount ready. The exact number of tickets being resold is not known.
The full line-up for Glastonbury was announced at the end of March, with Coldplay, Muse and Adele headlining the Pyramid stage.
If you missed out on a Glastonbury 2014 ticket in October last year, then you may still be able to get one in our ticket resale, on 24th and 27th April. A limited number of cancelled/refunded tickets - available following our payment balance window closing earlier this month - will go on sale in two stages:
The resale for Ticket + Coach packages will take place at 7pm BST on Thursday, 24th April, followed by a resale of General Admission Tickets, at 9am BST on Sunday, 27th April.
If you would like to get a ticket in the resale, you will need to be registered.
