Summer Music Festivals: Will Glastonbury Be Soggy This Year?

June 19, 2008 at 12:00 PM | by | Comments (0)

Eight days to go til the 2008 Glastonbury Festival kicks off in Somerset, England on June 27. This year, the line-up includes James Blunt, The Verve, Crowded House, Kings of Leon and a long, long list of others.

Most people had to go through a complicated rigmarole of registering their details plus a passport photo before they could buy tickets, but there are some last-minute tix available which don't need a registration number--you will have to totally prove it's you at the gate though.

They're expecting around 140,000 people, so you won't be on your own. Camping out at Glastonbury can get soggy, so pray for a good weather forecast or be boy-scout prepared.
