Did you watch the Glastonbury mud-fest on the telly last year? Bet you were glad you never got round to buying a ticket. For all anyone knows, this year's Glasto might have brilliant weather, but who cares? It's still infinitely better to check out the bands from the enviable perspective of your couch and within easy walking distance of a well-stocked fridge, a washing machine and a toilet which isn’t full to the brim with mung bean
The bill at this year's festival is as cool as we've come to expect from Michael Eavis’s annual mega-barn dance. Primal Scream, Blur and Pulp headline the main stage; Chemical Brothers, Lo-Fidelity Allstars and Roni Size cut loose in the dance tent, while the more adventurous sofa-surfers might want to keep an eye out for Spiritualized, Faithless and Red Snapper.
'l'm looking forward to keeping dry at this year's Glastonbury and seeing as many bands as physically possible,’ says Jo Whiley, who’ll be presenting the coverage along with John Peel and Jools Holland. You’d be better
