Tania was a little unsure of what to do with the first part of her day. The Previous evening she had seen Gorillaz over Groove Armada. “I had previously seen Groove Armada who were amazing, but I wanted to give Gorillaz a try. I must say it wasn’t as good as I expected.” As for today she was thinking of heading down to the cabaret area. “I fancy seeing something a little bit different from music so I think I might head down there. One band she did intend on seeing today was Muse: “They are a huge live act and a band I must see!”

Molly and Annie had a rather exciting day yesterday. After spending a fair proportion of the day working their way through the crowds in the Pyramid area, they finally made it to the front for their big act, Snoop Dogg.

87

When the creater Charlie Mcfarley came up with the idea for his Slumba-rave party, he wanted to combine the cosyness of a sleep over with the craziness of the rave. This brilliant idea has now become the key attraction of the Shangri-la. After waiting in a queue of eager festival-goers you enter the hotel, where you are asked to remove your wellies and invited to try on some dressing gowns. The whole place is decorated in flowery wallpaper and with giant sized beds to sit or dance on. In true sleep-over style, cartoon like maids spray the party people with lavender spritz and there is even somewhere to get a massage or a pedicure. A completely barmy, unique Glasto experience.

Julie and Jay-Jay having a great time at Glastonbury

HOUR

Julie has been to every Glastonbury since 1992 and she decided to let her grandson experience the excitement of the festival, as soon as he arrived he said it was ‘just magical’. They are heading towards the kidz field as Jay-Jay loves it there. Julie managed to find the stone circle which is something they she hasn’t managed in all her 18 years of Glastonbury experience. In 1998 she managed to get backstage passes and met legend Joe Strummer. When asked why she keeps coming back she said, ’because I just love it!’. Both her and her grandson definitely had the Glastonbury spirit!

HOUR

76

Arcadia was packed for MC Mash Clan’s set. It was really hard to get close – and they closed The Old Railway Track shortly after we arrived to stop anyone else getting in. It’s like stepping directly into a battle scene in the Matrix. The explosions were so intense that they shook and the ground seemed to light up the sky for miles around. The mix of thumping dance music and pyrotechnics is unparalleled. You just don’t see stuff like this anywhere else. more...

There’s a big dance scene at Glastonbury. And it’s not just confined to the small hours of the morning.

A few days ago this was just a pile of sand. The artist are gradually stripping back the layers to reveal a sculpture. When it’s finished, at 4pm on Sunday, everyone is invited to turn up to kick it in! Then people can make their own sand sculptures and indulge in a bit of sandalism of their own.

HOUR

65

Tom, Hannah, Emma and Ollie were struggling to keep their cool as temperatures soared to 26 degrees this afternoon. Some quick thinking and two air beds later and the gang had improvised a fantastic sun canopy in-between their tents – genius!

HOUR

64

Being a huge Gorillaz fan there was no chance that Tom was missing them last night. “It was one of the best gigs of my life. It was not necessarily a crowd pleaser due to their song choices but it made it all the more special for me.” His plan for this evening was to head over to the Glade stage and catch Sub Focus: “I will miss Muse but I think Sub Focus will be epic.”

HOUR

Jackson Browne and Seasick Steve on the Pyramid Stage, Kate Nash and Imogen Heap on the Other Stage, Scorcher and Skepta in the East Dance tent, The Wurzels on the Avalon Stage … how do you choose where to go on a Saturday afternoon at Glastonbury? more...

If you’ve ever doubted that Yetis exist, here’s proof! This abominable snowman has stayed up all night partying whilst everyone’s been in bed, but that doesn’t stop him from making the best of his costume and giving some unknowing campers a right scare.

Rob and friends taking a break from interpreting

HOUR

51

Block 9 was awesome tonight – dance music underneath a crashed Northern Line London Underground train.

Tom and Fiona loving the dance music at Block 9

HOUR

52

HOUR

51

Katie and Kat: “We’re nurses from Manchester and this is our first festival – not even our first Glastonbury. It’s the only festival we’ve ever been to and we’re loving it! Dizzy was great, Rolf too. Our highlight so far through was seeing Bodger and Badger at the kids field”

On the way to Club Dada, via the Miniscule of Sound

HOUR

51

Amy from Norwich: “I wanted to check out the Miniscule of Sound – the world’s smallest club. They only let six people in at once and if felt a bit claustrophobic although they still have two bouncers on the door and they asked me if I’d been taking drugs, before they’d let me in.”

HOUR

50

Oliver: “The DJ Farmers had a huge crowd jumping around to The Prodigy tonight on The Common. Wellies compulsory and a ‘sticker’ prize for the first person who managed to name each track, although it was hard enough just being able to understand the farmers’ thick West Country accents!”

Fiona, Fabrielle and their daughter Tegwen

HOUR

49

Fabrielle: “We’ve been coming to Glastonbury for about 20 years. Fiona is working here this year so we’ve bought our ten month old daughter, Tegwen, with us. She’s got her own pair of mini ear-defenders – they work really well! She even slept through New Model Army this afternoon”

This isn’t just any billboard. This is a Glastonbury billboard. We came across this patchwork billboard on the way to the Dance Village by the Lower Mead campsite. It’s used as a meeting point, a chilling place and just a great thing to stop and stare at and try to read all the messages.
