Glastonbury is underway as of 25 June but really starts to get in full swing when the big names come to play and perform on the big stages from Friday 26 June onwards with the finale and some huge named stars on Sunday 28 June. 140,000 fans are expected to attend this event, this really is one hell of an event, and it looks like this could be a scorching and highly unusual dry one.

Our coverage of this event last year was for want of a better word “patchy” to say the least as we were still a fairly new site with limited access to any form of photo or video coverage of the event and we really didn’t have the first idea what we were doing?? Hopefully things have changed this year, we still don’t know what we are doing??, but we should have access to live photos of the event, videos is debatable, normally one of the big brit channels covers the event at some stage and we’ll try and get some sort of live vid stuff here as well. Some non performing celebs do attend this event including Kate Moss on a yearly basis, if she’s there and trying to grab that microphone like she did last year, we will try to bring you photos of that as well and any other female celeb goings on. Any FJ Girls visitors and members of our forum, if you are going to the event and have your own footage (Decent) whack it on the forum. If its good it will appear on this main news blog with full credits…..you’ll be a star!
Next year you never know we may even be at this event and produce our own coverage, a dream at present, could become reality…watch this space!!
Bit of a British Institution Glastonbury born out of the more humble Hippy Happy days where it was an underground event that only a select few knew about but which has exploded into the massive event it now is, that people and artists from the four corners of the globe want to appear at. It’s just one of those things you have to do in your lifetime, do a Glasto, walk around and camp in a fluorescent green tent with pink polka dots in muddy fields, flower power wellies, and watch big name and not so big names in the middle of a muddy field in the pouring rain! Lady GaGa is appearing, and with her wilder ways she will fit in a treat at this event, and we are sure she is keen to have this on her music CV. Whenever she does a future interview and the question is asked “Did you ever perform live at Glastonbury?” she can reply with a twinkle in her eye and say “Oh Yes” and the interviewer can reply “Then you have truly lived!”
The 2009 Festival does not fall short and promises to be one hell of a show and it is one massive line up.
This is a sample of the line up from glastonburyfestivals.co.uk from the main stages performers poster, check the website for the full monty with regard to all performances on all stages as it is huge.
We’ve included The Pyramid Stage, Other Stage and The John Peel Stage and The Jazz World Stage for Sunday, check and you’ll see why, and these in our opinion are the main ones of note where the bigger names perform. Female Artists highlighted….ones’ we’ve heard of that is! Please note all performances are subject to change!
