Glastonbury 2009: the setup
The muddy road to Glasto
Jon Sherrard, Wed 24 Jun 2009, 5:06 pm BST
Welcome to Glastonbury Festival 2009 - MusicRadar style! Yup, we're plodding our way through Worthy Farm as we type, but rather than saving ourselves for a 10,000 word essay on why Neil Young didn't play Revolution Blues, we're going to keep you updated by photo gallery, by Twitter (look for the Tweets marked #glasto and join in the conversation by replying @musicradar) and by carrier pigeon if we bloody have to!
And so… let's get it on! We'll start with this, the very first of our MusicRadar @ Glastonbury photo galleries. We'll be running these everyday and bringing you the sights and sounds of Glasto from as many stages as we can.
However until anyone actually starts playing, you'll have to settle for this preliminary report from intrepid RadarMan, the already-dishevelled Jon Sherrard.
Over the next few days, Jon has ditched the delights of backstage to tell it like it is - in amongst the masses, woefully unprepared, schlepping from stage to stage with only carrier bags to protect his Nikes and waking up next to a tent full of Borat impersonators.
No, really. Just check out page six...
