The first shot was fired a while back when Noel Gallagher (of the rock band Oasis) offered up his opinion of Jay-Z being chosen as the headliner of this year's Glastonbury Festival in the UK. Gallagher's argument was that there was no need to change the rock-driven format of the huge summer festival, seeming to also have a problem with the selection of Jay in particular. Jay-Z bit his t

This is a nightmare. I am wading through miles of mud, carrying a rucksack, sleeping bag, camp bed, pillow, and a trail of loo roll, bin bags and waterproofs.It goes without saying that it’s raining, torrentially. Water’s going down my face, into my eyes, up my sleeves, down the inside of my jeans and in my new wellies as the camp bed bang…
Pretty weak lineup this year, sadly. Remember when they had truly great bands like Radiohead and Pulp headlining? Arctic Monkeys and The Killers? What a joke.
Non avevo mai sentito parlare del Glastonbury Festival, leggendo dal sito apprendo che è il largest greenfield music and performing arts festival in the world.Vista la foto qui sopra - presa gentilmente da qui - penso sia opportuno organizzare qualcosa per il prossimo anno, vero Giorgio/Mario/Matteo!?Maxp.s. magari non in Camper...

Ad Iggy Pop si potrebbe chiedere correttezza in tutti gli ambiti, ma non in quello politico.
Il cantante americano, leader degli Stooges, avrebbe fatto una figuraccia durante la sua intervista dalla BBc al festival di Glastonbury; infatti, Iggy, avrebbe raccontato un’anedoto dicendo di essere stato nei “negozi paki”, ma la parola “paki” era intesa come pakistano nel senso dispregiativo del linguaggio. Si sarebbero subito alzate le protesta della Commissione per l’eguaglianza razziale che avrebbe bollato il rocker come poco sensibile e di poco tatto, intanto la BBC si è dovuta scusare per i fatti avvenuti.

Prince William is reportedly set to attend this weekend’s Glastonbury festival. The 25-year-old prince is planning on flying himself and four friends to the Somerset site in a private helicopter. However, Prince William, who is a trained pilot, will not be staying in a tent and has instead booked into an up market camper van.
