And one last festival add. Last one, promise. Hard-Fi have been added to the Glasto bill, somewhat last minute. The CMU favourites will headline the Leftfield Stage on Saturday night, presumably giving us a little sneaky preview of some of the new material due to appear on their second album 'Once Upon A Time In The West' which is due out in September. The band aren't really doing any festival dates this year, keen instead to get that album completed, but they say they decided to do Glastonbury after being invited by the Love Music Hate Racism people who programme the Leftfield Stage.
I hope Richard Archer et al have some strong wellies, because, as we mentioned yesterday, it is looking like it's going to be a wet weekend at Worthy Farm again. With heavy showers expected in the lead up to and during the festival, meteorology types are predicting that it's going to be another mud bath Glasto. The Met Office's Steve Wortley told the BBC: "Given that we've got a wet week, I think it's going to be the normal quagmire". But Glasto man Michael Eavis says that, despite the weather forecast, he isn't expecting onsite flooding quite like last time round, in 2005, mainly because they've spent £100,000 on drainage across the farm. He told reporters: "We've got huge concrete pipes that will take the water from A to B and take it from the river and then it goes to Burnham-on-Sea, so it's a great system. So we're almost looking forward to the rain, in order to see the pipes working after all this investment".
