EMI will make recordings of its artists' performances at Glastonbury next weekend available to download via the Guardian's website. Fans will be able to visit http://www.guardian.co.uk/glastonburydownload and access classic tracks plus recordings to be made this weekend of the likes of The Bees, Starsailor, Air and the Chemical Brothers.
Commenting on the download service Guardian Unlimited's head of commercial development Adam Freeman told reporters: "This is a media first for GML. EMI has a fantastic range of artists and is constantly looking for creative ways to share its music. This collaboration will bring great music to the massive audience of Guardian Unlimited music fans in an innovative, cost-effective way."
Whether the service will feature EMI's biggest star at Glasto this year - Mr Paul McCartney - remains to be seen.
