Mobile company Orange and phone manufacturer Sony Ericsson will stage a series of events around the country next month to celebrate the launch of Glastonbury The Film, that previously reported new rockumentary directed by Julien Temple which traces the 35 year history of the legendary music festival.
The film has been cut together from some 900 hours of film, mixing key performances from across the years with interviews with musicians, music fans and Glastonbury locals. Artists who appear include The Velvet Underground, Nick Cave, Radiohead, The Scissor Sisters, Babyshambles, Bjork and Coldplay.
Orange, who have had an association with the music festival for some time now, will stage launch events for the film in London, Bristol, Leeds and Glasgow, each featuring acoustic performances and celebrity appearances as well as a screening of the movie.
Confirming their involvement, Julian Diment, Head Of Entertainment Brand Marketing for Orange UK, told reporters: "We are delighted to be able to continue our support for Glastonbury following five successful years of festival partnership. The Glastonbury Film is an exciting initiative for us to be involved in as it combines two of our customers' biggest loves, music and film. We look forward to being part of a great tour."
