Thousands to descend on Glastonbury Festival as Worthy Farm opens its gates
Campers arriving at Worthy Farm in Pilton can expect a mixed bag of sunshine and rain throughout the week with 'with sunny spells and scattered showers expected throughout the day' on Wednesday, according to forecasters. This year's event will see headline performances from British rock/pop band The 1975, veteran singer Neil Young and his band the Chrome Hearts, and US pop star Olivia Rodrigo. One of the more controversial acts performing is Irish rap trio Kneecap who have been in the headlines recently after one of their members was charged with a terror offence. Liam Og O hAnnaidh was charged for allegedly displaying a flag in support of proscribed terrorist organisation Hezbollah at a gig in London in November last year. Last week the 27-year-old, who performs under the stage name Mo Chara, was cheered by hundreds of supporters as he arrived with bandmates Naoise O Caireallain and JJ O Dochartaigh at Westminster Magistrates' Court in 'Free Mo Chara' T-shirts. He was released on unconditional bail until his next hearing at the same court on August 20. Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has said the group's performance at the festival, taking place on the West Holts Stage at 4pm on Saturday, is not 'appropriate' and Conservative Party leader Kemi Badenoch said she thought the BBC 'should not be showing' Kneecap's performance. Performing in the coveted Sunday tea-time legends slot this year is Sir Rod Stewart who previously said he will be joined by his former Faces band member Ronnie Wood, as well as some other guests. His performance is to come after the Maggie May singer postponed a string of concerts in the US, due to take place this month, while he recovered from flu. Organiser Emily Eavis has said the festival, which has capacity for 210,000 people, has sold 'a few thousand less tickets' this year in a bid to avoid overcrowding. In an appearance on the Sidetracked podcast, Eavis outlined the changes that have been made to this year's festival and said music area Shangri-La is 'going full trees and green space' which is 'completely the opposite to anything they've done in the past'. Among the acts expected to draw large crowds this year is alternative pop star Charli XCX, who will perform songs from her genre-defining sixth studio album Brat. She is performing on Saturday night on the Other Stage, 15 minutes before the West Holts stage is graced by US rapper Doechii, another artist who has exploded in popularity in the last year. Other performers include Irish singer CMAT, Prada singer Raye, US musician Brandi Carlile, Nile Rodgers and Chic, hip-hop star Loyle Carner, US pop star Gracie Abrams, indie outfit Wet Leg, Mercury Prize-winning jazz quintet Ezra Collective, US rapper Denzel Curry, and rising star Lola Young. The line-up also features a number of acts listed as TBA, as well as a mysterious act called Patchwork, who will take to the Pyramid Stage on Saturday. This year the BBC will provide live streams of the five main stages – Pyramid, Other, West Holts, Woodsies and The Park. On Wednesday at 10pm the festival will open with a theatre and circus act set in the Pyramid Arena which will showcase acrobatic and circus performances, culminating in a fireworks display.

No, I'm not going to bloody Glasto
'Are you going to Glasto?' Just the name – in that smug, shortened form – is enough to set my left eyelid twitching, the way it does when I read emails from people who still include pronouns in their signature. 'Glasto', trailing the self-satisfied whiff of BBC executives high-tailing it from Hampstead on a taxpayer-funded jolly, of hedgies glamping in a five-grand-a-night yurt and the sort of inherited wealth that means you crash in a mate's eight-bedroom Old Rectory within the free ticket zone, rather than camping cheek-by-unwashed-jowl with the masses. No, I am not going to Glastonbury. The last time I went – and I can tell you the exact year, because I found the programme while going through some boxes in the attic – was 2004. I think it was the first year the Great Wall went up to stop people scaling the fence and, getting there late on the Wednesday, we had to pitch our tents hard against it – which was like camping in the shadow of the Berlin Wall, though less convivial. That was the year I swore I'd never go again: the crowds were insane (150,000) and just moving between stages took at least two hours. The five days were an exhausting feat of endurance with the odd highlight (James Brown on the Pyramid stage, Orbital headlining the Other Stage on the Sunday night) but it was such a crush to move around the site, you were doing well if you managed to see even a couple of bands a day. Glastonbury also has the worst sanitation of any festival I've ever been to, either as a punter or when I was working for the news teams of Radio 1 and, later, 6 Music. (See Julian Temple-Morris's 2006 documentary for a taster.) It was only bearable back in 2004 because my cousin's band were playing the New Bands stage and I had a backstage pass so could use their loos. (Shamefully, I didn't even watch their set as they clashed with P.J. Harvey.) Apparently there are showers at Glastonbury, but I've never had one – or met anyone who has. This year a whopping 210,000 tickets have been sold. A built-up area of over 200,000 is classed as a city by the Office for National Statistics. From today, Worthy Farm in Somerset will have a temporary population somewhere between that of Reading and Wolverhampton. Even before you look at the line-up, which is lacklustre (my only must-see would be Neil Young, but I have tickets for his Hyde Park concert next month; these days I only go to gigs where I can sleep in my own bed), just the logistics of getting around the site are about as appealing as the SAS selection march over the Brecon Beacons. You can, of course, smoke weed and take shrooms to mitigate the privation – only one of your mates will invariably do a Syd Barrett and require looking after for the rest of the weekend. And depending on the weather, there will be sunburn or trench-foot – or both – to contend with. You should also forget any Alexa Chung-style outfits you had planned; England in June can be extraordinarily cold and unsettled (remember, D-Day had to be postponed). I vaguely recall watching Paul McCartney while I was wrapped in a damp blanket from the Oxfam stall that smelt of the old person who'd died in it. Of course, moaning that Glastonbury isn't what it used to be is all part of the ageing process – I get that. 'What do you mean, you need money, darling?' asked my mother when I wanted her to sub me for my ticket sometime in the late 1990s. 'I didn't pay anything when I went.' She went to the first Glastonbury (then the Pilton Pop Festival, but that moniker was swiftly dropped, presumably being less marketable to Trustafarian twats). They watched Marc Bolan and drank free milk from the dairy. This year a pint of festival cider will cost you around £7, which isn't outrageous – but remember to make it last because the queues for both bars and bogs will be apocalyptic. And good luck finding your friends ever again if you need to head off on your own during the 1975's set for a pee. Apparently there are showers at Glastonbury, but I've never had one – or met anyone who has Even if you can get close enough to the stage – rather than watching on the giant screens – your vision will be obscured by the serried ranks of Palestine flags. One of the most wilful misconceptions about Glastonbury is that it's a lovely crowd of chilled old hippies. Try sticking your head under a standpipe meant for drinking water because you just can't go another day without washing your hair and hear the queue of knit-your-own-Guardian readers erupt with language that would make a paratrooper blush. There's vast cognitive dissonance between the festival giving millions to charities like Greenpeace and the grotesque amounts of rubbish and single-use plastic (mostly in the form of abandoned tents, wellies and ponchos) left behind. This year there's added spice – in addition to the usual 'festival flu' and STDs – with warning of a measles outbreak from the UK Health Security Agency, due to all the unvaccinated Gen Z-ers, born in the wake of the MMR scare. There have also been thousands of cases of Covid reported by people who went to Download earlier this month. But there's no need to spank nearly £400 on a Glastonbury ticket (you can't, in any case – they sold out in 35 minutes). To recreate the experience at home, just do the following: stop washing and use baby wipes instead. Retch every time you open the bathroom door and give yourself a UTI by going for as long as you can without peeing. Throw your phone in a bush. Eat a burrata and butternut squash flatbread wrap and then bin £20. Fail to find your bed and have a couple of hours of fitful sleep outside while playing industrial techno through a tinny speaker. Oh – and, crucially, watch it all on TV. That's really what all those Glasto-goers will be doing anyway.

Millions of Brits can unlock two new TV channels for FREE with no change to their subscription in major shake-up
All recommendations within this article are informed by expert editorial opinion. If you click on a link in this story we may earn affiliate revenue. STREAM COME TRUE Millions of Brits can unlock two new TV channels for FREE with no change to their subscription in major shake-up MILLIONS of Brits are set to unlock TWO new TV channels for FREE with no change to their subscription. Virgin TV customers can expect the freshly added channels to the guides in a major shake-up. 1 Millions of Brits are set to unlock TWO new TV channels for FREE Credit: Getty They will be FAST channels, Free Ad-Supported Streaming Television, which means they will be available through broadband connection. This means customers will need to have a Virgin TV 360 box, Virgin Stream or a Virgin V6 box with Wi-Fi or ethernet. The new channels are British Screen Classics on 450 and wedotv movies on 451. British Screen Classics offers a 24/7 stream of hits from ITV Studios and Studio Canal. It features adored titles from every genre, including comedy, horror, war, adventure, drama, and romance. Meanwhile wedotv boasts over 500 films which are rolled out across Romance Mondays and Sci-fi Wednesdays. This comes as 33 more FAST channels are also accessible on Virgin TV, including Inside Crime, Homes Under The Hammer, Red Bull TV, Hell's Kitchen, and many more. Virgin Media O2 Chief TV and Entertainment Officer, David Bouchier said: "Virgin TV is home to the best in entertainment and more choice for our subscribers. We offer enhanced value with fantastic on demand and channel content at no extra cost, including two brand-new streaming movie channels. "On top of the existing streaming channels available to Virgin TV customers, they now have even more choice and 24/7 access to exciting movies for free." The new channels can be found on the Electronic Programme Guide (EPG) on your Virgin TV box. This comes as customers have been warned BBC iPlayer will stop working on some of Virgin's TV boxes in a matter of weeks. The Sun can exclusively reveal how telecoms giant has been informing affected customers about the changes that are due to take place on July 23. Those impacted are being offered a free upgrade to a newer Virgin Media box. The firm says it has written directly to customers who have accessed BBC iPlayer in the last six months. Only a small portion are expected to be affected due to the TV box's age. The boxes affected are the older TiVo models - V6 and Virgin TV 360 boxes will continue to offer access to BBC iPlayer as normal. And, a much-loved sports channel has disappeared from Virgin Media boxes - but there's a way to continue enjoying the matches for free. Channel operator DAZN has made changes that affect all viewers, whether they're on Virgin Media or watching via other platforms. But, Virgin Media often has sweetened its TV and broadband deals with free tech to attract new customers. And right now, you can bag yourself a free 9th Gen iPad when you sign up for its £88.99 MegaVolt bundle. I've covered similar Virgin Media deals like this before, and they consistently deliver great value for money. One of the most recent included up to £100 bill credit for new TV and broadband customers. This month, the provider is throwing a free 9th generation Apple iPad exclusively to those opting for the MegaVolt package. The 18-month contract is £88.99 per month, and gets you Virgin broadband, TV, and an O2 SIM, It's packed with top features, including Virgin Media's fastest Gig1 Fibre broadband with speeds of up to 1130Mbps. That's ideal for busy households with lots of devices competing for bandwidth. Of course, that free iPad is the icing on the cake here, and it's a fantastic gadget to make the most of the super-fast speeds. Whether that's streaming your favourite shows, keeping little ones quiet for an hour, or browning the web.
