Glastonbury DJ reveals the surprise pop acts she's been told will perform
DJ Sarah Story has revealed her top tips for those attending the star-studded festival, and the big names that could take to the stage at Worthy Farm.
This week marks another year of Glastonbury Festival, with the likes of The 1975 and Sir Rod Stewart set to perform.
DJ Sarah Story, who has been attending since 2016, has shared some of the more glamorous moments of the iconic festival, which even led to a hilarious encounter with Location, Location, Location star Kirstie Allsopp.
And as rumours continue to swirl over this year's surprise acts, fans could be treated to Lady Gaga or Gary Barlow, according to Sarah, who is set to DJ at the festival on Thursday and Friday.
She revealed: 'Rumours sweep through the industry, and someone told me yesterday that Gary Barlow will perform. I just hope he does Take That material!
'I've also heard Lady Gaga is going to make an appearance. She would fit right in with Glastonbury. I bet she'd end up dancing in NYC Downlow.'
After being a regular at Glastonbury since 2016, Sarah also shared her top tips for surviving the whole weekend, including what to avoid packing, before lifting the lid on the secret tunnels at the festival.
'If you have a production pass, you can cut through a lot of areas with these hidden tunnels and passageways,' she told Betway.
'It makes everything so much faster. There's not a lot of access to the South East corner, though, so one year it took me two hours on foot to make it from one DJ set to the next. It was so crowded, and you just had to push your way through.'
And there's plenty of time for celeb-spotting while at the festival, with Sarah revealing exactly what the VIP area is like.
'There's an area called Moonbow, which is where a lot of celebs stay. Glastonbury is an event loads of celebrities want to attend, so you do see them mingling about in the crowd,' she explained.
'I remember one year seeing Kirstie Allsopp waltzing through the crowd with a crown on her head. I screamed, 'I love you!' and she laughed. That's Glastonbury for you!' More Trending
'A lot of the celebrity campsites are very glam. I've stayed in one that had hairdressers on site, makeup artists and even a massage spa. My friend had acupuncture done.'
As for Sarah's best tips for a first-time festival attendee, she explained how important preparation is when heading to Glastonbury.
'You just cannot wrap your head around the size of the staff. There are so many people that work at Glastonbury and teams behind everything. There are hundreds of people on the ground and tons of lorries that pass through the backstage area.
'It takes a lot of prep and obviously they've been throwing this festival for a while now, so they're all pros.'

I'm a beauty writer and Clinique's new lipstick is the perfect summer makeup staple
I'm a beauty writer and Clinique's new lipstick is the perfect summer makeup staple Clinique's new Nude Honey has recently launched and beauty writer Eve can see why it's already such a hit Clinique has introduced a new Almost Lipstick into the fold: Nude Honey and beauty writer Eve Rowlands tried it out (Image: Eve Rowlands ) When it comes to wearing lip products in the summer, I personally want something that feels lightweight and that doesn't require too much maintenance. Something that stands out as something different to my natural lip colour but doesn't need too much upkeep throughout the day (nor something that melts off in the heat). And after trying out Clinique's newest Almost Lipstick launch, Nude Honey, I think I've found the perfect summer lip product. Now, I will admit, I have never really been one for nude lipstick, I tend to favour a bold red when my skin is behaving (hello Charlotte Tilbury Hollywood Vixen) in an attempt to enhance and brighten my usually quite pale complexion. On the days when I want something a little less va-va-voom, I opt for a lip balm to give my lips some much-needed nourishment. However, having tried Clinique's latest addition to its viral Black and Pink Honey Almost Lipstick empire - the new Nude Honey - I think my nude lippy days are here. Read more: Roman's go-to summer midi dress for weddings and parties now has 21% off Read more: Fashion writer's 'top picks from Ann Summers' festival collection ahead of Glastonbury Having followed the viral success of the brand's previous Almost Lipstick shades - black honey and pink honey - I had high hopes. And they were well and truly met. Firstly, the formula is silky smooth and is both shiny and creamy. It feels super nourishing and hydrating on the lips and best of all doesn't leave their dry bits with a bit of a crispy cast that my trusty lip balm hasn't quite managed to eliminate (something red lipstick tends to accentuate). Shop it here £25.00 Clinique Buy Now on Clinique Product Description Clinique's new Almost Lipstick shade Nude Honey Priced at £25 the product - which is described as somewhere between a lipstick and a lip gloss - claims to be buildable and is available at both Clinique and Boots. Of course, if £25 is a little steep, there are a number of tinted lip balms out there that'll help do the trick, for example Lanolip's pink Tinted SPF30 balm at £8.99 or KIKO Milano Coloured Lip Balm, £6.99. On first application, the colour is quite sheer and doesn't change the lip colour drastically but instead gives it depth. To add to its colour, let the lippy settle for a few minutes and then add to it - this should then create a deeper hue that is warm with brown undertones but it's too warm to wash me out. Although I will say the brand says that the colour of the lippy looks different on each wearer but is the ideal blend of warm and cool pigment. Beauty Writer Eve Rowlands wearing the Nude Honey shade in Clinique's Almost Lipstick (Image: Eve Rowlands ) As for the texture, it feels like applying lip balm thanks to smooth, shiny make up but is a tad more luxurious with its silver casing and lipstick shape. The emollient-rich formula leaves my lips looking subtly glossy - but not overly so - and without the stickiness a lip gloss delivers; a detail I love when it comes to lipsticks as it means I don't get strands of hair attached to my lips should a gust of wind blow my way. Its long and slender casing makes it convenient to carry in my handbag too as it's lightweight and slim. Plus, being relatively small - in comparison to more chunky lipstick shapes - the packaging offers elite precision during application. Now, having worn it a number of times to different occasions, one constant I noticed was that it doesn't last all day. After a few hours, I needed to reapply the product - although it wasn't too much of a bother and is typically the case with lipsticks anyway. It also may require a bit of lip liner too as I found that it bled out over my natural lip line, which needed touching up in the mirror. Article continues below I also loved that it didn't have a scent - not chemically nor sweet and sickly. While I've not yet experimented with it over or under any other lip colours, as suggested by the website, I do enjoy the boost it gives my lips when worn alone and will definitely be incorporating it into my daily beauty regimen. Get it here.

Happy Valley star James Norton feels like he has ‘become a man' after break-up
Norton, 39, said he initially found it hard but said he would always be friends with the woman, who he did not name, during a talk, called Daring To Change, on The Information stage at Glastonbury Festival on Thursday. Norton said: 'It's very f****** hard, but it happened in a very abrupt way, and it happened kind of to me, and I thought that I was on a path. 'I was about to have kids, about to get married, all that kind of stuff, and my life just turned around, completely changed direction. 'And I thought I lost the person, but I also lost the life that I was about to lead, and the kids that we named, all that kind of stuff. 'And actually, in the last year and a half, I have gone through the most monumental change as a result, and I feel like I've grown up, I feel like I've become a man. 'I suddenly feel like I've grown up, I found some friends, relationships, the outpouring of love from my family around me was amazing. 'I ended up going to a Buddhist retreat in the south of France called Plum Village, anyone been to Plum Village? If you haven't, you should go. 'It's the best place in the world, and I went because I was in this pit of pain, and now I have this community. 'It's a Zen Buddhist community, it's amazing, and if you haven't gone, really look it up, it really does change your life. 'But so much has been born from that massive, radical change.' Norton, who also played Sidney Chambers in ITV drama Grantchester, has been romantically linked to 36-year-old English actress Imogen Poots and artist Charlotte Rose Smith. During the chat, he added: 'I was very much like the furious optimist, it was hard, I love that person (the unnamed woman) so much, and I will always love her, she's amazing, and we will have a relationship forever I hope, and there's no resentment. 'And actually, in a weird way, I kind of owe her so much, because she was the one who took it upon herself to make that massive decision, and she gave me a gift, she gave me this opportunity to grow up.' The London-born actor starred as Tommy Lee Royce in BBC drama Happy Valley, and has also appeared in Doctor Who, crime drama McMafia and sci-fi drama The Nevers.
