Ever wondered what it is like to be a journalist at one of the world's biggest festivals?

Whilst many enjoy the makeshift and often muddy ventures that being a punter at Glastonbury involves, members of the press and other officials are able to take in the festival differently to everyone else.

It isn't quite glamping but there are a number of perks that come hand in hand with working at the festival. Read the full story here.

Scouting for Girls announced as Acoustic Stage line-up revealed

The line-up for the Acoustic Stage at Glastonbury Festival 2022 has been revealed.

Pop band Scouting for Girls will join old favourites like The Waterboys and Suzanne Vega on the line-up. Read more here.

Glade area line-up confirmed to include Annie Mac, Rudimental and more

The line-up for the Glade area has been confirmed.

Back in 2019 star DJ Fatboy Slim topped the billing for the Pilton festival's dance area. Other acts then included Hollywood star Idris Elba with his own DJ set and snooker legend Steve Davis, also turning his hand to music.

Davis returns for the 2022 line-up, along with well-known DJs associated with the BBC's Radio One, such as Annie Mac and Danny Howard. Casetteboy, known for his online musical mocking of famous faces, is also on the bill. Read more here.

Hoosiers' frontman says headline festival slot is 'a dream come true'

Irwin Sparkes, frontman of pop band The Hoosiers, has said it'll be 'a dream come true' to headline Glastonbury Festival's Field of Avalon stage this year.

The band will be performing alongside fellow Avalon Stage headliners McFly and Sugababes.

In a light-hearted video posted to the official Field of Avalon Twitter account, the musician joked that The Hoosiers had first played Glastonbury 'in 1922' and added, more seriously, that the group 'couldn't be more thrilled to be back where it all began'. Read the full story here.
