First of all, I hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas yesterday! Eating too much and watching TV seems to be part of the deal every Christmas and so most people would have definitely been able to tick those boxes. Now Christmas is out of the way, we head towards the New Year, and new decade, of 2010… and we are well and truly in festival speculation season.
On Christmas Eve, it was announced that two acts were confirmed as Glastonbury headliners for 2010. One is still a big secret but the other has been announced and arguably highlights the calibre that this festival season is likely to have.
It has been confirmed that U2 will headline the Friday night during Glastonbury week, which is 23rd to 27th of June in 2010. Apparently Saturday night’s headline act has also been confirmed in principle but will not be announced until at least January, and they are looking at options for the Sunday night.
It is not event 2010 yet but Glastonbury is being sorted as we speak. Why? Because this year is a very special year in Glasto terms. It is the festival’s 40th anniversary this year and so you can understand why the organisers want it to be a little special. There are rumours that Bob Dylan and the Rolling Stones are being lined up to give the festival a little extra kick.
All of the huge names that are being bandied about go to show just how big the festival season has become in the UK. There is nothing quite like experiencing music that way. The mud, camping and solidarity amongst music fans has to be seen to be believed so if you have yet to head to Glastonbury then now is the time… especially in the amazing anniversary year that is being lined up.
