Nobody has been signed up yet but the organiser has promised at least one band from each of its 40 years of existence. So far rumours have said headliner acts include U2, Radiohead and Beyoncé. The 100,000+ tickets sold-out in 12 hours! This year's event took several weeks to sell-out and the year before that (2008) it didn't sell out till the day of the event because of the bad weather in previous years. This year's event included Bruce Springsteen, Neil Young and Blur which must've helped sales, as well as the fact it's the 40th anniversary and the good weather from the previous two events. I don't care who plays or what the weather's like.

I am! I've considered trying for tickets the last couple of years, but sometimes I don't have control over when I'm off work and when I'm not.

Awesome! I know what you mean about work and time off. I wanted to go the last couple years but missed the deadline the first year and couldn't afford it this year. And even though it's gonna put a financial strain to go next year, I felt like it would be the ideal way to celebrate the end of my legal studies!

But here's the deal, tickets have sold-out. However registration will re-open on October 12th. Registration is essential before you can buy a ticket. It involves filling in a form here: http://www.glastonburyregistration.co.uk/ - and uploading a passport like photo of you. You get a registration number and then you use that to buy a ticket.

As tickets have sold-out, you'll only be able to buy a ticket from people who cancel their ticket for next year. Register for the thing on the 12th and I'll keep you informed of when you can try to buy a ticket.

It would be so great if you could eventually make it. I'm going with a really cool group of people, but it would be even better if you were there!

Watch this space. :)

Ah I can confirm that the second round of tickets will be sold early next year. So register on the 12th and I'll let you know the exact date & time to buy your ticket.
