GLASTONBURY FESTIVAL
2012

There will be no Glastonbury Festival in 2012
But there will be other festivals going on around the country so check our fancy dress page which will give you loads of ideas for how to look daft at any festival. Or take a look at our Festival Gear pages or our Top Tips and Checklist pages which will still apply to whatever festival you choose to go to in 2012!

It's all gone down the pan!
Why there will be no Glastonbury 2012 next year. According to the Guardian, the reason there will be no Glastonbury festival in 2012 is simply because there aren't enough portable loos or police available with the olympics being staged in the summer. It's been reported that the Olympic organising committee have ordered around 14,000 portable toilet units!

Favourite Albums
Top albums that somehow keep creeping to the top of our playlists

Top Albums

Broken Bells listen
Top tracks: Trap Door, Citizen


You might think the vocalist on this album sounds familiar, especially if your a Shins fan. It's a collaboration between artist–producer Danger Mouse (billed by his real name, Brian Burton) and James Mercer, the lead vocalist and guitarist for the Portland indie rock band The Shins. It's a great album that really grows on you 4 out of 5.

Delphic - Acolyte listen
Top tracks: Halcyon, Counterpoint, Acolyte, Doubt

This indie dance crossover is a classic, reminiscient of fresh, new sounding New Order. The tracks burn themselves into your brain, great sound live too, the tracks benefit from the louder, full on live experience. 4 out of 5


Midlake - Courage of Others listen
Top tracks: Acts of Man, Fortune

Following their excellent second album, this is a more thoughtful laid back mellow affair, less immediate, taking time to grow on you, still retaining that mid 70's mellow rock sound and beautiful vocal style that remains their trademark. You'll hear all sorts of influences in here from Pink Floyd, Fleetwood Mac, Jethro Tull to Radiohead. 4 out of 5

Toddla T- Skanky, Skanky listen
Top tracks: Manabadman, Road Trip & Better

Toddla T is a Kingston raggamuffin trapped in the body
of a skinny white Yorkshireman called Tom Bell.
‘Skanky Skanky’, shouldn’t work, but it does .more
4 out of 5
