Hello from Worthy Farm, home of Glastonbury. As is now tradition, this week’s Guide comes from a small, dimly-lit cabin behind the Pyramid stage, where the Guardian will bring you its exhaustive coverage of the world’s greatest music festival. In fact, even ahead of Glasto opening, our writers have already been busy pumping out news and features: there’s the customary Glasto weather report, a lovely gallery of people arriving onsite, a round up of 30 acts to catch, Alexis Petridis’s ranking of the best ever sets at the festival, and a lovely interview with teenage band Askew, one of the youngest groups to ever play at the festival.
But things really get going today with our liveblog, which should be launching right as this newsletter drops into your inboxes (I’m first up on liveblogging duties – do come and say hi in the comments). All weekend, we’ll be bringing you news, reviews, photography, video and, of course, vox pops with people dressed as Elton John/zebras/the Go Compare opera man. And on Monday, the Guardian’s G2 supplement will publish their annual sum-up of the fest, with interviews, analysis and tons more besides.
