The threat of rain is never far away at Glastonbury Festival (Yui Mok/PA)
(Picture: PA Wire)Even if you have made no active attempt to read about Glastonbury, it’s seemingly impossible not to know: it’s taking place this weekend, for the first time in person since 2019, with a threat of downpours and thunderstorms, amid a train strike as 200,000 people attempt to get to Somerset. Obligatory preface out of the way.
Those with tickets are already likely to be Worthy Farm-bound, while the rest of us at home are left with the BBC’s coverage, almost certainly to be described as ‘wall to wall’.
