Glastonbury News Round-Up

There are just three days to go until the Glastonbury festival begins. These are some of the headlines that have caught my eye in the build-up.

Bruce Springsteen has told Michael Eavis he wants to play a three-hour set on Saturday night.

That won't please Sean Lennon who has got a bit uppity about the ageing Glastonbury headliner. He is apparently "shocked" and "outraged" that the Boss is playing.

According to Angry Ape, Maximo Park are using their Facebook page to let fans tell them what they want to hear in their Glastonbury set.

For those who don't like to rough it, MyDeco has an essential guide to "glamping" (that's "glamorous camping").

Clash Music report that Billy Bragg will be presenting performances by ex-priosners who've been involved with the Jail Guitar Doors charity at the Joe Strummermemorial stone on Saturday night.

And finally... the Nursing Times reports that anyone between the ages of 15 and 24 can get a free chlamydia test at the festival.
