Glastonbury Picks 2008

Alright, Glastonbury is less than a week away and so I thought I would offer up some guidance through the maze of bands and stages. Anything there will be good, but DO NOT just hang around the main 2 stages - Get out and about, even try out the jazz world.

Here's a few picks from me, they are in no particular order, but if they have a video on here I have linked to it.

Friday Editors, Kate Nash and possibly The Fratellis
Saturday Jay-Z
Sunday Goldfrapp

Saturday Hot Chip, Elbow, The Black Kids and possibly Los Campesinos
Sunday Groove Armada, The Pigeon Detectives and possibly The Zutons

John Peel Stage
Friday Reverend and The Makers, MGMT, The Kills, The Ting Tings,
Saturday The Couteeners, British Sea Powwer, Holy Fuck and possibly The Teenagers

Apologies, I ran out of time going down the list, enjoy your trip to Glastonbury and take the time to walk thedges either before the shows start or in the night.
