Will we be able to watch it live?

 

If not,there are gonna be live professional videos ? :D

 

Normally the BBC show the headline performances live, plus highlights from the day, there will probably be other tv cameras there.

It is really interesting that there is a longer gap between the last festivals and Glasto.

On the one hand of course fpr the album and the last actions to finish it...on the other hand there is space to change the setlist or show in a way...

 

...also it was very interesting that the band visit the place again to plan their show (remember the pic of Phil?).

 

So it wouldn't be a big surprise if they will surprise us! ;=)

I'll be very pissed off if the whole of Coldplay's set is not shown live on the BBC on Saturday night.

Probably be able to watch it on Saturday via 'red button' or BBC3 maybe? I think they usually do that for Glastonbury so you can watch all of it... well I hope so!

I think they will, there was an announcement saying they would show the headline sets live. I guess they just didn't give all the details yet on the listings. BBC2 now shows this on Radio Times, so plenty of time to show them...

Glastonbury Revellers Urged 'Don't Take Loo Roll' - Pick up Free Roll at Festival

 

GLASTONBURY, England, June 15, 2011 /PRNewswire/ --

 

REVELLERS getting ready to pack their rucksacks for Glastonbury are being urged NOT to take their own LOO ROLL - as they will be handed out free at the festival. Although toilet rolls are on hand at the 700 portable loos at the legendary festival, many of the 190,000 music fans turn up with at least one roll - just in case their cubicle doesn't have any paper left.

 

But this year, in a bid to increase the festival's eco-credentials, organisers Michael Eavis has teamed-up with toilet tissue makers Nouvelle to provide revellers with free rolls. As part of the plans for the 'Greenest Glastonbury ever' - the festival is aiming to recycle at least 60 per cent of the waste it produces, compared to last year's 49 per cent.

 

As well as the free loo rolls - which are made with 100 per cent recycled papers - the festival is rewarding people who arrive on bikes by giving them a special camping area and discount vouchers at the food stalls. A solar powered cow shed with 1,000 panels will provide enough electricity to meet the demand of 40 households - and will help power the huge stage sets of Beyonce, U2 and Coldplay.

 

A massive recycling barn will also allow revellers to recycle dump all of their recyclable materials - including bottles, cans and packaging - and an army of 80 volunteers will separate it to be recycled. Nouvelle is providing more than 100,000 loo rolls and has promised that there will be 'enough for everyone' - meaning festival-goers don't have to turn up with extra rolls stashed in their rucksacks.

 

Michael Eavis said today (Tue): "We're encouraging people to be as green as possible at this year's festival. We have put many new measures in to help us achieve this, not least by inviting Nouvelle on board as recycling partner to the festival, to give away free Nouvelle Soft recycled loo roll to festival goers. Nouvelle is providing one hundred thousand free loo rolls and our message is very simple - there will be more than enough for everyone, and more importantly, it will be the right kind of loo roll."

 

Glastonbury regular Dave Jarman, 36, said: "For the past 10 years I've always taken at least two loo rolls with me just in case, but this year I can leave them at home and maybe pack another few pairs of socks instead of loo roll."

 

The festival takes place over four nights from June 23 until June 26 - so runs in tandem with Recycle Week 2011.

That would be the highlights, the set would probably be live on BBC HD & (bbc 2), there is no newsnight so they don't have to switch to bbc 4 mid-way though.

From The Metro:

 

Try as I might, Eavis won’t spill the beans on whether Jay-Z will make a guest appearance alongside his wife or whether Gwyneth Paltrow will join Chris Martin on stage when Coldplay perform. He does, however, confirm that Beyoncé will spend the whole weekend on site at the festival while some of the crew speculate that recently reformed Britpop favourites Pulp might make a surprise appearance.

Beyonce is there for the whole weekend, she's gonna end up coming on to sing and fist pump to ETIAW or something, I can just see it :uhoh:

 

"It was a waaaaaaaaa-AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-ooooooooooooooooooooooh-AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-aaaaaaaaaaaa-teeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeer-oooooooooooooooh-OOOOOOOOH-AAAAAAAAAAAAA-faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-all"
