If you thought Glastonbury was just for the indie kids with their anchor tattoos and peace loving hippies, think again. With pop up DJ sets by the likes of wiley, Iggy Azalea and Bastille, there'll be something for every music taste running late into the night. Glastonbury's much more than just a music festival. If you're planning on going, you'll find everything from political debates, to speeches by Green peace- and with a massive effort to make it as eco friendly as possible, Glastonbury has laid claim to being one of only a handful of ecologically active festivals in the world. Lucky enough to be off to Worthy Farm in Somerset for a weekend of music? Check out our festival survival guide, and make sure you're not missing a thing off it! Finally, you're going to need a few outfits to take with you. We know how awkward festivals can be to dress for, so we've put together a few Summery festival looks together for you (you can thank us later).
