Glastonbury Want Cooks and Kitchen Helpers!

Official organisers are looking for kitchen and cooking staff for this years Glastonbury festival.

Taken from the official website:

"They will either be employed from the beginning June until mid July; or from 17th June – 2nd July. Shifts will be about 8 hours a day, with some early and some late shifts.

All chefs, cooks and helpers will be paid. They will also get a staff pass to the Festival and some time off during the Festival itself. But they will have to work during event days. This is hard work, rather then just an easy way into the Festival.

Staff will have to bring their own camping equipment, but food, showers and washing machines are provided.

If you are interested please send a CV detailing relevant experience and any food hygiene or other qualifications to worthy@glastonburyfestivals.co.uk - stipulating whether you are looking to be employed for two weeks or seven weeks."

Emily has crushed these annoying little rumours thought, and tweeted the following message:

"@emilyeavis when is the resale announcement goin to be made?"

"@twitteruser A week before they go on sale, so there's plenty of time and no sudden announcement and rush"

Muse To Be Joined By Orchestra At Glastonbury?

The following article is a bit of a mash up of some of the news we have already posted. However it still offers some interesting information regarding Glastonbury festival 2010.

Muse have hinted to the BBC, that they may be joined by an orchestra at Glastonbury 2010. We had previously reported that they might have been collaborating with Bono but this now looks unlikely, due to U2s busy tour of America.

In the same show, Emily Eavis also confirmed that the Line-up will be wrapped up in the next month, and that the surprise act that we also posted about is something from the pop field.

She also mentioned that there will be larger acts playing on smaller stages this year as anticipated, adding that the line-up will have a lot of variety.

To listen to all this news follow the link to the audio below.

48 Hour Grace Period For Ticket Balance Payments

Glastonbury organisers have allowed a 48 hour grace period for those who have paid their deposit, but not yet paid their ticket balance.

Taken from the official website:

"If you haven't yet paid your balance, then you now have until 11.59pm on Tuesday (2nd March) to head to www.seetickets.com/g2010/ and pay the remainder."

The post also made a little comment about when tickets will go back on sale again, but (as ever) its as vague as hell. 

"We will be announcing details of the resale of cancelled tickets soon. Please keep an eye here on the website for the latest news on that."

As Emily said that the line-up will be confirmed in the next couple of weeks, we expect that it wont be long until tickets are availible again; probably in the first half of this month. It seems as good a time as any don't you think?
