    Glastonbury

    26 to 30 June Worthy Farm, Pilton Stormzy, the Killers, the Cure, , , Lizzo. But everybody knows Glastonbury isn’t about the music. It’s about trying to find the naked sauna field and/or huffing laughing gas with a bloke you’re convinced is Banksy at 3am in the stone circle. A mud-baked Mecca and church of the sesh, is God.
