Glastonbury 2010 line up rumours and tickets

Humungus bands, wrestling with uncooperative tents, night-time Mexican shout-waves from tent to tent, being completely lost, weird art, the ability to say “oh, yeah, I saw them in Glastonbury back in 2010”, mad circus folk, porta-loos that defy description, silly hats, midnight antics, the which-band-to-see dilemma, dancing by firelight, strange and wonderful people, smugly swigging from your own stash of booze, discovering new bands, avoiding arrest, more music and, very possibly, mud.
