Just a reminder to all (and esp KM) that tix must be paid for in full before 28th Feb.  If the balance is not paid then the ticket will be cancelled and £40 returned to the bank account from which the original payment was taken (£10 admin charge retained).

Balance is made up of £130 per ticket, booking fee £5.00 per ticket, registered post £4.95 per order.  Car parking is £15 this year and camper vans £75.

Tix are non refundable after 7th May and you can purchase 'Cancellation Protection' for £4.25 per person.

The link should take you to the 1st page in the process and you'll need your registration number and the postcode used at the time of booking.  See you there!

Glastonbury Festival organisers have begun a bid for a new licence.

The application to Mendip District Council asks for the car park to be opened on Tuesday rather than Wednesday morning and for more space for camping.

If granted, the event's future would be secured up to 2016. Organisers would surrender the current licence and work under the new licence's obligations.

The consultation deadline for interested parties is 20 January and a final decision is due in February.

The 2010 Glastonbury Festival takes place from 23 to 27 June, with U2 set to headline.

The Rolling Stones have declared that they will not be playing at the Glastonbury festival this year, following rumours that they were set for a headline slot.

The band addressed the issue directly, saying that the festival rumours were false and that they would not be touring at all in 2010.

"Following recent UK media speculation, The Rolling Stones would like to make it clear there are no plans at the moment for the band to tour in 2010," a spokesperson for the band told NME.COM.

Meanwhile, the band are set to release a reissue of their 1972 classic 'Exile On Main Street' in May featuring a host of unreleased songs including 'Plunder My Soul', 'Following The River' and 'Sophia Loren'.

U2 have been announced as one headliner for Glastonbury and a second unnamed act has also been confirmed for the Pyramid Stage top spot, while organiser Emily Eavis has said that Dizzee Rascal will probably be appearing at the festival too.
