As Paul McCartney once (confusingly) said "hello Glastonburgens". That's right, team guardian/music have touched down on Pilton soil and are busy converting what looks like a gigantic aluminium skip into one of the most envied and respected media hubs on the planet (translation: we have two knackered laptops, some biros and a packet of Pringles, if we can find them). Since putting up our tents we've already heard talk of a top-secret Franz Ferdinand gig (but when? but where?), rumours of Jay Z's guest stars and heard that this might be the LAST EVER FESTIVAL (but then, we do hear that one every year).
You can follow all the action here as the Guardian/Music blog prepares to work overtime, spewing out the latest rumours, reviews, Q&As, picture galleries and video interviews, not to mention our daily (yes, daily!) onsite podcast. You can also check in on theguardian.com/glastonbury to keep up to date with the biggest stories of the weekend and the latest reviews. Feel free to stalk us on Twitter as well.
That's all for now. Oh, and if you want to know why all the text starts appearing back to front and the blog has turned bright purple - that'll be because we've drank too much psychedelic cider and bought one of the "green truffles" from Merlin The Mad Goblin in the healing fields. Right, onwards to Avalon!
