It's customary to give some sort of weather report when updating the latest news from Glastonbury, so you lovely lot will no doubt be highly irritated to know that the sun, for now, is out. Don't worry though, light showers are predicted at peak Pyramid stage time. That would be around the time Jay-Z commits himself to the headlining slot that has caused a very boring degree of fuss over the last few months. Recent rumours suggest the rapper will be joined onstage by Chris Martin and Amy Winehouse for possibly the weirdest collaboration since David Bowie and Bing Crosby. While we're on the subject, there's also speculation from revellers (yes, revellers. Well it beats punters, surely?) that some band called Coldplay may be making an impromptu-ish visit to the Park stage. If they play their cards right, maybe next year they'll be big enough for the Pyramid stage.
While we're on the Park stage, there's suggestion that psychtropic duo MGMT are planning a synth-heavy cover of Led Zepellin's Immigrant Song during their set on the Park stage later. As for yesterday's news that the Last Shadow Puppets would be paying an unscheduled visit to the Park stage, today we hear they're to be followed by another unscheduled guest in the shape of Duffy. Which is nice.
Sadly, rumours that Dolly Parton was planning a surprise show have proved to be little more than wishful thinking. Or have they?*
*yes.
