Glastonbury festival: Get booze. Wear suit. Play

Glastonbury teaches you very basic human survival methods. You can also get so much from it by just walking around - you can learn about climate change, you can learn from the Healing Fields. It's an outward-looking festival. Corporate-sponsored festivals have great music, but they don't try to make people see the world in a positive light. I know that's a bit hippy-dippy, but it's true.

Everyone's taking the piss out of me because I decided to wear a suit, but if I wear this everyday then it probably won't look quite so fresh and I'll fit in more. We went alcohol shopping last night and got some basic, cheap cider, and then allowed ourselves one luxury item of alcohol. But then it turned into 14 bottles of expensive spirits, which is a bit dangerous between five of us for two days.

I'm going to try to stay away from seeing James Morrison, but I really want to catch Shirley Bassey. I think it will have that kitsch, once-in-a-lifetime feel about it.
