On site, sweltering

Glastonbury T-1
We're on site, where it's a sweltering evening and many camping areas are already full (Pennard Hill and the Green Fields). Word on the street is that wheelbarrows are The Thing this year, although a small breakaway clique suggests it's luggage trolleys.

News so far: 61,000 people are on site, 19 crimes reported and 34 arrests. Ryan Adams has cancelled his Sunday night spot at the John Peel tent due to an ear infection. Bright Eyes headlines instead, which is no loss - he's well worth catching. New features this year include the Midnight Carnival, programmed by women, and the Dance Village which contains the Silent Disco. Musically, what used to be in the Glade is now to be found at the G-Stage, our spies report that the Glade feels "much more ambient, with chill out music." On all of which, more anon.

But if you're coming down tomorrow, don't forget to text us your reviews to 07909 951571.
