There’s little under ten hours to go until the gates open at Glastonbury. For the first time in over fifteen years the festival hasn’t sold out in advance. Michael Eavis claims it is due to the dreadful weather of the last couple of years, but most would put it down to a lacklustre headline and main stage lineup. As always though, the undercard is where most of the highlights are to be found. Here are my ten picks for the festival, with some tracks to whet your appetite…
1. Edwyn Collins, Friday – Park Stage (A Girl Like You)
2. Massive Attack, Saturday – Other Stage (False Flags)
3. Black Mountain, Sunday – Other Stage (Wucan)
4. Holy Fuck, Saturday – John Peel Stage (Milk Shake)
5. Elle S’Appelle, Thursday – Left Field (Little Flame)
6. Six. By Seven, Saturday – Glade (IOU Love)
7. Lykke Li, Saturday – Park Stage (Breaking It Up)
8. Martha Wainwright, Saturday – Pyramid Stage (So Many Friends)
9. Hercules & Love Affair, Friday – East Stage (Blind)
10. My Morning Jacket, Sunday – Park Stage (Look At You)

That 6×7 track is a bit of a rip off of the church ‘under the milky way’
