Music Maps

Even though I only mentioned Glastonbury a month ago, I’m going to do it again because a) I’ve got a ticket and I’m dead excited and b) I’ve stumbled across GlastoEarth, which is a pretty nifty add on for Google Earth by Paul Holmes which puts my singular marker pointing at the Pyramid Stage to shame:

Whether you are new to the festival and want to get a feel for what you’ll find, or are an old hand wanting to seek out those hidden places you can never seem to find, this map will hopefully help. The current version is based on 2007, and includes both items from the official map distributed at the festival, and other highlights - notably a few of the best food stalls - recommended by other visitors.

Remember that the layout of the festival evolves every year, so what you see here might not all be in the same place (or there at all!) this year, however a 2008 version of this should be available shortly before this year’s festival.

So yes, download Google Earth and then GlastoEarth 1.2. Even if you’re not going and only watch it on telly (although registration for the festival has reopened and tickets are available once more - visit glastonburyfestivals.co.uk), it might just give you an idea of how huge the Worthy Farm site is.
