The week is upon us. Bags are packed, tents are ready, and copious amounts of booze are being poured into giant plastic bottles as we speak – It’s Glastonbury time. As always, the five-day-long festival marks one of the biggest moments in the musical calendar as some of the biggest artists on earth descend upon a small parish in Somerset.

With over 3000 acts performing, everyone’s weekend will look different. There will be some festival goers who don’t see a single musical act, instead sticking to the vast array of art, theatre, film or family entertainment. With so much on offer, the experience can be totally crafted for each individual’s tastes, whether that be rock, indie, folk, jazz, pure pop or left-field global sounds. No two groups of attendees will ever have exactly the same weekend as the ultimate joy of Glastonbury is how expansive it is, with so many winding paths to wander down and explore.

But no matter which route is taken, the festival promises some incredible performance. It’s a chance to see some bucket list live music moments as artists take to the stage, playing their biggest hits and best-loved anthems to an eager audience. All there with arms in the air, drinks in hands and their friends beside them, there’s nothing like finally getting to hear your favourite song live.

Really, this playlist serves a dual purpose. It’s here for the public, sure. With such an insane amount of names on the lineup, it’s easy to miss one or forget that a certain act will be gracing the farm. It’s here to remind lucky revellers that, yes, they can hear The Streets do ‘Fit But You Know It’ this weekend or hear Soft Play roar through some of their late 2010 indie-punk hits like ‘The Hunter’ or their newest tracks like ‘Punk’s Dead’. In case ticket-goers forgot, icons like Squeeze, Ocean Colour Scene, John Cooper Clarke and Gossip will all be there too, playing songs their fans have always loved.

But on the other hand, it’s a selfish exercise. As the Far Out team preps to pack up and head to the festival, we’ve been busy plotting out a busy schedule of sets to see and getting excited with this playlist on repeat. We’ve been fighting over who gets to go see Kim Gordon play ‘Bye Bye’ and who will get to sing along to indie favourites like The Vaccines, Declan McKenna or Bloc Party.

We’ve also been looking forward to finally getting to catch some of the best new artists around. The small stages are always just as, if not more, exciting than the main ones, so checking out the likes of Chloe Slater, Enjoyable Listens, FIZZ, Lime Garden, and Blondshell is not a bad way to spend some time at the festival.
