a lot of wrong info in there.

the bit about the left field site being taken over by trash city/shangri la is news though.

edit: but that's wrong too, they've just copied the same lazy mistake from the nme.

i just left a comment:

Ever heard of checking your facts before you publish them?

"book forty bands... one act for each of the forty years the event has been running."

Its been 40 years since the 1st festival (or it will be next year as that's the festival they're talking about), it has not happened every year so it would be hard to book bands that played in the years it didn't happen, but then you mention that it hasn't run every year later in the article. ever heard of mathematics either?

"to play the Pyramid Stage this weekend"

The festival takes place in june, and emily eavis was talking about next year's festival.

"Founded in 1969"

1970 was the first festival.

"Eavis also claimed that the Leftfield stage would not feature at this summer's event, as that entire plot of land has been taken over by Trash City and Shangri La."

She said that the Left Field would not feature, she also said that Trash City and Shangri La would expand. These are two different things, the space left by the Left Field tent is in a totally different part of the site for one thing.

I understand that your writer may not be familiar with the festival, but there's really no excuse for sloppy journalism.
