Glastonbury puckers up to break world record

30,000 Glastonbury festival goers are expected to show a little love to the person next to them, and break a world record in the process.

The aim is to get as many couples as possible to kiss simultaneously to break the previous record of 6,400 set in Hungary just a few days ago.

“The Big Kiss”, as it's being called, will take place at 1.30am on Sunday 24th June in Lost Vagueness once Madness have concluded their Midnight set.

The record attempt will be directed by Madness frontman Suggs and by screens and hosts across Lost Vagueness. Roy Gurvitz, founder of Lost Vagueness is excited about the record attempt, "It is so perfect for Midsummer’s morning to share a little bit of happiness and love with the person next to you, all the while setting a record that will be recognised in the future. It’s going to be an amazing sight."
