the latest from Glastonbury Festival, day 2!

The latest from the eFestivals' Glastonbury Festival blog over five days at Pilton.

Conditions were near perfect in front of the mainng Pyramid stage for the eFestivals World Cup football match which raised over £8000 for WaterAid. With the crowds entertained by Hobo Jones and the Junkyard Dogs and an Endorse It In Dorset supergroup before watching a closely fought game where England took the honours winning 6-4. The game was even watched by Prince Charles from the stage. Unfortunately post match entertainers Supernova had to cut their set short as the Festival chose that moment to test the speaker array.

Following the match the warm evening meant many were able to enjoy music in the small stages and with most people now on site the new late night areas tantalised with their incredible designs. A sizeable crowd gathered in the sacred space to watch the sunrise under a full moon.

Today sees Rolf Harris open the main stage in the sunshine, with Gorillaz closing the main stage with a host of special guests. Talking of which Worthy fm are hinting this morning that special guests playing sets on site are Lou Reed, and Biffy Clyro as well as Kylie appearing with the Scissor Sisters. Festival goers will have to wait and see if they're right.

We'll be back next week with loads of reviews and pictures of the festival online for you to enjoy.
