Plans for Glastonbury 2013 on the BBC have today been confirmed, viewers of Glastonbury 2013 will be able to click the red button and choose a major stage at the festival which is being streamed live from the event.
They are also going to provide the 'Slickest and most compressive mobile coverage' so viewers are able to not only watch Glastonbury 2013 on the BBC but also on their mobile, or tablet; and numbers watching on those devices could reach as much as '50 per cent - beating the record of 37 per cent who watched last year's Radio 1 Hackney Weekend'

'Playing again with The Rats and doing those great songs again will be exciting afresh. We were an amazing band and I just feel it's the right time to re-Rat, to go back to Boomtown for a visit. Also, I’ve always fancied playing the Isle of Wight Festival ever since I hitched there in the good/bad days when I was a kid. I saw The Who, Doors (I think) Hendrix and Leonard Cohen, who incidentally blew Hendrix off the stage, and Kris Kristofferson, who was also amazing - God, so many cool bands.'

STUFF IN RED IS UPDATE

Rokia Traore a Malian singer is due to open the pyramid stage on one of the days, in an act of solidarity with musicians from Mali, where Islamists in the north have banned music, and artist from Mali will open the pyramid stage on each day.
So far Rokia Traore is the only act confirmed for the 2013 festival, but there are lots of acts rumoured for 2013. The rumoured acts are: Artic Monkeys, Aphex Twin, Atoms For Peace, Beltane Border Morris, Blackberry Wood, Boys, Chase & Status, DJ Greg Wilson, Dry The River, Eclectic Ballroom, Editors, Example........
Also rumoured are Guns Of Navarone (From Bournemouth), Jagwar Ma, Jake Bugg, Jay-Z & Kayne West, John Grant, John Otway, Kaiser Chiefs, Kings Of Leon, Leftfield, Lianne La Havas, M. Ward, Magnetic Man, Mal Webb, Manners, Mumford & Sons, Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds, Plan B, Professor Green, Radiohead, Rhbarb Theatre, Rodriguez, Rufus Wainwright, The Loose Moose String Band.......
And that's still not it....... The Rolling Stones, The Vaccines, The xx, These Reigning Days, Two Door Cinema Club and last but not least Zulu Winter.
Fleetwood Mac has been ruled out as a rumour for Glastonbury 2013 due to, new tour dates making it near impossible. This is because Fleetwood Mac is playing Spokane (USA) on the Saturday, and Portland (USA) on the Sunday; therefore the tour dates rule out Saturday and Sunday, and Friday is near impossible.
Tickets for Glastonbury 2013 are SOLD OUT! But in April there is going to be a resale of any tickets that failed to go through, got cancelled etc.
