Set yer alarm clocks, kids: Tickets for this year’s Glastonbury festival go onsale at 8pm on Thursday 1st April (although it might be worth checking nearer the time if last year is anything to go by–when they quietly changed the date to the day before, had around 3 people answering the phone line and ran www.aloud.com on a ZX Spectrum).

It couldn’t be something to do with the fact that www.aloud.com is the website of an EMAP publication, and thus one of IPC-published NME’s major rivals. Surely not…
