NME celebrates Glastonbury Festival with two special issues

LONDON - Music lovers who are busy packing their wellies and tents for Glastonbury 2005 are being given a helping hand to prepare for the festival with two special issues of NME, including the all-important weather prediction.

The first magazine, published by IPC Media, goes on sale today with a 16-page Glasto-Goer's Guide to the Universe and a weather prediction from 'Big Brother 6''s psychic, Mary.

NME will then publish a special issue on June 29 featuring highlights from the three-day event, including the best of this year's bands, along with an eight-page glossy poster special including an aerial photo of the Glastonbury site and news and gossip from the VIP area.

Conor McNicholas, editor of NME, said: "Glastonbury is one of the biggest weekends in the rock calendar and we'll be bringing our readers the very best coverage of the event. If you have a ticket, our review is the perfect souvenir. If you didn't get a ticket, it's the next best thing to being there."

This year's Glastonbury event, which starts on June 24, is being streamed on the BBC and broadcast on Radio 1 with a confirmed line-up including Coldplay, The Killers, Razorlight, Babyshambles and The White Stripes.
