Glastonbury 2010 is a sell out

Tickets for the Glastonbury Festival 2010 have completely sold out in less than 24 hours. It’s in stark contrast to last year when tickets took weeks sell and the in 2007, tickets were still available right up until the start of the festival. Despite the event being 9 months away music fans were keen to get their hands on their tickets for the 2010 event which marks the festival’s 40th anniversary.

Only those individuals who were pre-registered members were allowed to purchase tickets. The move was introduced a few years ago in order to cut down on counterfeit tickets. After the phone lines opened at 9am yesterday morning the switchboard was inundated with calls. Last year 137,000 fans descended upon Worth Farm in Somerset to catch some of the biggest live acts including Lily Allen, Lady Ga Ga, Dizzee Rascal and Tom Jones.

Tickets prices are up £10 on last year with a pass to the Festival which will run from June 23rd to 27th setting you back £185 plus a £5 booking fee. Rumours are already circulating as to the 2010 line-up and Festival organiser, Michael Eavis, is adding to the hype by announcing: “The expectations are really high. We’re trying to get the best headliners in the world.” There have been whispers that Beyonce, U2, Radiohead and the Rolling Stones could be making an appearance on the Pyramid stage to help celebrate the Festival’s 40th Anniversary. Eavis has also hinted that he’d like to have an act from each year of the Festival’s history.

If you didn’t manage to get your hands on a ticket yesterday you could still get lucky; a small number of tickets will be released “in the coming weeks” mainly cancelled tickets and those where the transaction failed. Again only pre-registered members can apply for these tickets so check out the official website for more details.

Tom Jones moves back to the U.K

There’ll be an almighty welcome in the hillside awaiting Welsh Favourite Tom Jones as he announced today he is to return back to the U.K after spending the last 35 years in L.A. Jones originally made the move to the U.S when his singing career took off spectacularly in the early 1970’s and set up home in a luxury mansion in Bel-Air, the former home of Dean Martin.

The news follows the announcement by Tom’s ex-neighbour and friend, Robbie Williams, who revealed he is also returning to live in Britain permanently. Although Robbie’s move probably has little bearing on the Welsh crooner’s decisions as he explained the idea has been on his mind for some time. “My wife Linda’s been getting homesick lately and we have been talking it over for a while.”  He went on to say “Britain has always been home. I love coming here and miss it more and more when I go back to LA. It’s the people and humour you can’t get anywhere else.” It’s believed Tom and his family will move to London to begin with, but have long term plans for a move to the country.

The timing of the move couldn’t be better as Tom recently announced a full U.K and European tour scheduled for later this year. The Welsh legend has chosen his homeland of Wales as the starting point for the U.K leg of the mammoth tour which begins on October 9th at Cardiff International Arena. If the success of Tom’s blistering set at Glastonbury this year is anything to go by, the fans are in for a scintillating show.

Tom will be belting out a mixture of the classics which helped make his name such as Delilah and It’s not unusual as well as hits from his new album released last year, 24 Hours.

The appeal of Tom Jones seems to transcend age with fans old and young flocking to see the 69 year old singer. Jones even revealed in an interview on The One Show this week that U.S band The Killers have invited him into the studio to record with them; the fact that even the coolest of bands wish to be associated with the Welsh warbler is testament to his during popularity and unmistakable talent.

Tickets for the Cardiff gig were in such high demand that not one, but two extra dates had to be added. The next few months will be a real endurance test for Jones as he’s also booked to play 13 dates at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas during the summer as well as a raft of U.S and European dates.
