If you managed to get your hands
on a golden Glastonbury ticket, then the chances are you’ll be pretty excited for
what the weekend has in store. And even if you didn’t, there’s no need to delete
all social accounts and go into full-on hermit mode. Why not throw your own
Glastonbudget party at home?
Whether you’re watching the action
from the Pyramid Stage or your home television set, get Glasto ready with Nica.
Ones to Watch: Swedish Sweethearts
Little Dragon
You’ve probably heard Little
Dragon before. Helmed by Yukimi Nagano, this Swedish four piece make infectious
electronic music that you can really dance to. Their fierce new album Nabuma Rubberband came out last month
and it’s a fusion of soaring vocals and light-synths which just gets better
with each listen.
Catch Little Dragon playing live at
the John Peel stage on Saturday night.
Standout track:
Wildfire (feat. SBTRKT)
Lykke Li
Lykke Li writes songs about
heartbreak, love and lust but manages to do it in the most intoxicating way
possible. From the hauntingly melancholic breakup album I Never Learn to seductive tracks like Little Bit and Love out of
Lust, her music is addictive gold dust. You’ll be hooked in no time.
Catch Lykke Li headlining the John
Peel stage on Friday night.
Stand out track: No
Rest for the Wicked
What to Take to Glastonbury

Since Glastonbury Festival began
in 1970, there have only been 3 years where it hasn’t rained at all. With that
in mind, we’re packing wisely. Transparent rain macs work wonders at keeping
you dry while still showing off a vibrant two piece or shorts and crop top
combo.
Wear a bum bag in the day for
hands-free convenience- you’ll be able to weave through the crowds and whip out
your camera at any given moment. Come sundown swap the bum bag for a more
substantial backpack.
This way you won’t have to wrap your coat around your waist and if you want to
top up your make-up, you can just reach inside your bag instead of trekking back
to the campsite!
Hipflasks are a total saviour at
festivals- they save you money and allow you to spend precious time enjoying the
bands instead of queuing (learn
how to make your own here!). And last but not least, wellies and a good
quality, waterproof tent are absolute must-haves in the event of a monsoon.
