The Glastonbury Festival of Contemporary Performing Arts is almost ready to begin. For those of you who don't know, Glastonbury is one of the largest outdoor venues in the world. It is known for the music but it also offers dance, comedy, theatre, circus, cabaret and more. It is held the final weekend of June at the Worthy Farm in Pilton, Somerset, UK. Tickets for this year's festival went on sale back in October, 2010 and sold out in 4 hours.
This year's festival have several music acts scheduled to appear, ranging from rock to electronica. Listed below are just some of what Glastonbury has to offer.

Headline Act: U2
Saturday:

The Streets
Cold War Kids
TV on the Radio
Queens of the Stone Age
Don McLean
Paul Simon
Headline Act: Beyonce
U2 was scheduled for the 2010 Festival, but due to Bono's back surgery, they had to back out.
Coldplay is on the verge of releasing a yet to be named album and I imagine they will be playing a few new songs on Saturday.
And Beyonce has a new single out as well.
I'm not sure if Youtube will have a stream up like they had with Coachella, but I would think that Vevo would have one going.
It looks like it should be a good line-up. And if there is streaming, be sure to get your fill now because there won't be a Glastonbury 2012 Festival!
