BBC Radio 1 brings you a top line-up of DJs from the party in Pilton and will be delivering all the best backstage goss, special guests and exclusive performances from the UK’s biggest and best summer festival.

Jo Whiley, Colin Murray, Edith Bowman, Vernon Kay and Seb Fontaine will be keeping on top of the action, while the network’s Fergie and Fabio & Grooverider will get revellers rocking when they man the Radio 1 Sound System on Friday.

Throughout the weekend, digital station BBC 6 Music is camping out in the New Bands Tent, turning the spotlight on the potential future headliners tipped for the top. 6 Music DJs also bring listeners a flavour of the rest of the Festival, with tracks recorded from the Main Stage and Marc Riley chatting to the jugglers, campers, organisers and veggie-burger supremos who congregate at the festival each year.

Perrier Award-winning comedian Jenny Eclair will return to the Comedy Tent for the first time in 15 years and will share the whole experience in ‘4 In The Field’ (broadcast Wednesday-Thursday) for BBC Radio 4. Recorded entirely on location at Glastonbury 2004, the shows – "part cabaret, part reportage and part mud" – also feature excerpts from other comedians playing at the Festival.
