Lost Vagueness to be found in Lewes
Lost Vagueness, the eccentric and anarchic festival within a festival at Glastonbury, has gained a licence to stage its own 24-hour festival near Lewes in East Sussex.
Letters: The trouble with Glastonbury (Leader, June 28) is that it is a relic of the hippy era that begat it. Far from working for progress, being a hippy was simply a self-indulgent and middle-class form of escapism.
David Aaronovitch: Since the first thing that a newcomer to the Glastonbury festival site notices is the smell of poo, I was wondering what the Guardian editorial meant yesterday when it talked about the "embourgeoisement" of the event.
