Strummerville will be kicking off this year’s festival tour at their natural home, Glastonbury festival. They will be lighting the campfire (the biggest campfire at Glastonbury) Thursday night and keep it burning till Monday morning.

Situated in the unfair ground field in the exact same spot where Joe Strummer used to have his fire, the Strummerville campfire sessions will start at midnight every night and will run until 3am. Confirmed acoustic performances from bands include a mixture of Strummerville supported bands and bands who are fans of Joe Strummer himself, such as: The Drums, I Blame Coco, Beans on Toast, Handshake, Sound of Rum, Ali Love, Lissie, Fionn Regan, Frank Turner, Depot, Nat Jenkins and many, many more (some who can’t be announced!).

Yeah I would as well, especially as when I tried to find it last year during the day it seemed to be fenced off.

Any idea on what day each band will be on? Particularly The Drums?

I love strummerville. Hopefully this year it wont have Arcadia's music in the background all the time. Not that it completely ruined it you understand. I've spent many an hour on one of the couches warming my toes there.

It ruined it for me - I felt Arcadia was just too overpowering last year.

Nice to see Joe on BBC4 I was just getting a pint at the Mandala Bar when he sang that song and everyone was singing in the bar - good memories
