Fatboy Slim confirms himself for Glastonbury Festival 2011

playing in Shangri La

Hello vic, sorry I didn't get this until I got back from Glasto. I didn't get there until Friday coz I flew straight from the world cup in South Africa. I hope you caught me in the dance tent on Friday night coz my 'guerilla' gig didn't happen on Saturday. It was supposed to be a sound system by the bandstand but the security got wind (as did too many people) and they closed us down because of crowd safety. It's a shame, next year I'll go back up to Shangri La and play one of the more recognised systems like Arcadia. I hope you enjoyed the sunshine. What a classic Glasto that was!"

Registration is open for those wanting a ticket for Glastonbury Festival which runs for five full days from Wednesday 22nd until Sunday 26th June across 1,000 acres of beautiful countryside at Worthy Farm, Somerset.

Each ticket sold will feature a photograph of the person in whose name it is registered and will be non-transferable. So if you plan to buy tickets for friends or family you must make sure they all register!

Registration does not reserve or guarantee you a ticket when they go on sale some time in October, exact date to be confirmed, but if you don't register you will not be able to buy a weekend ticket for Glastonbury Festival 2011. If you opt to save this information you will be able to use your registration number again in future years. Make sure the e-mail address you provide is one to which you will have long term access.

Those who registered in 2008 need to re-register as the details were only kept for two years. Those who registered in 2009 or 2010 were offered the chance to save their details - if you did so, your existing registration number is still valid. If you did not opt to have your details saved, then you will need to register again this year.

There is no limit to the total number of people who will be allowed to register. Registering more than once will not increase your likelihood of getting a ticket. Every registration will have an equal chance of buying tickets irrespective of how or when it was made during the registration period. Registration can be made on behalf of other people as long as all their contact details and photos can be provided. If you live outside the UK you still need to register online.

If you have not received a confirmation email within a day of having made an online application, please check your spam folder. If your registration is rejected you can re-apply.

Ticket purchasing will require each buyer to input their name and their unique valid registration number for each ticket they purchase.
