Glastonbury Festival's own volunteer, on-site radio station, Worthy FM, is seeking volunteers to help out at this year's festival.

The station will be broadcasting live 24 hours a day from Monday 22nd June to midnight on Monday 29th June.

The station is looking for volunteers to join their 2015 crew to fill two roles - feature makers and night shift presenters.

There roles are explained as follows:

Feature makers
You should have a keen interest in the ethos of the Festival and the charities it supports. Worthy fm is looking for volunteers who are willing to collect audio and make features now ready for the broadcast. You will need your own audio recorder and be able to edit using Adobe Audition (or bring your own editing equipment). Audio will be played out in mp3 format. You will also need to be confident (or willing to learn) to go out into the crowd during the Festival and gather audio to make features. Creativity and originality is welcomed.

Night shift presenters between 03:00 – 07:00
These shows should reflect the Festival that never sleeps during these hours. You should ideally have experience of the Festival to understand what is going on. During the first days of broadcast before the Festival is open to the public you should have already gathered audio from the different areas to promote what will be going on. You will need to be able to collect audio and edit your material to play out in mp3 format.

Those considering applying should consider the following:

You will need to arrive on site on Sunday 21st June and stay until the broadcast ends or your last show. You need to make your own way to site (or mini bus from Bristol). Staff parking is available.
Audio you produce for Worthy fm before and during the Festival will be the property of Worthy fm and will not be used for any broadcast or any other purpose before or during the Festival.
To understand and abide by the Ofcom broadcasting code (2013)

Those interested have until 5pm this weekend, Saturday 21st February 2015 to submit an application.

This year's sold out Glastonbury Festival runs for five full days from Wednesday 24th until Sunday 28th June 2015 across over a 1,000 acres of beautiful countryside at Worthy Farm, Pilton in Somerset.

As ever, entry includes a free programme. Once again, the Festival will be raising more than £2 million in funds for Oxfam, Wateraid, Greenpeace and and hundreds of other worthy causes, both local and international.

The only act confirmed is Lionel Richie in the teatime legends slot. There are no other acts confirmed yet for 2015, the line-up will not be announced until spring. Expect something like 2,000 performances at over 100 venues including music, cabaret, theatre, circus, a fantastic Kidz area, poetry, green crafts and information, site art, decor, and loads, loads more ... much more than just the music, so make sure you check it all out!

As usual eFestivals will bring you the very best-sourced rumours, allowing festival-goers to see who is playing long before the bands are formally announced - keep your eyes on the Glastonbury 2015 rumours, updated as we receive information.
