There's one less unknown special guest on this month's Glastonbury Festival line-up, with the news (as eFestivals has had rumoured for a while) that <a href="/festivals/bands.php?BandID=738"><b>Travis</b></a> are special guests of Croissant Neuf in the Green Fields, to help the solar powered sustainable eco-tainment venue celebrate 30 years of being at the Festival.

Situated just over the railway line on the left if heading for the stone circle at the top of the site the pop-up village green of the Festival. The field offers all things sustainable, offering hand crafted wooden seating, sustainable solid oak fencing, and is decorated with hand crafted mushrooms, funky wood structures and a giant redwood table with matching thrones. It's here that experts are on hand from the Solar Energy Alliance and leading pioneers Wind & Sun Ltd, alongside Bristol based Ecomotive, and more all offering advice, discussions and solutions for your self-build project or how to go about starting a Sustainable housing development.

Organisers announced, "This year Croissant Neuf in the Green Fields marks 30 years at Glastonbury – and they’ve bagged a very special guest performer to celebrate! We’re very pleased to announce that Travis will play in the field’s solar-powered tent on Saturday 25th at 4pm."
