Attitude is Everything, Continental Drifts and Glastonbury Festival will collaborate to bring the first Club Attitude Showcase at a major festival to this year's Glastonbury Festival.

Heavy Load
Attitude is Everything has had a presence at the Glastonbury Festival since 2005, advising on providing facilities for the deaf and disabled. This year they will present a Club Attitude showcase at The Dada Stage in the Shangri La Zone, demonstrating the positive impact of deaf and disabled attendees and artists on the UK festival scene.

The showcase which runs from 2pm until 6pm on Saturday 27th June will feature live performances from one of eFestivals' favourite punk covers band Heavy Load, Spaceships Are Cool, and Al Cool and the Stranger Wines. As well as DJ sets from DJ Chinaman, and Jamie Renton. The showcase will also feature some still to be announced very special guests.

The stage will also have an accessible toilet, viewing area & sign language interpretation by Kyra Pollitt and Robert Skinner.

The only other acts officially confirmed so far to play at the festival are Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band as Saturday night headliner, with Blur and Neil Young as the other headliners, plus Kasabian, Doves, White Lies, Echo and the Bunnymen, Fleet Foxes, Emiliana Torrini, Florence & The Machine, Lily Allen, The Ting Tings, and Franz Ferdinand.

This year's full Glastonbury line-up won't be announced until a month before the Festival. To see who has been confirmed, and who might be playing take a look at the eFestivals' Glastonbury 2009 rumours >>.

Glastonbury Festival is held for five full days from Wednesday 24th until Sunday 28th June 2009 at Worthy Farm, Pilton, Somerset.
