A DRUM and bass DJ who goes by the name Bob the Blender was among those already set up in a camping spot overlooking the Pyramid Stage at Glastonbury by 9am this morning (June 26).

The 22-year-old from Weston-super-Mare, told the PA news agency he arrived on Tuesday as he knows the dairy farmers at Worthy Farm and had not slept after playing a set at the festival’s stone circle that night.

“I went over, asked for a set, and had one of the best times of my life… and that’s the greatness festivals can bring,” he said.

“Life is so hard at the moment, and sometimes you’ve just got to let loose and not worry. I’ve come close to death and this is what makes me feel alive – I don’t care about money, the future.

“It’s almost religious coming to a place to dance with everyone.”

The DJ’s setup overlooking the festival’s famous main stage included sofas, armchairs, and a grandfather clock he claimed had been “in the family for 200 years”.
