Is it your first Glastonbury this year?

Thu, 23 May 2013 09:36:00 +0100

Are you going to Glastonbury for the first time? Is it to celebrate the end of exams, or something you’ve always wanted to do … or are you trying it out with some trepidation?

In the run up to this year’s festival Guardian Music is publishing a video series documenting people’s preparations for the festival. Musicians, circus acts, builders, bin men… and we’d like to talk to you!

We’re looking for someone who’s attending Glastonbury for the first time to talk about what they’re looking forward to the most, their preparations, what they’re planning to take.

Are you going to be camped out in front of the Pyramid stage for the whole weekend? Or are you intent on exploring the wild and wooly fringes of the festival site? Who and what is on your ‘must see’ list?

Let us know why you’d like to star in our video series in 200 words or less - and drop it in an email to adam.boult@guardian.co.uk
