Glastonbury has announced that off-site camping will be available at the 2013 festival, for the first time in 43 years.
The festival obtained an off-site camping facility in 2011, after a third party company collapsed and left 3,000 attendees without accommodation, but this will be the first time that Glastonbury will choose to provide it.
The site is named Worthy View, and offers pre-erected camping facilities, which will hold at least 4,000 festival-goers. The site is run by the festival team and is just a short walk from the festival itself.
Michael Eavis, the founder of Glastonbury, said, "It's really important to me that we offer people the best-value accommodation.
"We don't want festival-goers paying through the nose, so we've decided to offer some cracking off-site camping ourselves, very close to the main site.
"With tents for five nights available for only £100 per person, and even the hand-crafted yurts for £150 per person, there is no reason to pay more elsewhere."
Thom Yorke could be headlining Glastonbury with Radiohead
Thom Yorke recently hinted that Radiohead could be set to headline Glastonbury. He was on Zane Lowe's radio show on Monday night promoting his new project Atoms for Peace when he was asked if the band might be appearing at the Somerset festival.
The Radiohead frontman said that Atoms for Peace wouldn't be playing, but that "parts" of it would appear.
Yorke is just the latest star to hint at at a Glastonbury appearance, as the Rolling Stones and Fleetwood Mac have also been teasing fans about it.
