Glastonbury Festival bosses Michael and Emily Eavis have launched a new campaign to help the needy get access to safe, clean water. 

WaterAid, in assocation with Glastonbury and eFestivals, have kicked off the new Change The Record campaign - which aims to provide safe water and toilets to all people all around the world by the year 2030. 

Glasto have revealed that they'll have an army of 200 volunteers on site at the festival, urging attendees to sign the Change the Record petition befire it is handed to world leaders in September at the UN General Assembly meeting in New York.

"I'm supporting WaterAid's Change the Record campaign at Glastonbury this year, calling on festival-goers to sign the petition and take their vision of clean water for everyone, everywhere by 2030 straight to world leaders," said Emily Eavis.

Michael Eavis added: "Glastonbury Festival is a time when people find themselves a step closer to the issues facing all the millions of people without access to safe water and toilets. This year is WaterAid's 20th anniversary at the Festival and we're supporting their Change the Record campaign.

"Music can have such a positive impact around the world, so sign up to WaterAid's petition and Change the record this summer."

If you aren't attending Glastonbury, you can still sign the petition here. If you are, we'll see you there. 

This year's Glastonbury festival will be headlined by Kasabian, Arcade Fire, and Metallica, and takes place 25 - 29 June on Worthy Farm in Somerset. Other confirmed acts include The Black Keys, Jack White, Lana Del Rey, Manic Street Preachers, Interpol, Jake Bugg, Disclosure, London Grammar, Chvrches, The 1975, Pixies and many more.
