Loyd Grossman's Band The New Forbidden Confirmed For Glastonbury

On the Friday morning of Glastonbury 2005, the festival was hit by a downpour of almost biblical proportions. Several stages were hit by lightning causing a delay to the start of proceedings, while flash flooding in areas submerged hundreds of revellers' possessions. The site was quickly transformed into an unprecedented mud bath. Sunday night headliner Kylie Minogue was forced to drop out after being diagnosed with breast cancer, paving the way for Basement Jaxx. Coldplay and The White Stripes also headlined. The New Band Tent was renamed The John Peel Stage in honour of the influential disc-jockey who died the previous October.
