00:05Bright and early. The gates are about to open.

00:07The party's about to start.

00:08Let's go meet the people at the front of the queue.

00:12How do you feel to be at the very front of the queue for Glastonbury 2025?

00:15Place to be. Got to be at the front. Got to get that prime spot.

00:18I'm really happy.

00:19Feeling all right. A bit tired, but all right.

00:21So you didn't have to sleep outside, anything like that?

00:23No. I'd sleep on a coach, though.

00:24I didn't sleep on the coach.

00:26We actually managed to get quite nice at the hotel.

00:29Outside, on the grass.

00:30Slept on a deflated air bed for about two hours.

00:34How long have you been queuing?

00:35Yesterday, I'm from 12 o'clock.

00:37What, lunchtime?

00:38Yeah.

00:57So many people.

00:58Too many clashes, though.

01:10Heard any secret set rumours? Who do you want it to be?

01:12Blur, potentially.

01:13And then I've seen someone saying Chapel Road.

01:15There's a lot floating around, isn't there?

01:17Pulp.

01:18Heim, hopefully.

01:19We really want to see Heim.

01:20Heim playing.

01:21I quite like their new album.

01:22Like, maybe Olivia Dean.
