For front row seats at the Glastonbury Festival without getting your wellington boots out, the 大象传媒 has an immense line-up, sending more staff to the event than have been sent to cover the World Cup. A team of 17 presenters will host the weekend鈥檚 broadcast of over 250 hours of Radio, TV, Red Button and online streaming from six key music stages.

There is a free sampler of chapter 10 and if you like what you see you can upgrade to the full version through an in-app purchase.
