Festival goers will be able to tweet, update statuses and send emails about their Glastonbury experience with ease this year, via the unusual medium of a converted tractor, guardian.co.uk reports.
With the likes of The Rolling Stones, Arctic Monkeys and Mumford & Sons headlining, it’s inevitable that revellers will want to share information from the festival with those unable to attend. Luckily, this shouldn’t be a problem after organiser Michael Eavis allowed one of his tractors to be transformed into a mobile 4G Wi-Fi hotspot.
The New Holland vehicle, which is eco-friendly, has been fitted with equipment by network provider EE and should offer access to anyone that is within ten metres. While the site at Worthy Farm is quite large, EE will tweet its whereabouts throughout the music event.
Speaking to dailymail.co.uk about the unusual hotspot, EE brand director Spencer McHugh said: “We couldn’t be more excited about this year’s Glastonbury where we will be installing the first ever superfast 4G network at a UK festival to help those on-site stay connected.
“We hope festival goers enjoy logging on to the EE-pimped eco-tractor if they see it over the weekend.”
According to the newspaper, Glastonbury could be in for a cloudy, but dry weekend for a change – practically perfect conditions.
