Glasto in style! The £28,999 tipi for glamorous festival goers with helicopters (to avoid the pesky traffic), cutting edge wellness space and IV infusions
Glastonbury is not all cheap tents and knee high mud - luxury glampers can choose to attend the festival in style, staying in tipis that reportedly cost up to £28,999 to book.
The famous event opens today, and so too does the Pop-Up Hotel - described as 'Glastonbury insiders' go-to luxury glamping retreat'.
According to the luxe destination, it is designed to 'deliver the perfect balance of relaxing rejuvenation to all the festival excitement this summer'.
To do so, it offers guests an array of 'luxurious upgrades and carefully curated wellness experiences', which it says are 'designed to pamper guests like never before'.
According to the Pop-Up Hotel: 'Featuring suites with private bathrooms and all rooms with real beds and power outlets for charging phones, The Pop-Up Hotel makes 'roughing it' a thing of the past.'
It continues: 'Easy arrival and check-in with free parking, personal concierge and customer service teams, luggage and buggy service and 24-hour private security to guarantee guest privacy. All located in a field just a short walk away from all the action; a 10-minute flat walk away from Gate D [...] Cult will be bringing its signature bold aesthetic to The Pop-Up Hotel with two exclusive VIP seating areas.'
Before they even arrive at the festival, Pop-Up guests can avoid stress by using the Heli-Hop with Slick Travel service, where hotel guests can beat the worst of the traffic and 'fly into Glastonbury like rock royalty'.
Moving between the luxury venue and the rest of the festival will be easy for guests, thanks to electric vehicle company Moke, which will be 'providing its new fully electric MOKEs to The Pop-Up Hotel, offering stylish and sustainable transport for hotel guests between the helipad, the hotel, and the festival grounds'.
In order to look their best, guests can make an appointment at the Salon powered by Sephora, which will be 'providing festival-themed makeup services and hair treatments'.
In addition, self-serve beauty stations will also be on site featuring brands and products found exclusively at Sephora for Hotel guests to discover.
Those who need a boost can grab a cuppa from Lavazza, which will be brewing authentic Italian coffee and coffee-based cocktails as the Hotel's official coffee partner.
Lavazza will be operating a bar, restaurant, courtyard Kitchen & The Deli, described as an 'A La Carte restaurant, a new alfresco kitchen dining experience and a spacious all day Deli plus a 24hr bar to bring together the best of festival dining and nightlife'.
And those won't be the only tipples on offer. According to the Pop-Up: 'Australia's best-selling new gin, Papa Salt, is this year's official gin partner of The Pop-Up Hotel.
'Hotel guests can enjoy Papa Salt gin and the latest creation — the Fever-Tree x Papa Salt Blood Orange Gin Spritz — at The Pop-Up Hotel's bar as well as at the Papa Salt Pool Party scheduled for Festival Week.'
And on arrival at the hotel, every guest will be offered a glass of chilled Champagne Piaff 'to get the party started in style'.
In addition, NEFT Vodka will be available at The Pop-Up Hotel bar throughout Festival Week.
And The Pop-Up Hotel's bar will be serving BrewDog Punk IPA and Lost Lager.
Meanwhile the Journey Juice point at the Main Bar and the Deli will be serving Wonderland Cocktails made with BrewDog Distilling Company spirits.
If that isn't enough choice, Casamigos Tequila will be serving a selection of cocktails at The Pop-Up Hotel's bar including Margaritas. And Ron Santiago de Cuba will be serving its Cuban rum mixed and neat at the hotel.
Those who prefer a tee-total lifestyle have not been forgotten: Devonia Water will be on hand for hydration. And Vino Zero will be offering guests a range of alcohol-free cocktails.
A major issue when attending festivals for many is hygiene - with long queues for temporary showers, feeling fresh can fall by the wayside.
For glampers though, this should not be an issue: according to The Pop-Up Hotel, it will be providing a selection of sustainable 'in-room products and hand wash across all washrooms' from Wild.
The brand will also help guests loosen out any muscles tired from all that dancing, hosting a Pop-Up Pilates session exclusively for hotel guests.
And the self-care does not stop there: the salon pamper area offers 'complimentary tools and products, private cubicle hot showers 24 hours a day and proper flushing loos'.
According to the destination: 'The Wellness Space [is] a cutting-edge spa experience with contrast therapies; saunas and ice baths paired with breathwork, yoga and wellness experiences curated by The Pop-Up Hotel's Heads of Wellbeing: Experts Richie Norton and Rob & Josie da Bank
'Body Brilliant bespoke treatments from vitamin booster drops shots to bespoke IV infusions and compression therapy to revitalise festival weary bodies.'
Further relaxation will be provided in the form of massages: Homewood House Hotel Massage will be offering a 'range of facial and body treatments for Hotel guests combining advanced therapeutic techniques, nature's finest botanicals and science-led complexes along with signature touches, for truly magical experiences that relax the mind and reward the skin'.
In addition, guests can ensure they avoid sunburn using products provided by Korean skincare brand Beauty of Joseon, which is the hotel's Official Suncare Partner. If guests do get too hot, they can cool off in the swimming pool.
In addition to all the live acts on offer at the festival, the hotel will offer 'morning acoustic sessions to lively poolside parties and evening DJ sets [as well as] secret performances from guest musicians to keep guests buzzing'.
And should guests want to up their looks, they can peruse the offerings from the hotel's Official Eyewear Partner Dood Eyewear. 'Guests can try on this season's styles at the Dood space, located in reception and enjoy exclusive early access to four new limited-edition frames being released exclusively during Festival Week,' says the hotel.
In addition,it adds: 'Free People returns with their finely crafted style to The Pop-Up Hotel bringing a pop-up store full of festival favorites, as well as an exclusive event for hotel guests.
Even the hotel team will be kitted out in luxury style, donning footwear from Australian footwear brand R.M.Williams - specifically its new-look Gardener boots, which are festival-designed with a 'full storm welt, sturdy rubber sole and cushioned insoles'.

‘I respect them and I support their message': How Kneecap won over Glastonbury's masses
This was a day of political pantomime at Glastonbury, a day when the usual chilled out vibes were replaced by something altogether more febrile and excitable. The chants of 'Free Palestine' that have peppered the site over the last 48 hours came to a head during three sets on the West Holts stage: from British singer Nilüfer Yanya, London hip hop duo Bob Vylan and the folk devils du jour, Irish hip hop band Kneecap. Palestinian flags made up around half the banners at these gigs, and they pepper the entire festival too. In sweltering heat, Yanya's set closed with a backdrop that read 'More action, less noise, free Palestine' (the exhausted lunchtime crowd let out a feeble whoop), while Bob Vylan blasted execs in the music industry who supported Isreal. Vylan's set culminated in him leading the chant 'Kill the IDF', supported by a full-throated crowd, even if every audience member didn't partake. But the heat rose even further with Kneecap, whose pro-Palestinian stance and politicised, cartoony rap drew one of the biggest crowds the West Holts – Glastonbury's third biggest stage – has ever seen, and certainly at 4pm. This is my 22 nd time at this event and I can't recall more anticipation over a mid-afternoon act. Tens of thousands of people were crammed onto this tiny patch of Somerset grass, a crowd so big that organisers closed the field an hour before they came on. In the shadow of Glastonbury Tor, orange and green flares blazed as chants of 'Free Palestine' and 'Free Mo Chara' (the latter a reference to the band's rapper who is alleged to have displayed a flag in support of Hezbollah) echoed around the Vale of Avalon. It's unlikely that residents of the sweetly bucolic nearby village of Pilton have ever heard anything like it. 'I respect them and I support their message, and that's why I'm here,' says Sian, 27, who has seen the band before and says they're 'amazing'. 'They're controversial but they're trying to spread a message.' Ah yes. The message. Moral panic has swept the nation about this performance, with Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer saying it shouldn't happen. Behind the scenes, some big-name execs within the music industry have been lobbying Glastonbury to drop the band. But happen it did, with festival organiser Emily Eavis saying on Wednesday that all performers are 'welcome'. What's more, the whole thing was meant to be filmed by the BBC. 'The BBC's editor is going to have some f---ing job,' said Liam Óg Ó hAnnaidh, stage name Mó Chara, half way through the set. But that wasn't the case. The live feed was cut, despite the previous band – rock-rap duo Bob Vylan – having their set broadcast. At the time of writing it is not clear whether the BBC will show edited highlights of Kneecap or not. Here's a Kneecap recap. The West Belfast group are Republican hip hop musicians who rap largely in the Irish language and have never hidden their disdain for the British government (they're named after the grim punishment meted out by the IRA). In April, the rappers hit the headlines when they displayed a message at California's Coachella accusing Israel of 'committing genocide against the Palestinian people'. Film then emerged of the band urging people to kill their local MP (they apologised). And earlier this month, member Ó hAnnaidh (Mo Chara), appeared at Westminster Magistrates' Court in London, charged with a terror offence for allegedly displaying a flag in support of proscribed organisation Hezbollah at a London gig last year. The 27-year-old was bailed and will next appear in court on August 20 – in a previous statement, his band denied the offence. Chara received a hero's welcome at the Pyramid Stage. Chara's two bandmates – Naoise Ó Cairealláin, known as Móglaí Bap, and JJ Ó Dochartaigh, known as DJ Próvaí, a former teacher who also wears a balaclava in the colours of the Irish tricolour – bounded around in the broiling heat, crowd-surfing, encouraging a mosh pit and generally stoking the cauldron of chaos. The trio thanked the organising Eavis family for standing by them amid pressure to cancel the show. I lost count of the number of times chants of 'F--- Keir Starmer' and 'Free Palestine' rang out. The crowd was crushingly tight to be in. There was never a sense that things could tip into violence though. The concert was what I'd call an angry celebration. The band were preaching to the converted here. One 26-year-old audience member has snuck away from his friends to watch Kneecap today. 'A lot of them are Jewish, and I have to keep it quiet,' he says. But his motives aren't what you'd expect. His mum runs an Irish centre in Leeds and he picked up the Irish language through his grandfather. Despite their almost-cancellation in the outside world, Kneecap really connect with people. 'You're just a s--- Jeremy Corbyn,' went one chant about Starmer. Kneecap's politics can be something of a joke. Then there's this. The bare faces of the people wearing balaclavas in the audience suggested they weren't even born when the Good Friday Agreement was signed in 1998. To them, shorn of all context, this is dress-up. Cosplay. Riverdance for rebels. And once the concert was over, these same hoards dispersed to watch chart-friendly performers such as Raye, Charli XCX or the Scissor Sisters. Kneecap provided a 'moment' for sure. Fans were happy. Walking out, Vincent Poel, 28, said there was 'exactly the right amount' of politics in the trio's set. But, at the end of the day and after all the noise, this was just entertainment.

During Kneecap's set, band member Naoise O Caireallain, who performs under the name Moglai Bap, said: 'The Prime Minister of your country, not mine, said he didn't want us to play, so f*** Keir Starmer.' The band also led crowds in chants of: 'Free Palestine'.

EXCLUSIVE Tommy Fury shares hug with Molly-Mae Hague lookalike during wild night out as he parties until the early hours - following his reconciliation with the influencer
shared a hug with his brother Roman's girlfriend, who strikes a remarkable resemblance to his own partner Molly-Mae Hague, during a wild night out in Cheshire on Friday. The boxer, 26, was spotted on the rare outing without his former fiancée, also 26, who he met on Love Island in 2019 and split from last year, before reconciling. Tommy, who shares two-year-old daughter Bambi with the influencer, said the reason their romance ended was down to his excessive drinking. He showcased his buff physique in a tight black top and matching cargo trousers as he danced the night away with a large group of pals and partied into the early hours. First Tommy was seen at the Bubble Room in Alderley Edge before heading over to The Symposium night club where he is said to have ended his evening at 2am. He chatted intently his brother's partner before she wrapped her arms around his neck for a friendly embrace. The Symposium is owned by Hollyoaks star Ashley Taylor Dawson, 43, best known for his role as Darren Osborne in the Channel 4 soap. Customers can splash the cash on private booths that cost up to £1200 and come with bottles of pricey champagne. It was recently claimed that a feud is brewing between Molly and Tommy 's families over their decision to give their relationship another go. Earlier this month, a report from The Sun suggested that Molly-Mae's sister Zoe was concerned about them getting back together. In the latest episodes of Molly-Mae's Amazon Prime documentary Behind It All, Zoe expressed her doubts over Tommy openly. This in turn reportedly angered Tommy's family including his brother Tyson and his wife Paris. A source told the publication: 'The Fury family aren't impressed that Zoe has been so outspoken about Tommy. 'They're a fiercely loyal bunch and seeing Zoe's comments broadcast to millions of people via Amazon absolutely got their hackles up. 'To them Tommy is a stand up guy, a good, hard working father. His drinking issues shouldn't be used as a stick to beat him.' The insider added that Paris is confused as to why Zoe would try to hinder the family getting back together. Despite the claims, Tommy finally made his return to Molly-Mae's YouTube vlogs for the first time since the couple's shock split. After months of rumours that they had rekindled their romance, the couple finally confirmed they were back on by going Instagram official last month with a loved-up family snap with their daughter Bambi. But Molly-Mae has insisted the pair are taking it slow this time around, with the boxer still not moving back in to her Cheshire mansion, and not being shown on her vlogs - until now. Her latest video diary released last week, saw Tommy back on camera again, announcing: 'The wanderer has returned! Like nothing ever changed.' And the couple looked as loved-up as ever, as they cosied up together and burst into a fit of giggles, before Tommy even leaned in for a kiss and bid Molly goodbye with an 'I love you'. And Molly-Mae even reflected on it feeling 'a little bit full circle' as the pair caught a glimpse of the beginning of their love story, as they watched Love Island anniversary special. To mark 10 years of the show, ITV aired a one-off Love Island: Decade of Love last week, where they celebrated Molly-Mae and Tommy as one of their biggest success stories. The pair fell for each other in front of the nation during series five in 2019, before going on to welcome daughter Bambi and get engaged in 2023. But fans were shocked when they announced they'd split on Instagram in August, with Tommy later revealing Molly ended their romance over his excessive drinking. In a statement posted to her 8.5million Instagram followers, she confirmed the breakup, saying: 'I never imagined our story would end, especially not this way.' Tommy denied continued speculation about him cheating during a magazine interview, insisting any reports about him being with other women were 'complete and utter b*****ks.'
