Tickets are available from Tourist Information Centres in Glastonbury, Wells, Street and Shepton Mallet, as well as the Glastonbury Abbey shop and Worthy Farm. Glastonbury Festival may have had a break in 2006, but that doesn't mean that Michael Eavis is taking the year off completely - oh no. Michael obviously enjoys his three-day festivals at Glastonbury. He's got Jools Holland and his Rhythm and Blues Orchestra playing at the 2006 Extravaganza on the Friday; Charles Hazlewood conducts The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra with soloist Lang Lang on the Saturday for the classical evening; and on the Sunday, Acker Bilk and his Paramount Jazz Band will open the evening, followed by The Rat Pack - a performance of the West End show.

主播大秀 Somerset's Helen Otter spoke to Charles Hazlewood on his farm in Somerset, from which he broadcasts his 主播大秀 Radio 2 show. About the classical evening at this year's Extravaganza, Charles said: "It's a total celebration of Mozart. 2006 is an important year for Mozart, as it happens to be the 250th anniversary of his birth. "I have a passionate interest in bringing Mozart to my community, especially in such a spectacular setting - Glastonbury Abbey is so special. "It's great to have the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra down, and we'll have an amazing night." You can listen to Charles talking about the Extravaganza, by clicking on this audio link:
