All aboard for Glastonbury 2011

21 June 2011

Once again, the Drop the Debt Routemaster bus has whizzed its way down to Glastonbury to get the word out about debt. Here's what you can expect...

This year, we're going to be bending your ear to Stop The Dodgy Dealers.

Who? Well, arms traders and fossil fuel extracters for a start. They're just two of the controversial industries British taxpayer's money is being used to support.

Their dodgy deals have created billions of pounds of secret debts for developing countries around the world - like Egypt, Kenya and Indonesia.

It's a modern-day story of poverty, big business and politicians looking the other way.

Find out what it's all about (or just get your picture taken with a man in a giant fat suit) by tracking us down in the Other Field!

Here's a handy map:

2011 Bands Line-up

Every year, thousands of Glastonbury goers learn about our work and how important it is for the Global South to have their unfair and unsustainable sovereign debts cancelled.

But it's not only festival goers, but performers who help to support us by playing at the Drop the Debt bus and carrying our message to their fans too.

We'd like to thank the following artists for their amazing support and for agreeing to play in front of the Drop The Debt bus. Come and find us opposite the Other Stage! These are the wonderful performers who will be playing:

Friday

Martin White and his Klezmer Band

Maybe Myrtle Tyrtle  

Kevin Brown

Captain Accident & The Disasters

Saturday

Mojohooker

My First Tooth

Ruby & The Strompettes

Katey Brooks

Sunday

After our success last year, we hope to see even more of you paying a visit to our bus and signing our petition, even if we are not as successful with the weather!

We would also like to thank Garry of Gazart (www.gazart.co.uk) for donating our banners.
