Elsewhere on site there\u2019s a wealth of activity going on with the return of the G Spot comedy stage featuring some of Ireland\u2019s finest, bone-tickling talent.<\/p>\n

And for kids and the young at heart there\u2019s a host of activities from face painting and balloon modelling to samba parades and workshops and iconic Swingball stations.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis year\u2019s line-up reflects the diversity and scale of talent that we have at our fingertips,\u201d said festival organiser Paddy Glasgow.<\/p>\n

\u201cGlasgowbury aims to be the sort of festival which celebrates the best in new and established homegrown talent and the large variety of acts on show this year contributes to what I think is one of the most exciting Glasgowbury line-ups yet.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe festival is run very much in the spirit of the people and it\u2019s the people what make Glasgowbury so special and I look forward to welcoming them all to Eagle\u2019s Rock once again.\u201d<\/p>\n
