As a press release explains: "Money raised will be donated to the British Red Cross, Oxfam and War Child, who are all doing vital work in areas of conflict, delivering humanitarian support to those who need it most."

The prize draw is open until 12 noon (GMT) on Thursday 28th March at https://www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/glastonbury-emergency-fund.

As explained on the Crowdfunder page: "Each winner will receive two tickets with entry to the Festival for themselves and a guest."

Glasto-hopefuls can give £10 for one entry, £20 for two entries, £50 for 5 prize entries and £100 for 10 entries.

Meanwhile, the festival has yet to confirm its line-up for 2024, but so far everyone from Dua Lipa to Madonna has been rumoured to top the bill this year.

The now iconic Glastonbury tea time slot has also generated plenty of rumours with everyone from Fleetwood Mac icon Stevie Nicks to Chaka Khan all rumoured to perform after Emily Eavis confirmed the Sunday Legend would be "female" this year.

Tickets for Glastonbury 2024 sold out in less than an hour, with fans getting another chance to buy tickets in the April resale, though its date is yet to be confirmed.
