So you survived Glastonbury - but could you survive 30 festivals around the world in 30 weeks? If so, then read on
The latest "best job in the world" cum marketing wheeze sounds like it could be a blast but probably should come with a health warning. Applications open today for "one of the most rock & roll jobs on the planet", trumpets the release calling for a full-time globe-trotting guide, chaperone and front person for Trident's Perpetual Festival Experience.
The role, for Trident Gum, involves the arduous task of attending 30 festivals around the world - from Creamfields in Buenos Aires to Bestival on the Isle of Wight - in 30 weeks for a salary of £30,000. It should appeal to those who have themselves pegged as the "last man standing" at every weekender.
But with play comes responsibility – the successful applicant will have to look after weekly competition winners, and "bring to life their once in a lifetime musical expedition" through regular tweets, blogs, photos and video diaries.
The first hurdle to the world tour is to impress a panel of judges including Rob da Bank (Bestival curator) and Steve Jenner founder of virtualfestivals.com. Then you're on the road - potentially to ruin.
