Festival revellers 'should look to stretch their cash'

People heading to festivals over the summer have been advised to make their cash stretch as far as they can.

High street bank Alliance & Leicester has found that 24 per cent of women over the age of 50 attend gigs - more than the number of men heading to concerts.

Emma Walkley, current account manager with the firm, stated that the bank offers a product to people over 50 who still feel young at heart.

She said: "Our Premier 50 Current Account has been especially tailored for the go-getting age group of over 50s, offering a market leading rate of 8.5 per cent AER as well as bespoke lifestyle benefits."

This weekend the Glastonbury Festival kicks off. Among those performing are rap star Jay-Z, crooner Neil Diamond and Leonard Cohen.

Last year's event featured groups the Killers, Arctic Monkeys and Kasabian, along with Amy Winehouse and Liz Green.
