Uber is unveiling a 100MPH mini-festival on board an actual train headed to Castle Cary for revellers heading to Glastonbury. Passengers will be given the performance of a lifetime by British jungle and drum and bass star Nia Archives, who herself is heading to the festival to perform for tens of thousands of fans.
Festival goers looking to snag a free seat must visit splityouruberridewithnia.com and register for the intimate high-speed gig. The train will be transformed into the ultimate concert venue, including a bespoke festival lighting rig and sound system, dialling up the decibels from London Paddington to Castle Cary.
On the day, riders will be escorted into a VIP area of Paddington where they will be given first-class treatment, have their luggage stored onboard, and be provided with refreshments from Uber Eats before climbing aboard the glitzy train carriage.
