Glastonbury
Glastonbury is THE perennial Music Festival, It is THE single largest greenfield music and performing artcs festival in the world. No other festival can rival glastonbury for the size and depth of its festival area and performers.
The Festival takes place in a beautiful location – 900 acres in the Vale of Avalon, an area steeped in symbolism, mythology and religious traditions dating back many hundreds of years. It’s where King Arthur may be buried, where Joseph of Arimathea is said to have walked, where leylines converge. And the site is ENORMOUS – more than a mile and a half across, with a perimeter of about eight and a half miles.
Due to the sheer number of past glastonbury’s, we cant have an individual page for each glastonbury in the navigation so we here we list previous lineups from 2003 and older. As you will note as you turn back the years almost all the biggest acts EVER have played at glastonbury.
If you have never attended glastonbury the only thing that can be said is that no superlatives can prepare you for the size, bizzareness, fun and cultured expansiveness that is glastonbury, end to end could be up to a 3 hour walk. tents are EVERYWHERE, all types of interests are catered for, weather its rock, dance, indie, spoken word, poetry, wordshops, painting, comedy and much much MUCH more, its hard to define glastonbury into one paragraph, purely because it is THAT big. Literally teh expanse of 8 acres filled with 160,000 music lovers, the best bands in the world and all the worlds arts and craft and hobbies and interests into 50 or so tents. Campsites have their own stages, unknown bands to giant headline bands playing multiple times over the course of the 6 days in which you camp
Glastonbury is an experience you will not forget and cannot allow yourself not to experience it in your lifetime.
