Happy 40th Glastonbury


The 2010 Glastonbury Festival begins on the 23rd June at Worthy Farm in the village of Pilton, Somerset.

Michael Eavis held the first festival on his farm in 1970. 1.500 people attended and was headlined by Tyrannosaurus (later T.) Rex who stood in for a cancelled act at the last minute. Held on the last weekend of June virtually every year since then (in all weathers), it has become the defining English music & arts festival and has attracted some (if not most) of the greatest performers of the last 4 decades.
