Festival Information

Overview
Glastonbury is an iconic greenfield music and performing arts festival. First established in 1970, it has grown from a small gathering of 1,500 people to a massive cultural phenomenon attracting over 200,000 attendees. Worthy Farm hosts the 5-day Festival, which is located about 7 miles from Glastonbury Town. Glastonbury Festival showcases a diverse range of musical genres and artists, from rock and pop to folk and electronic music, on multiple stages including the iconic Pyramid Stage. Beyond music, Glastonbury offers a rich tapestry of experiences, including theatre, dance, comedy, and circus acts. Known for its commitment to activism and environmental causes, the festival has become a significant platform for social and cultural discourse. Most Festival staff are volunteers, helping to raise millions of pounds for charity organisations.
