NOTE: There is no Glastonbury 2012. Glastonbury will return in 2013

Surely needing no introduction, Glastonbury is the UK's biggest and best loved festival of performing arts. For five mind-bending days each year, Somerset's Pilton Farm is transformed into a breathtaking maze of over 50 stages, tents, and outdoor arenas hosting music of every genre imaginable as well as cabaret, theatre, circus, children's entertainment, poetry, holistic therapies, crafts and much, much more. It really does need to be seen - and felt - to believed. This year's headliners are as surprising as ever, with Beyonce, Coldplay and U2 set to rock the legendary Pyramid stage. But really, with so much to experience at Glastonbury, the headline acts are almost irrelevant.

History of Glastonbury

The Glastonbury Festival of Contemporary Performing Arts, commonly abbreviated to Glastonbury or Glasto, is the largest greenfield music and performing arts festival in the world. The festival is best known for its contemporary music, but also features dance, comedy, theatre, circus, cabaret and many other arts. For 2005, the enclosed area of the festival was over 900 acres (3.6 km²), had over 385 live performances and was attended by around 150,000 people. In 2007, over 700 acts played on over 80 stage and the capacity expanded by 20,000 to 177,000.
Glastonbury was heavily influenced by hippy ethics and the free festival movement in the 1970s, especially the Isle of Wight Festival. Organiser Michael Eavis stated that he decided to host the first festival, then called Pilton Festival, after seeing an open air Led Zeppelin concert at the Bath Festival of Blues and Progressive Music 1970 at the nearby Bath and West Showground in 1970. The festival retains vestiges of this tradition, including the Green Futures/Healing Fields area.
