Glastonbury Music Festival

Glastonbury Festival, 40 years old in 2010, is a national institution. But is it worth the title of best festival in the world? Well, its certainly the biggest in the UK, in capacity and in size. The sheer scale of it is mind blowing, and when viewed from one of the surrounding hills at night, there is no other way to describe than a small town glowing with a myriad of lights. With loads of stages, tents, stalls and fields there is to much to explore in one weekend, literally. The music itself is always excellent, with an eccletic mix of old and new, with many bands looking to make headlines with extra special performances. The iconic pyramid ...  Read the complete review

I'm a big fan of my live music & had done most of the major UK festivals such as V, Reading & Leeds and the Isle of Wight but Glastonbury was the one exception I had not managed to go until I got the opportunity last year. Well what can I say, the whole experience is so difficult to sum into worlds, it was so different to any festival I'd been to before. Music was only a part of what Glastonbury had to offer, there was so much more besides. When you arrive at the site, you will notice just how large the whole thing is is & will be spoiled for choice on where to camp. All the camping is merged in with the festival and not in a seperate ...  Read the complete review

One INCREDIBLE festival. On arriving, it was a case of trying to find a stop to camp and considering that we arrived late thursday night, we were lucky enough to find a spot fairly near the pyramid stage, altho sadly on a hill so we were tipping downwards when sleeping! However, the mud, the discomfort and the toilets are all worth it when the music starts. And what a line-up! So many bands, so many tents and what an incredible incredible atmosphere. Every1 loves the music and there's nothing like standing in a field with 20,000 other people who love the same band as much as you do. Blur was my highlight, a set full of hope and nostalgia, and I had tears in my eyes as ...  Read the complete review

Glastonbury 2009. This is my review of it based on the experience i had (Its so big, so many people will have different experiences) Ok so we arrived on the friday, which is strange because you usually stay from the wednesday until the monday. The traffic on the way in was minimal. We were directed to the car park and we parked up, got all the gear out of the car and carried it to a field already full of tents (they had already been there 48 hours) so we had to find a decent spot to put it up in. It was quite easy to find a place to camp. We got all the gear into the tent then set off to see what was happening around the ...  Read the complete review

Ok, so I've not done this sort of review before so I hope this is alright. I'm gonna take you through my experience of Glastonbury this year, which is my third in a row. I enjoyed it very much. I travelled to Glastonbury this year with my good friend Andy, after last year's excursion on my own. We decided that it would be a good idea to get to the site nice and early as we like to camp by the Pyramid Stage....which is also close to Lulu's Cafe which has in the past always served up a mean Bacon butty in the morning. GETTING THERE We left the Isle Of Wight on Wednesday morning, catching the 5.45am ferry to Portsmouth. Once in Portsmouth ...  Read the complete review
