Glastonbury or glasto as it is known two alot of people is a contempory preforming arts festival.It is the largest greenfield music festival in the world which happens over the last week/weekend in june. Its location is Pilton in England It was founded by Sir Michael Eavis.

I thought that it would be very fitting to do my review on glastonbury 2008 as it is the first glasto that i have been to and can give a fresh take on anybody that is thinking of going.

One of the first things that hit me about this festival is that it truly is the happiest friendliest place on earth. I witnessed no trouble and neither did anyone else i encounted along the way. It is great beacuse after all you dont pay £175(which i will go into later) to end up getting abused my some drunken idiot who has nothing better than ruin everybodys time.
The amount of young children that was there, was also a big shock to me but it also gave the place a very warm family feel. which i would definalty recomend to any family who have a passion for live music to go to.

The main thing about this festival is pretty obvious LIVE MUSIC. I am an avid music fan and love live music its what gives me the passion to buy tickets to see gigs.I was very fortuante to go to a year where the line up was really good where i got two see a lot of my favourite bands.But a great asset that this festival has that there is not only music but also circus shows raves scenery and also movies on a huge screen to be seen.So if at some point you want a break its very nice to go and see something different.

The food and drink at glastonbury is what you expect chips burgers waffles cakes pizzas pretty much any type you want. A key tip i would advise any newcomers is that you look around because different stalls have different prices so its good to shop about.
Also same with the drinks although glasto is the only festival that you are allowed to bring your own beer which i would advise as some super markets offer good deals on selected drinks.

There are a few bad bits i will say in this review because i would not want to miss lead anybody The line up changes every year even though there will be bands you wanna see its nice to see whos headlining which you can see a few weeks before tickets go on sale by going to the website www.glastonburyfestivals.co.uk.

Glastonbury is a massive place so being on your feet all day outside is quite hard on the body especially if the weather isnt to nice so there is alot of walking to do i must warn you about that.

This bit i will repeat that 175 for a ticket is cheap,picture this watching a headliner would cost you average 100 pounds a tickets so 175 per ticket for 3/4 days of music is a cheap price.

And last but is the worst the dreaded toilets i must again warn you that they are night nice but i didnt expect them to be with 60,000 people all in one place.

You can either camp of go in a camper van i decided to camp as it gave me a nice feel of the festival and would say i would defiantly camp again


I hope my review has helped you in some way and i havent bored you to much but it really is an excellent expierence weather you like music or not or have young ones i definatly recomend you to give it a try

Summary: you have to go once its an expierence
