Glastonbury Festival 2009

This place is like a whole world of its own. One of the biggest (they claim to be THE biggest) in the world, Glastonbury is 900 acres of music and art and community in the Vale of Avalon, with mythology and religious traditions that are hundreds of years old. 900 ACRES. That's more than a lot. That's an empire. King Arthur might even be buried there.

It's been around for 35 years, and shortly after it's beginning, it became a haven for hippies that were coming from celebrating the Summer Solstice at Stonehenge. Later they built a giant pyramid that served as a cowshed and animal food store when the festival was not going on.The festival has consistently grown over time, and has thus had to sometimes change locations to accomodate the growing crowd. There has also been a history of struggle with licensing restrictions, and the festival organizers always seem to prevail in making sure the show goes on. Main organizer Michael Eavis has always played a steady hand in enabling the festival to happen.



In addition to the music, there's also theatre, circus, cabaret, community. Check out the lineup below, its more than huge.Anyone interested in buying a ticket has to register with the festival via their web site or through the mail and provide a photo of themselves, in an attempt to cut down on ticket reselling.ALSO: They've announced a new booking scheme that lets people buy up to six tickets for the 2009 festival. Tickets went on sale on October 5th, 2008.Glastonbury has announced a new area for this year's Festival, William's Green, named after Michael Eavis' grandfather, who planted crops at Worthy Farm.

Reviews about Glastonbury Festival

• went to my first glastonbury festi in '92. was the first year it was televised and also the year that someone got shot!! had a wicked time, bjork was my music highlight and donuts my food of choice. (21-04-2009

• The Glastonbury Festival has become one of the premier festivals on the music calendar, held every year for the last 30 years or so.
  The "Glastonbury" festival is actually something of a misnomer; the site at Worthy Farm, owned by the festival organiser and farmer, Michael Eavis, is in the village of Pilton, situated just a couple of miles south of Shepton Mallet on the main route through to Glastonbury. Festival season sees the village invaded by music lovers from all corners of the globe and has increased in size over the years to entertain well over 100,000 people in 2004.by GB from Devizes from Devizes, United Kingdom (26-08-2005 )
