Is this your Woodstock?

Is this your Woodstock?

Its an annual thing...huge festival, over 100 stages on a farm in Somerset. Everything from Rock acts to folk, dance, punk, acoustic, performance art, comedians etc...It sells out within hours before anyone even knows who is playing!

 

[lovetopleasewomen]

That sounds pretty sweet! Ozzie ever show up?

Every year I say I'll do it.
Every year I manage not to do it.

Haven't even watched any yet this year....wasn't particularly overwhelmed with the line up tbh. <shrug>

The bands on the side stages are often better.

Just watched the Radiohead set - amazing!! And Elbow did an unannounced set yesterday.

There's someone in the world who's never heard of Glastonbury? How is that even possible?

Well, you know, it's only been running since the 70s, and probably the biggest festival in the world.

exactly...over 100 stages!

Actually, I checked, and I don't think it is the biggest, but I'm sure that's just because of space constraints, given how stupidly quickly the tickets sell.

Probably the best known. Yes they sell out before anyone knows who is appearing!

Tis true. I had somebody once ask me where South Florida was so things like this do happen. But I did hear of Glastonbury in the news yesterday after Johnny Depp showed up.

Brad Pitt was at the side of the stage too.

Rumours are that The Killers are are making a surprise appearance tomorrow
