The Glastonbury Festival, run by Michael Eavis and his family at Worthy Farm in Somerset, England, is a famous five-day event held usually in late June. Started in 1970, it attracts people from all over the world to enjoy music, dance, comedy, theater, and more. Big-name artists often perform, and the festival also supports charities and promotes environmental care.
Glastonbury features three big headliners who wrap up each day with a major performance on the main stage. This year, the headliners are Coldplay, Dua Lipa, and SZA.There’s also a special slot for a music ‘legend,’ an artist who has been in the industry for a long time and is highly respected. This year, that spot goes to Shania Twain.
Other performers include pop stars like Olivia Dean and Camila Cabello, bands such as Jungle and Two Door Cinema Club, and other big names like Little Simz and Arlo Parks. In previous years, they’ve had major acts like Elton John and Paul McCartney.
At Glastonbury, there’s a lot more to enjoy besides music. You’ll find performances, classes, experiences, and plenty of activities. For kids, there’s a dedicated section with music lessons, a large climbing wall, and many craft activities.
The festival is also known for its strong commitment to sustainability. Visitors are asked not to bring gazebos as they take up too much space and are often left behind.
The flags at Glastonbury will be captivating because every year attendees bring large flags representing their home countries. Some also bring customized flags to locate their friends in the crowd, alongside football club banners and Pride flags.
At the festival, musicians have created temporary tattoos to support WaterAid, a charity that helps provide clean water in areas with limited access. These tattoos will be distributed at water stations and restrooms throughout the event.
According to the CBBC article “Glastonbury 2024: Everything you need to know,” “Around 200,000 lucky people will be heading to the festival but for everybody else, big Glastonbury performances are broadcast live on BBC iPlayer.” This event is particularly unique, occurring only once every five years, as reported by The Independent.
