The Glastonbury Festival of Contemporary Performing Arts is a five-day festival of contemporary performing arts held near Pilton, Somerset, England, in most summers. In addition to contemporary music, the festival hosts dance, comedy, theatre, circus, cabaret, and other arts. Leading pop and rock artists have headlined, alongside thousands of others appearing on smaller stages and performance areas. Films and albums have been recorded at the festival, and it receives extensive television and newspaper coverage.
Glastonbury ticket holders have been left thousands of pounds out of pocket after a luxury glamping company went bust.
From humble beginnings to a global phenomenon - Glastonbury festival has evolved throughout the years.
