Glastonbury

Glastonbury Festival

When: June 27-29

Where: Worthy Farm, Somerset, UK.

What: Since its humble beginnings as the Pilton Festival in 1970, when T-Rex headlined to around 1,500 people, the west country festival has weathered almost forty years of sunshine, floods and a million unforgettable performances to become the behemoth it is today. Every June the site becomes the second biggest city in Somerset (after Bath) as around 200,000 punters and artists head down for music, poetry, performance and hedonism. Sleep when you get home.

Tickets: £155 for a weekend ticket plus £5 booking fee per tickets and £4 P&P.
