Glastonbury Music festival

One of the most iconic music festivals in the World, and arguably the most iconic of the United Kingdom, Glastonbury Music festival has been called many things, from the British Woodstock to the New Roskilde. Set in the village of Pilton, in Somerset, and close to the iconic village and historical site of Glastonbury, this festival has progressed through the ages and proved to be an example of how large gatherings of people should be conducted.

Nowadays, the festival adheres to strict rules regarding the flow of people in and out of the festival site. Controversial measures, such as the issue of tickets that compelled the owner to take a mandatory bus trip to the village. This was due to the immense amount of cars that was flooding the festival, from private owners, group rentals and cars from Somerset rentals companies.

If you’re interested in going to the festival this year, sadly the tickets are sold out. This year’s edition will be headlined by Gorillaz, who replace U2 after Bono sustained a back injury, Muse and a surprising Stevie Wonder. Snoop Dogg, Scissor Sisters, Shakira, Faithless, Jack Johnson and a solo act by former Guns’n’Roses guitar player Slash are other big names in the festival.
