Description
Glastonbury 50: The Official Story of Glastonbury Festival The story of Glastonbury Festival begins in 1970, when Michael Eavis invited revellers to his field in Somerset to attend a 'Pop, Folk & Blues' festival. Tickets were just £1 each, enticing over a thousand customers with the promise of music, dance, poetry, theatre, lights and spontaneous entertainment. This humble beginning has grown into a global phenomenon, with a gigantic 'city in the fields' attracting a quarter of a million people each year. Over five decades, the Eavis's vision has expanded to include big name performers, artists and designers from every branch of the creative arts. Today, Glastonbury Festival is the largest outdoor green fields event in the world, beamed live to more than 40 countries around the globe. In this book, Michael and Emily Eavis reveal the stories behind the headlines, and celebrate 50 years of history in the Vale of Avalon.
