Glastonbury Festival is one of the world's largest and most famous performing arts festivals, held annually (with occasional "fallow years") at Worthy Farm in Pilton, Somerset, England. It was founded by Michael Eavis in 1970, when it was known as the Pilton Pop Festival, and is now run by Michael and his daughter Emily Eavis.

The festival is known for:

1. Its enormous scale - typically hosting around 200,000 attendees across 900 acres

2. Musical diversity - featuring everything from rock and pop to electronic, jazz, folk, and classical music

3. Multiple stages and areas - including the iconic Pyramid Stage, Other Stage, and unique areas like Shangri-La and the Green Fields

4. Its commitment to charitable causes - the festival has raised millions for various organizations, with Oxfam, Greenpeace, and WaterAid being major beneficiaries

5. The famous Glastonbury mud - the festival is notorious for often muddy conditions due to British weather

Beyond music, Glastonbury incorporates:

• theatre

• circus

• cabaret

• art installations

• political activism

It's known for championing environmental causes and has strong green initiatives, including banning single-use plastics at recent festivals.

The festival has hosted legendary performances from artists like David Bowie, Radiohead, Beyoncé, Paul McCartney, and many others throughout its history. Getting tickets is notoriously difficult, with them typically selling out within minutes of going on sale.
