Glastonbury

Today is the eve of one of the most if not the most famous music festival in the world:

Glastonbury

It began as a personal approach to the music, inspired by the Bath Festival of Blues, to which Michael Eavis and wife visited in 1969.

The Glastonbury's first edition had an attendance of 1,500 people whom were charged £1 pound per ticket  and were offered milk from the farm for free.

As the years passed by, the cost of the tickets has vary, although at the beginning there was an effort for making the Festival cost free, through fundraising.

Even when the Festival is not free, it still has the social responsibility part of it, as it supports charitable causes, like Oxfam, WaterAid, Greenpeace.

On top of that, Glastonbury offers different zones in its 150 acres, one of them is the Kidz Field.

This year will count with the presence of Stephen Hawkins, and Dynamo. Something to not lose the opportunity to visit this field.

It has been 45 years of music, in which we have seen artists like: Bowie, UB40, The Cure, Van Morrison, Coldpay, Rod Stewart, Radiohead just to mention some.

This year will be no exception, with Florence+ The Machine as the headline for friday the 26th of June.
