Glastonbury is held every June on the 23rd to the 27th.
it is held just outside a Glastonbury town on a massive farm called worthy farm, which a mostly a cow farm. It stared in the 1970's and was only a pound to get in, with free milk. The festival is run by Michael Eavis, and his daughter.


Every year Glastonbury havee a diffident line-up of music, it would be nearly impossible to list them all on here. 
They have loads of small stages that will have comedian's and small singing artists they even have poem slams in the smaller tents. 
The two main stages are the pyramid stage and the other stage, which is where the bigger more famous acts and bands will preform, mostly bands though. 
They also have a stage for the acoustic music and dance stages. 
Some of the main people and bands playing at Glastonbury 2010 are, Dizzee Rascal, Jack Johnson, Hot chip. La roux, Kate Nash and so on.

The target audience now days it much bigger then what is was when it started out in 1970, it was Micheal's idea to hold the event because of his inspiration from other festivals. IT was held the day after Jimi Hendrix died and only 1,500 people attended, back the it would of been hippys that would have been in to music simpler to Jimi Hendrix, the crowd would have been much smaller and tight knitted

As the festival grew and got in to the 2 thousands, 100, 000 people attended. The festival was getting big by now. The audience started to change and music got much more wider, they had bands such as chemical brothers and David bowie. 

By 2009 the festival was massive, 134, 000 people attended and 6,000 Sunday passes. Of course Glastonbury has caravan camping and and camping sites. By the 2 thousands they became more f a culture festival and i artist festival, they have Fields for green peace where everyone lives in tepees and they show you them carving wood and living natural. The areas are all very different and appeal to a wide range of people. By now people form around the world attend Glastonbury because of how famous it is. The artists and bands got much bigger and any kind of people will go for the experience
