Do you remember the boy in the photo? Well, as you were told in the introduction, this is Alan from Manchester. He truly loves music, and plays the guitar in a local band. Of course, he never misses Glastonbury, and it was here where he met two other festival goers - Sean and, his girlfriend, Holly while they were putting up their tents. This five-day festival opened its gates to 135,000 fans who will turn the working farm where the event is held into a huge tented city. Good news this year is that the weather looks fine unlike previous years when the outdoor music festival survived floods, lightning and has become known as the origin of "mud-surfing". Glastonbury began in 1970 and has grown from a gathering of 1,500 hippies on a dairy farm, each paying one pound and receiving free milk, to a family-friendly festival of around 135,000 fans. Alan, Sean and Holly share their experiences about the different music festivals they have been to. Alan explains to them that Creamfields and Reading festivals are two other cool venues to share their passion for music. The video below will show you the origins of Glastonbury Festival. |
