I’ve never really been to a proper English festival. But Glastonbury has to be about as British as it gets – rain, mud and…
This festival is just too big to show you. But here are some pictures anyway:
We queued for 8 hours
And met up with the Blue Bus
See their amazing bus in my other post: This bus will make you want to live in a bus
We did our hair and makeup
Because our faces don’t match our tickets
To paradise
Here’s how Felix does it…
The festival is in Somerset, England
It’s been going since the 70s
1000 acres of festival
To put the size in perspective
The red line marks how much space Glastonbury festival would take up in central London
A perimeter of 8.5 miles
It has some amazing installations
And performing arts
Here are some more photos…
There’s a Glastonbury newspaper
They’re all printed on that vintage heidelberg printing press in the corner
And a post office to send a postcards home
2016 was the muddiest year yet
Michael Evais (the landowner) says it’s because of global warming
Hundreds of tractors have to tow vans in and out
Here are some more mud photos…
There’s just one rule of the festival: leave no trace
And that was with 40000 bins
I feel like there’s a message here…
What do you reckon?
Glastonbury is just… HUGE. The lineup of acts is crazily overwhelming. It’s like loads of festivals in one. It can take an hour to walk from one side to the other. For me, it’s all the small things that make this festival unique. Get rid of the big acts and the main stage and get more bins = perfect. What do you reckon?
