NME Festival Guide 2008
Glastonbury

Glastonbury Festival 2007 as seen from the air. The first ever Glasto was held in 1970 and featured performances from Marc Bolan, Al Stewart and Stackridge. A mere 1,500 people attended that year, compared to the 177,500 of 2007 and the price of a ticket was £1, including free milk from the farm!
