Wed 23 Jun – Glastonbury Festival of Contemporary Performing Arts 2010
As the original British music festival turns 40, founder Michael Eavis and daughter Emily promised something exceptional. Arriving on Wednesday morning to sweltering sunshine, maybe it wasn’t just the music they were talking about.
Before the offical bands started on Friday, a slew of attractions on Thursday helped keep spirits high, including from the return of Northern madman / genius Mik Artistik - performing numerous shows across the festival weekend, the debut of Stephen Fretwell's latest outfit Howls for a packed Queen's Head set, and Beans On Toast providing an entertaining outing on the Globe stage.
Friday
A switch around with stage times meant my Friday began watching Joshua Radin on the Other stage, whilst I awaited The Stranglers. Not a complete disaster, the former offering a surprisingly more gritty than you’d expect outing, the latter delivering classics ‘Peaches’ and ‘Golden Brown’ albeit it a little bit ropey (pun intended). … -
Glasto 2010 reviewed

Another Glasto has passed… and what a Glasto it was!
It saw temperatures soar into the high 20′s and nonstop sunshine from the gates open until the festival was over. This of course came with its own problems of dehydrated revelers (aprox 3000+ treated with heat related issues) and not being able to go more than 500 meters from some shade… but it wouldn’t be Glasto without some sort of apocalyptic weather, even if it doesn’t involve mud!
As well as the best heatwave since the early 90′s it was the 40th Anniversary of the Festival which started back in 1970 when the ticket price was a mere £1 and included free worthy farm milk. To Celebrate this achievement the line up (as you would expect) was outstanding, ranging from unsigned bands playing to 20 or 30 people to Motown legend Stevie Wonder headlining the famous Pyramid Stage to aprox 80,000 festival goers.

Wed 23 Jun – Glastonbury Festival of Contemporary Performing Arts 2010
Al jaren op het verlanglijstje: Glastonbury. Een van de meest tot de verbeelding sprekende festivals waarvoor de verslaggever elk jaar met open mond voor de tv zit als de BBC weer een marathon-uitzending maakt.
Dat wel of niet gaan moet je wel erg vroeg van te voren weten: online registeren met naam en pasfoto (tegen de zwarthandel) en dan al 8 maanden van te voren de kaartverkoop. Bijna een loterij of je er wel of niet doorheen komt; meestal is alles in één dag uitverkocht. Dit jaar dus geluk gehad, een paar weken terug plofte het ticket op de mat.

Glastonbury 2010 op KindaMuzik (in Dutch)

(In Dutch)
"Glastonbury: het enige festival waar je met een landkaart rondloopt." Om een idee te krijgen, drie à vier keer Lowlands als het om aantallen bezoekers, muziekpodia, artiesten en de terreinoppervlakte gaat. Normaal zou je daar ook de regen, modder en andere wateroverlast bij kunnen optellen, maar voor de eerste keer in het bestaan van Europa's grootste muziekfestival blijft het vijf dagen droog en zonnig.

Glastonbury 2010

Wednesday
For Glastonbury 2009 I had the relative luxury of a campervan. But for 2010, in order to experience the full festival experience, myself and my fellow glastonaut decided to camp in tents. So at 1:00am on Wednesday morning I was collected from home for the four hour drive to Somerset to be at the gates in good time for the 8:00am opening. Once in and tents set (all quite straightforward) we set-off to explore the site and to prepare ourselves for the England vs. Slovenia game being shown at the Pyramid stage.
The Pyramid arena was very busy and obviously many had turned up early to watch the game and savour the atmosphere. A fairly solid 1-0 win was the result, but I felt at this stage against the smallest country in the tournament, that the writing was on the wall for England.

I can get really excited by Glastonbury now it's June!

Ignore first few paragraphs to get onto the things to do bit!
As everyone knows the year is split into two halves which pivot around the shortest day and the longest day - or longest night/shortest night if you like.
A few days after longest night we have Christmas - which is obv. ace
A few days after longest day we have Glastonbury - which is the Christmas it's more acceptable to be covered in mud for the entirety of.
I started glastonburying back in 97 which was one of the really muddy ones. And then I kept coming back, every year it was on. When I started out I went mainly for the music - my day was a tightly co-ordinated dash between pyramid and jazz and other and dance tents. This was made easier by the fact I was younger/fitter, there were much less stages (with the other stage one year sinking into the mud and getting pulled!), and I had little money for cider/beer and so was fairly clear headed.
(On a money tip - the first few years I went me and my mates took about £30…
