Why go
Glastonbury is the world's most famous music festival, 200,000 people across hundreds of stages in the Somerset countryside over five days. What makes it exceptional is not just the lineup (which spans every genre simultaneously across five days) but the scale of the temporary city it becomes: 1,400 performances, theater, circus, art installations, markets, and the particular social energy of a quarter million people choosing to be in the same field. Nothing at this scale exists anywhere else.
When it runs
Five days in late June at Worthy Farm near Glastonbury town.

What to expect
Five days in late June at Worthy Farm near Glastonbury town. British summer weather is unpredictable, sunshine and mud can coexist in the same afternoon. Wellies are strongly advised regardless of forecast. The Pyramid Stage headliners are the global draw, but the festival's real value is in smaller stages (West Holts, The Park, Arcadia) and the late-night areas that run until dawn.
Getting there & around
Tickets sell out within minutes of going on sale, typically in October/November the previous year for the following June. No ticket, no entry. Coach services from London and multiple UK cities go directly to the festival gates; Castle Cary station has shuttle buses. All camping is on-site and included in the ticket price. Bring a tent, sleeping bag, waterproof layers, and wellies.
