Commonly referred to simply as Glastonbury Festival and known colloquially as "Glasto," this five-day festival of performing arts is held near Pilton, Somerset, England, most summers. It is the biggest open-air festival in the world.
Films and albums have been recorded at the festival, and it receives extensive TV and newspaper coverage. Glastonbury takes place on 1,500 acres of farmland [3] and is attended by about 200,000 people [4], with extensive security, transportation, water, and electricity-supply infrastructure (stuff built on the ground).
Regarded as a major event in contemporary British culture, the festival is inspired by the ethos of the hippie, the counterculture of the 1960s, and the free festival movement. [It's the British version of Woodstock.]

While the number of attendees is sometimes swollen by gatecrashers, a record of 300,000 people was set at the 1994 festival, headlined by the Levellers, who performed on the Pyramid Stage [5].
Most festival staff are unpaid volunteers, helping the festival to raise millions of pounds for charity organizations [6].
What kind of hippie festival?

Vestiges of these traditions are retained in the Green Fields area, which includes sections known as the Green Futures, the Stone Circle, and Healing Field [7].
Michael Eavis hosted the first one, then called the Pilton Festival, after seeing an open-air Led Zeppelin concert in 1970 at the Bath Festival of Blues and Progressive Music. More: Glastonbury Festival
