On June 26, in Somerset, the Glastonbury Music Festival opened, commonly referred to as Glastonbury for short. This year the music event coincided with the hottest time in the UK.
Traditionally, such a festival is held in the fields where the event was founded by a British farmer named Michael Eaves. On the first day, that is, on the opening day, it was not yet so hot, the maximum temperature was only 25 degrees. But in the following days, according to forecasts of weather forecasters, this figure will be large. Thermometer columns will rise to 28 degrees, and possibly even up to 30 degrees.
The music festival will last only five days. During this time, there will be 2,800 performances on 79 stages. The central stage is the Pyramid, and the most popular performers will perform on it. The last three days of the Glastonbury Festival this 2019 will feature bands called The Cure and The Killers, as well as rapper Stormzy. This year, Lauryn Hill, Kylie Minogue, George Ezra, Janet Jackson, Liam Gallagher, Miley Cyrus, musical groups Bastille, Vampire Weekend and many others decided to take part in such a musical event.
According to estimated data, this year such a musical event should be attended by more than two hundred thousand people who love music. They will be able to disperse in different spectator zones of Decent Farm, which are presented in large numbers. This farm is owned by the farmer Ibiza. It has an impressive size, with an area of over 360 hectares.
The owner of the farm, Ibiza, is 83 years old. This year he received the first guests of the festival independently. It is worth remembering that last year passed without such a festival. The reason for this is the need to give the fields a break from such activities. So that they do not get spoiled by the festival with thousands of spectators, such an event is not held once every five to six years.
The first Glastonbury Festival took place back in 1970. The original ticket price was only £ 1, but now it has increased to £ 248, and another £ 5 will have to pay to book a ticket to the festival.
