THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER A BOOK OF THE YEAR PICK IN THE TIMES:
'Captivating' A ROUGH TRADE BOOK OF THE YEAR: 'In-depth and
inspiring' 'Beautifully compiled ... the perfect festival
experience' SUNDAY TIMES Glastonbury 50 is the authorised,
behind-the-scenes, inside story of the music festival that has
become a true global phenomenon. The story begins in 1970. The day
after Jimi Hendrix's death... dairy farmer Michael Eavis invites
revellers to his field in Somerset to attend a 'Pop, Folk &
Blues' festival. Tickets are GBP1 each, enticing more than a
thousand customers with the promise of music, dance, poetry,
theatre, lights and spontaneous entertainment - as well as free
milk from his own Worthy Farm cows. Fast forward through five
tumultuous decades and the Eavis's vision now encompasses a
gigantic 'city in the fields', with a total annual population
nearing a quarter of a million. Tickets sell out within minutes,
the show is beamed live to more than 40 countries around the globe,
and over 3 million people are registered to attend. Meanwhile, the
bill has expanded to include big name performers, artists and
designers from every branch of the creative arts. Glastonbury
Festival is now the largest outdoor green fields event in the
world. In their own words, Michael and Emily Eavis reveal the
stories behind the headlines, and celebrate 50 years of history in
the Vale of Avalon. They're joined by a host of big-name
contributors from the world of music - among them Adele, JAY-Z,
Dolly Parton, Chris Martin, Noel Gallagher, Lars Ulrich and Guy
Garvey. They're joined by artists - Stanley Donwood, Kurt Jackson
and many more. Writers - Caitlin Moran, Lauren Laverne, Billy Bragg
- and by a host of photographers, from Seventies icon Brian Walker
to rock and roll legends Jill Furmanovsky and Greg Williams.
Together they bring you the magic that makes Glastonbury,
Glastonbury.
