Glastonbury

Less a festival than a temporary city of 200,000 with its own healing fields, secret sets and micro-nations.

Takes place in Glastonbury, Somerset, England — nearest airport Bristol (BRS), about 26km away.

The festival

The Pyramid Stage is only the front door — the real initiation is the south-east corner after midnight, a hallucinatory sprawl of installations and sound systems. Tickets require pre-registration and a legendary October scramble, so recruit a syndicate. Pack wellies whatever the forecast, and give yourself a full day to find the good stuff.
