Glastonbury is a festival like no other, and this visual history
follows the world-renowned gathering on its 50th anniversary--complete
with photographs, line-ups, and firsthand accounts.
From its humble beginnings as a folk festival (where £1 got you a ticket
and a pint of milk), Glastonbury has grown into one of today's biggest
global music events. Hundreds of the world's most famous acts have
played the iconic Pyramid Stage--including the Rolling Stones, David
Bowie, Coldplay, Radiohead, The Smiths, Jay-Z, Metallica, and Paul
McCartney--and tickets sell out within minutes. 50 Years of
Glastonbury celebrates the music, the mud, and the mayhem that have
made the festival so popular, for fans and artists alike. Packed with
incredible photographs and stories of the acts and attendees who have
made Glastonbury a phenomenon, this is a must-read book for
festivalgoers and music fans everywhere.
