With Glastonbury already in full swing, I thought this would be the perfect opportunity to start Festival Friday.
Glastonbury festival is awesome! The line up, the atmosphere, the location, everything! Glastonbury can always be relied upon for a brilliant line up across all of the main stages. The site is huge, which can also be crowded, meaning if you are in a rush to get to a stage it can be difficult. The site is so big, it's been split into different areas. Each of theses areas are so unique and different from each other. From Block 9, to Arcadia, to Green Fields, each has a lot to offer throughout the day and night. To get the best experience I recommend exploring as many areas as you can, although the main acts are usually at the Pyramid Stage, most of the magic happens in the outskirts. As I said each area is so different, they all have a different, positive atmosphere, except when they are overcrowded perhaps. But I think navigating your way through the crowds is all part of the fun really. I worked at Glastonbury last year which meant I felt I didn't have enough time to explore and get to see everyone I wanted to. However, as a normal festival goer you have plenty of time to see the acts you like as well as explore.

Here's a little history and information about the festival. Glastonbury Festival (formally known as Glastonbury Festival of Contemporary Performing Arts) was founded in 1970 by Michael Eavis. Starting the day after Jimi Hendrix died, 1500 people attended, it cost £1, including the free milk from the farm. It's amazing to see how much Glastonbury festival has grown since then. After going through a couple of name changes, growing to the size of a city, expanding to all types of art forms and music genres, and having crowds of up to around 150,000 people. However throughout the 33 times the festival has been held over the 45 years since, they have always wanted to make a difference. This difference has made millions of pounds in donations to charities such as Greenpeace, WaterAid and Oxfam.
