"It was a Sunday night, the sounds of David Bowie playing Glastonbury were whirling around my head, and I was stuck to my seat in a theatre in Street, memorised and transfixed by the ride Julien Temple's new Glastonbury film had just taken me on. From its opening soundtrack of squelching, muddy footsteps, this is a film that takes you straight into the festival, no matter where you're watching it.

In 1970, a young farmer named Michael Eavis opened his 150-acre farm to 1,500 people who paid one pound each to watch a handful of pop and folk stars perform all weekend long, and the Glastonbury Festival was born. The following year, several rich hippies provided funds to enlarge the event, and 12,500 people turned up to see David Bowie and Joan Baez. For most of the past 30 years, the Worthy Farm in Glastonbury has provided a delirious outdoor concert for thousands of people over the summer-solstice weekend at the end of June. Julien Temple, (director of the Sex Pistols documentary, The Filth and the Fury), has spent the past few years collecting footage from every single Glastonbury Festival.

Director, Julien Temple's "GLASTONBURY", is the defining record of the longest running and most pre-eminent music festival in the world. It’s everything you’d expect from a feature length film about the world’s most famous music festival – with plenty of surprises along the way."
