Five days in a enormous greenfield, surrounded by thousands of people with the same goal: to be part of the largest summer festival in the whole world.  That’s Glastonbury (UK).

Located in Southwest England, 10 kilometers away from Glastonbury City, you will find the entrance (after some queues) of a huge tented city. And believe me, it will worth it. There is no place like Glastonbury. Get wild on it, you won’t be the only one.

A perimeter of eight and a half miles of wildness and excitement

That’s right, an enormous area  in the Vale of Avalon, good weather and tons and tons of music. What else do you need? This festival means a convergence of different life styles, cultures and gives you the possibility to be in touch with people of all over the globe.

There is no way to be bored in Glastonbury

With more than 20 different areas and lots of activities, there is no way to feel bored in this huge summer festival. From the main music stages, passing by the theatre and circus, the green fields, the dance village… and keep counting!

But, who?

The most important names in music were invited to this 5 non-stop days of live performances. U2, Coldplay, Beyoncé, The Chemical Brothers, Kaiser Chiefs… are some examples of what audience could see from 22nd to 26th June.

Bad news, readers. There is no festival scheduled in 2012. We just need to wait until 2013 to assist again to this hotspot in music. Glastonbury will be back soon.
