Glastonbury is known for hosting one of the biggest music festivals each year, the Glastonbury Festival. Created by Michael Eavis, the event has been running since the 1970s and has even become a family business.
According to Thought Economics, in a 2019 interview with British Airways Business Life, his daughter Emily shared, “The festival and the perception of it are very hard to pin down, they mean so much, in so many ways, to so many people. If you ask one person what Glastonbury means to them, it will be a very different answer to another. One of the most precious aspects of Glastonbury is specifically that we can’t put our finger on it. It’s evolved slowly over 50 years to become what it is today – we’ve tried things that have worked, some have not, and allowed it to evolve.”
She added, “It feels to us that the festival is owned by the people, and me and my Dad are kind-of custodians of it. In that sense, it’s a bit like a sailing ship… me and my Dad drive it, but the ship is made of a few hundred people – our key organisers and creatives, who build each part of the ship with their own vision. It’s actually really quite incredible.”
With the festival returning soon, here’s everything to know about when and where it’s happening.
