The 2011 Glastonbury Festival is a whole world of its
own. One of the biggest (they claim to be
THE biggest) in the world, the festival is 900 acres of music and art and community
in the Vale of Avalon, with mythology
and religious traditions that are hundreds
of years old. 900 ACRES. That's more than
a lot. That's an empire. King Arthur might even be buried there.
There's still room for a Friday night "special guest" on the Park Stage, and Emily Eavis told Lauren Laverne on BBC 6Music that it's not Led Zeppelin.
“There’s a slot on the Saturday which we have booked a set for which is really really exciting, but the slot on the Friday is not booked yet,” she added. “So for those of you thinking we might have Led Zepplin, you aren’t right. We haven’t actually got anyone yet.”
Announced headliners for 2011 are Beyonce, Coldplay and U2. Check out the complete 2011 Glastonbury lineup below.
The Glastonbury Festival is looking for cooks and kitchen helpers to work in June and July -- you get paid and also receive a staff past for the festival. Find out more
The Glastonbury Festival has been around for 35 years, and shortly
after it's beginning, it became a haven
for hippies that were coming from celebrating
the Summer Solstice at Stonehenge.
Later they built a giant pyramid that
served as a cowshed and animal food store
when the festival was not going on.
The Glastonbury Festival has consistently grown over
time, and has thus had to sometimes change
locations to accomodate the growing crowd.
There has also been a history of struggle
with licensing restrictions, and Glastonbury organizers always seem to prevail in making
sure the show goes on.
In addition to the music, there's also
theatre, circus, cabaret, community.
Glastonbury has named its full 2011 lineup!
There's supposedly a (not so secret) Radiohead show happening, so check back for video of the Radiohead gig.
Glastonbury tickets are no longer on sale.
