The Glastonbury Music Festival

By: Adalyn Xiao

The Glastonbury Festival is one of the biggest music festivals in the world! It is being held this year at Worthy Farm, in Southwest England from June 26-June 30.


About 200,000 very lucky people will be heading to the Glastonbury Festival. Glastonbury always has three big headliners, with a huge performance on the main stage at the end of each day. This year’s headliners are Coldplay, Dua Lipa and SZA.


There are also pop musicians like Olivia Dean, Anne-Marie and Camilla Cabello, bands including Jungle, Bombay Bicycle Club and Two Door Cinema Club, and other big names include Little Simz, Cyndi Lauper, LCD Soundsystem and Arlo Parks.


Along with music at Glastonbury, there’s all sorts of other performances, classes, experiences, and things to do. There’s a huge kids section too, with music lessons, a big climbing wall and lots of craft activities. Another thing to see are all the flags, in person or on TV. People bring flags of whatever country they’re from. Some people also bring personalized flags to try to spot their friends in the crowd, this includes football club flags and pride flags.


The musicians designed temporary tattoos to raise awareness for the water charity, Water Aid. The tattoos will be handed out at water points, like restrooms around the festival. Water Aid will help people get clean water when there isn’t enough.


The Glastonbury Festival is an extremely exciting experience, filled with music, performances, classes, activities, and experiences. It is a one-of-a-kind experience, if you’re fortunate enough to go.
