Glastonbury Music Festival History
Glastonbury is located in Somerset, England. It started in September 1970 the day after Jimi Hendrix Died and lasted two days. Admission was just £1 and included free milk from the farm where the festival is held. The following year the festival was moved to the summer to coincide with the Summer Solstice. It was paid for by supporters who felt other festivals were becoming too commercial and admission was free.
