GLASTO 2010

It's less than a week to go until the daddy of the summer music festivals begins - Glastonbury. The little town of Pilton, Somerset gets mobbed by literally thousands of music fans and their tents. The Glastonbury festival was founded by Michael Eavis in 1970 the day after Jimi Hendrix died. The acts then were Marc Bolan, Keith Christmas, Stackridge, Al Stewart and Quintessance. And wait for this.. tickets were £1 and included free milk from the farm!. By 2009, attendances reached well over 135,000 with ticket prices running to hundreds of pounds. Anyone who is anyone has appeared there and there are plenty of acts who have had their musical careers either kickstarted or rejuvenated there. So, for the happy campers out there, here's the full stage list for this year's Glasto festival....
