What's your idea of a good time? What about dancing in a rainy field with one hundred and fifty
thousand other people? A famous rock band plays on a stage so far away that the performers look
very small.
It may sound strange but that is what many hundreds of thousands of young people in the UK
do every summer. Why? Because summer is the time for outdoor music festivals.
Held on a farm, the Glastonbury Festival is the most well-known and popular in the UK. It began
in 1970 and one thousand five hundred people took part in it, each paying ￡1－ free milk from the
farm in the ticket. Since then more and more people came for the festival － in 2004 one hundred
and fifty thousand fans came, paying ￡112 for tickets to the three-day event. Tickets for the event
sold out in three hours. There were many superstars in it.
Glastonbury is a charity event, donating millions of pounds to English and international charities.
