Glastonbury is a festival where many people visit from all over the world each year to get together and camp out under the stars after seeing many famous artists perform. Each year it gets bigger and better and Glastonbury 2010 is no different, it is going to be the biggest and best festival so far.

2010 is the 40th anniversary of the Glastonbury festival so they are going to celebrate it with style. Well known band pulp who split a few years back are getting together just in time for this event and you will be able to see their live performance along with other avid fans.

Not only does the festival show many bands that have made it to the top of the charts and into your CD collection, you will also find up and coming bands that have not been signed yet. Imagine being there, seeing them at their first big performance, the place they were discovered. See the raw talent before the TV appearances and have the honour of becoming one of their first fans.

The popularity of the festival has meant that as soon as the tickets went on sale, within hours they were gone, and people even camped outside the places they were being sold to be among the first to hold this privilege. Some people who unfortunately are unable to make next years festivities have had to cancel but that is good news for those who have not yet got their tickets as they will be on sale again at the start of 2010.

If you have been to other festivals and are going to Glastonbury this year you will feel that the others are nothing in comparison. Stages are all around the area meaning that no matter your tastes in entertainment you are bound to find something to occupy you throughout your stay. All the stages mean that even if the one you are near to is not what you are into you only need to take a stroll to one of the other events to get you into the mood.

The stage that is the most popular is called the pyramid stage. The reason for this is that this is the one where the people who have made their name and fame perform along with the unsigned act that wins the opportunity to play on this well known stage. Definitely venture to the other attractions though, as you do not want to like others, leave it till the last day and feel you have not enjoyed the festival in its entirety.

It’s all about getting together with the people who have the same things as you in mind, not only an event for those who are in their teens and early twenties, whole families go and enjoy the experience, from tiny babies up to pensioners.

If you do not want to be at one with nature and want to visit but don’t want to camp out there are many other accommodation options, however you should make sure that you pre book as this is one of the busiest times of year so you will find that the places go pretty quick, just like the festival tickets.

There is also a film tent which is great for both young and old alike, and the best thing about it is that they also show 3D films so you can be part of the action without even leaving your seat. It is the mornings that you will usually find viewing for younger people then in the evenings you will find both films and documentaries so there is bound to be something for everyone.

Going to festivals is always a great experience. If you do not know this, going to festivals in other countries is even more fun, so you may want to make sure that you are at Glastonbury 2010, so check out the Glastonbury Lineup.
