There is not enough space to list the many exciting moments that have happened at Glastonbury through the years. However, one thing is sure; if you are going to the festival, you will need to camp. This means carrying a load of camping gear to make it comfortable, and this is where you’ll need to have a decent trailer for towing it all. Luckily Trailer Parts from autoandtrailer.com/shop/trailer-parts can help with that.
- Marc Bolan headlines the first-ever Pilton Pop Festival. Yet to find massive success as a glam rocker, Bolan took the stage with his original band Tyrannosaurus Rex. He basically played for free until the organiser, Michael Eavis, was able to sell a cow some months later and pay him.
- Jarvis Cocker was so moved by Pulp’s appearance in 1995 that he was unsure if he could ever top the experience. Replacing the Stone Roses and Pulp was a late addition but stepped up wonderfully as they performed Common People, as Jarvis put it, in the “Middle of the Year in the Middle of the decade”, he pondered what to do next artistically.
- Jay-Z’s appearance. Glasto has always been an indie and rock kind of affair, but the introduction of the USA rapper was a surprise. Working out brilliantly, its led the way for Stormzy, Megan Thee Stallion and a marvellous set from Kendrick Lamarr
- In 1994, the event was in doubt when the Pyramid stage was burnt down. There were many conspiracies, but a replacement was soon found. CND continues to sponsor the event.
