    Glastonbury

    Glastonbury, Somerset, UK

    Glastonbury is the largest music festival in the UK, drawing over 200,000 fans across more than 100 stages. Tickets are famously hard to come by.

    This year the glitzy Pyramid Stage was impressive and the line up is often top secret until very close to the date, but this is the one to try if you want the big names.

    Down side, England doesn’t always hit the high notes when it come to the weather, so be prepared to take wet weather gear and be prepared to make the most of what you get!
