The craze of Glastonbury Festival is such that festival goers never mind spending a bulk amount of money for traveling and buying tickets. Even if it is predicted a heavy downpour, countless people will surely turn up and witness the music carnival. It is a five-day festival held near Pilton, Somerset in England. It is the largest Greenfield music and performing arts festival in the world.

One Festival You Need to Attend!!!
Glastonbury Festival is not only about newcomers, it has also hosted country stars and many legends of rock N roll. Some of the biggest names are the late James Brown and Johnny Cash. These legends have graced the festival with their electrifying performances.
