I went to Glastonbury for 20 years between 1997 and 2017, amazingly missing out on tickets just once (the rivers of mud festival in 2005!)
I’ve managed to piece together every programme, mini guide, ticket and mud-spattered wristband that’s been hidden away in boxes up in my attic for years (see them all here!) Sadly my addled old brain is incapable of piecing together enough memories to write a review for each year so here’s some great footage and photos I have found from Glastonbury 2010 – the 40th Anniversary of the festival and what a scorcher it was! This was the year Muse replaced U2 as Saturday night headliners due to Bono having a bad back (The Edge did however make an appearance during Muse’s set). Me and my mate had already seen Muse a few times by then so we opted for Midlake over on the Park Stage instead. Great decision – they were made for Glasto! Other highlights included Hot Chip, Groove Armada, Editors, The Stranglers, Faithless and the legendary Stevie Wonder who headlined on the Sunday night. The sun shone throughout the entire weekend – something of a rarity at Glasto!
