I went to Glastonbury for 20 years between 1997 and 2017, amazingly missing out on tickets just once (2005 looked shit anyway lol!)
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 1999…
My artefacts
My programme and mini-guide from Glastonbury 1999 (annoyingly I can’t locate my ticket stub or wrist band from this year)

VIDEO
Some great amateur footage from 1999. Hard to believe some of these folks are now in their 40s, 50s or older! What a time to be alive…
