What is Glastonbury Festival?

Glastonbury is a huge, five-day music and performing arts festival held in Somerset, England. It's famous for its diverse lineup, including major headliners like Harry Styles might be, and its unique atmosphere. The festival takes a 'fallow year' every five years to let the land recover, but 2027 isn't one of them.
