Glastonbury, the renowned greenfield music festival, opened to 200,000 attendees on Wednesday, promising a star-studded lineup including Olivia Rodrigo, Neil Young, and Rod Stewart. The excitement was palpable as fans poured into Worthy Farm, eager to experience the diverse musical acts.
The 2025 festival, remarkable for selling out in just 35 minutes before announcing any headliners, highlights its popularity. A scheduled fallow year in 2026 reflects Glastonbury's commitment to reducing its environmental footprint, allowing Worthy Farm to recover.
