Music and mud: Glastonbury Festival 2011
Glastonbury, a festival held at Worthy Farm in England, has become Europe's
largest such gathering for music fans. Its five-day run ended Sunday, after
entertaining nearly 175,000 fans. Heavy rain and mud greeted the attendees,
who paid 195 pounds (about $310) for a basic ticket compared to the 1 pound
when the show began in 1970. The next festival will take place in 2013. -

Festival-goers dance to Jarvis Cocker and his band Pulp as the sunsets during
the third day of the Glastonbury Festival June 25, 2011. This year's festival
featured headline acts U2, Coldplay and Beyonce. Now in its fifth decade, the
event has grown from a humble gathering of 1,500 people on Michael Eavis's
Worthy dairy farm in 1970, each paying 1 pound and receiving free milk, to a
giant five-day celebration of music costing 195 pounds for a basic ticket.
