Magical pop-up city

How does Glastonbury differ from other festivals you have played at?
Glastonbury Festival is a phenomenon.

No single person knows about everything that's there. It is a city that once a year emerges from the consciousness of hundreds of people, wonderful things happen, and then it vanishes back into the ground.

In the same way for bands, the festival is what you make it as well. You can’t just turn up and play, you have to stay there – and not just because of the huge logistics involved in actually getting you, your band and your gear on site.

And you definitely can’t just play where you intended to play, there are so many opportunities around the festival to just keep performing, on public stages or backstage. Glastonbury is such a large and special gathering of people that when you play you can’t help but feel, in your own way, a little part of that history.
