Background:

Background: Glastonbury Festival is the largest greenfield music and performing arts festival in the world and a template for all the festivals that have come after it. The difference is that Glastonbury has all the best aspects of being at a Festival in one astonishing bundle.

It hasn't happened for a few years, but Glastonbury Festival once again sold out within 24 hours of going on sale.

All the tickets were snapped up for the event, which is set to celebrate its 40th anniversary next year.

In an interview for the official Glastonbury Festival website, organiser Michael Eavis has admitted that 'expectations are high' for next year's event. The festival chief and farmer is looking to trump the success of 2009 in June 2010 when Glastonbury celebrates its 40th anniversary.

“People are very interested in this 40 year thing,” said Eavis, “everywhere I go, people are asking about. The expectations are really high. So we have to deliver on that. We're trying to get the best headliners in the world.”

The usual suspects are likely to pop up on the rumour mill, especially after Radiohead, Coldplay and Muse all gave Worthy Farm a miss last summer.
