BBC Radio 4 broadcast: 17th to 19th June 2020
An abridged version of the official inside story of 50 years of the world's most iconic, most loved music festival, mixing testimony from its founder, Methodist-raised music-loving dairy-farmer, Michael Eavis, his daughter Emily, world-renowned artists and journalists.
Five decades of music, love, peace, drugs, and the rain, from a field of 500 people paying a pound a ticket in 1970, to today's Greatest Show on Earth, attended by 203,500, and with a global reach of twenty million, this is a glorious selection of first-hand accounts to tie in with Virtual Glastonbury.
Introduced by Lauren Laverne, each episode selects memories from one decade, read by Oliver Ford Davies, Louise Brealey, Gemma Whelan and Jamael Westman.
