Glastonbury Festival of Contemporary Performing Arts - England

Today, I am going to talk about Glastonbury festival. If anyone who loves music, they will love this festival. I like music also. If your ordinary life is bored, then I recommend to go to Glastonbury festival. However, I want to go there unless I am not boring. It is one of the best music festivals in the world. Anyway, let's go to deeply about Glastonbury festival.
In 1970 September 19th, a farmer who loves music so much held a music festival. It was after Jimi Hendrix who is concerned about the best guitarist in 20C dead. The farmer, Michael Eavis invited musicians to his farm and held a festival. And this festival keeps going so far. It gathered numerous people and huge musicians. Despite the farm is sank by rain, and the public facilities are weak, the people do not stop to go to Glastonbury festival. Glastonbury festival is a culture or history. Not only that, also Glastonbury shows the culture of the public among the people.
Not all people like this festival. Dwellers believed legend that Glastonbury was the resting place of King Arthur and Joseph brought Jesus' calyx. So they have holy proud and try to keep the holiness of their area. Like this, in Glastonbury festival, there are two groups of people which enjoy the festival and refuse the festival. 
Just the line Up is fantastic. You can see the cream of the crop of England musician. There are several stages for each theme. They are located far away to protect to mixed music. To go to other stage is so far and the mud field makes me more tired. Although the festival is in these unfavorable conditions, many people come here. If you travel England in June, it will be good experience to go to the festival. At each stage, not only sing, but also circus, drama, comedy, dance, cabaret and etc, various stuffs are ready. 




I am not good at English. So If you find something wrong or wrong grammar or something, leave comment. 
Thank You
