The Glastonbury Music Festival originated with a simple outdoor Led Zeppelin concert. At that time, the organizer, Michael Eavis, was so moved that he wanted to recreate the outdoor music festival experience in the Pilton, Somerset region. Now starting its fifth decade, the festival has grown to support more than just music and it has been held nearly every year since its inception. The Pilton, Somerset area has fully embraced it since that time with many volunteers contributing their efforts for transport, security and services each year to keep the costs down. As a result, some of the best acts in the world have called the Glastonbury Music Festival home. Here's why you should get involved with the event today: It's more than just the music While the Glastonbury Music Festival is perhaps the greatest calling card of the entire multi day event, it is important to note that the entertainment goes well beyond the world of music. While there, you can also enjoy a number of other performers such as comedians, dancers, and a number of cabaret and theatre acts. Pretty much every form of live entertainment that you can think of is represented at this event. No matter what you have an affinity for, you can find it here. It's a great way to contribute So maybe you don't want to volunteer all of your time to the behind the scenes workings of the events. Maybe that's too much pressure. You can still give back to a number of worthy causes just by going. With all the various ways to enjoy yourself while you are there, you can join the millions of individuals, who have helped raise money for good causes since the event's inception. (It is estimated that since the first in the early 70's, there has been more than seven digits in terms of onlookers. Currently, the event welcomes 150,000 guests.) It's your chance to see the best in the world If music is your thing, then you are in for a treat as the festival is more than about the world of pop music. While you will certainly see some contemporary greats perform, you will also get to enjoy more musical genre specific performers. Glastonbury hosts world, reggae, rock, dance, and hip hop among other types. Something to whet any music lover's appetite, in other words. It's a fun way to commune with nature With Glastonbury still being hosted outdoors at multiple stages, you have the opportunity to really enjoy a wide cross section of entertainment while communing with nature in true Woodstock fashion. The outdoor music festival has long been a favorite in the world of popular music, and today the best venue is the one at the Glastonbury Music Festival.
