Glastonbury Festival

Glastonbury Festival is a performing arts festival which takes place in Pilton, near Glastonbury, Somerset, in South West England. The inaugural festival was held in 1970 and it has taken place most years since. Notable headliners include David Bowie, Elvis Costello, Foo Fighters, Oasis and R.E.M..

The festival originated out of the liberal so-called 'hippie' counterculture of the late 1960s and early 1970s. The festival has come under fire for its politicized nature. Many left-wing and globalist speakers have preached at the festival, including Jeremy Corbyn in 2017 and Greta Thunberg in 2022, with some performing artists using the festival for leftist virtue signalling.

History

2016

In an act of woke segregation, Glastonbury introduced a 'Women and Queer-Only' stage at their 2016 event.

2017

Liberal Hollywood actor Johnny Depp made an appearance at the festival, during which he implied he would murder conservative US President Donald Trump, which was met by cheers from leftists in the crowd.

2023

Leo Kearse of GB News called out the brazen hypocrisy of liberal festival-goers at the 2023 event, who called for 'open borders', with the performing band The Young Fathers leading a chant of 'refugees are welcome here', while attending the festival which was surrounded by a 5 mile-long security fence, complete with a concentration camp-style watchtower, to prevent illegal entry.

At 76, Sir Elton John played his final UK performance at the festival. His performance on Saturday June 25 was the most watched act in the festival's history, with over 7.6 million TV viewers on BBC One.
