From £1 tickets to super fences and hip-hop - Glastonbury through the years

Since its £1 ticket beginnings in 1970, Glastonbury Festival has grown into a global phenomenon, showcasing big names in music. Evolving from free entry to £280 tickets, the festival has seen significant changes like the introduction of iconic stages, hip-hop headliners like Jay-Z, and a "super fence" to deter gatecrashers. Celebrating its return in 2022 after the Covid-19 hiatus, featuring Billie Eilish and Sir Paul McCartney, Glastonbury continues to make history ahead of its upcoming 2025 edition with headliners like The 1975, Neil Young, and Olivia Rodrigo.
