Glastonbury: how did the hippies go mainstream?
The shindig on a farm that became the most famous festival in the world.
There are loads of music festivals these days. But the one that still stands out, that is special somehow, is Glastonbury. What started as a party on a farm for 1500 revellers nearly half a century ago has become the most iconic festival in the world, attended by 200 thousand people. How did that happen? And can the spirit of community and environmentalism the festival espouses teach us lessons for the modern world? 麻豆社 Entertainment Correspondent Colin Paterson and a host of voices from the festival join us.
And you can listen to Radio Glastonbury on the 麻豆社 Sounds app across the weekend.
