    At 2:13 when I say 'there are over 400 workers' , whilst this is technically true, the source I got my information from was referring to one segment, the actual number is close to 10,000!

      Hey, firstly, great video. First time I've seen anyone actually show what goes on behind the scenes. You did miss one significant part of the infrastructure which my company provide 70% of. And that is Showers for all the significant crew areas, 460 shower heads to be exact showering some 30,000 - 40,000 people per day. Getting all the infrastructure in place to make that happen alone is a year in the planning. Very close co-operation between Glsstonbury and my company Greentree Mobile Showers. Keep up tye good work, if you want to see more beyond the scenes at large festivals Hola.

      Yes I did see the clip they had over 100 workers on site providing power showers stalls bars kitchens day and night. It's good to open people's eyes that they are just fields before all the hard work unsung workforce all coming together so the festival can live

      @EverythingExplainedd Well if you want a proper look behind the scenes at some of the largest events in the UK and Ireland and what it takes to make it happen send me a Direct Message. I'll do my best to help, I think people would be really interested in you following say a staging Crew for a couple of events, a toilet company, shower company, cabin company, fencing company etc. There's at least a 20 min video in each area. Nobody in the public really knows or understands what it takes to make these things happen. Glastonbury is a beast but this happening in multiple sites up and down the country every weekend between May and September. Let me know if you want me to hook you up.

      The BBC send about 1000 personnel to Glastonbury every year and put them up in 4* hotels around the area. They call it the annual jolly. A good number if you can get it especially as the majority of the people that would watch that are already at the festival. Nobody should be paying for a tv licence for the Tory propaganda machine.

    I’m here because I know someone in his late fifties who used to work setting up the stage as a labourer…but has now given up because there’s to many jobsworths who want to think they are the boss and in charge and start to throw their weight around…on top of that to many of the managers want to treat the musicians like they are more superior to the everyday people who just put their hard work into building up the infrastructure, just for bullies to come along and go lame duck when they see a well known artist and start to idolise them…this is the problem with to many of us we feed the persons ego to much and help to turn them into monsters..remember the young mother and who she sacrificed to lost prophets front man Ian watkins a few years ago…I’m not saying don’t enjoy your favourite bands music…but why you need to put them on a pedestal??? they just human beings like all of us but just known for being entertainers..

    good video. I have worked in the live music industry for over 10 years. Another fun fact is that Glastonbury grew so quick in the late 90s that it strruggled to keep up with H&S and had a huge problem with security. They then hired Festival Republic (the guys that do Reading and Leeds, Wireless, Creamfields etc) to overhaul the operations of the festival and make it how it is now. Glastonbury then took back operations when the contract with FR ran out in 2012.

    the professional bin painters (around 10-12 I think) are on site from mid April, then the volunteers (80) from the start of June for 2 weeks(ish) also. approximately 14000 bins get painted, along with benches, poles and pedestrian gate murals, along with the large mural at the vodaphone charging arena. after that they get piled up ready to do all again next year, you can see the pile from satellite images. it also takes 26 days to recover.

      To be honest it should just be rebranded "The Hypocrisy Festival."
      It's attended by droves of wealthy, champagne socialists who this year managed to hang a banner that read "We see no borders here" from the perimeter defence that dwarfs the one at the US border.
      They chanted "Refugees are welcome here!" But presumably they don't mean the festival - as many Brits would struggle to pay for the ticket and take the time off work - let alone a refugee.
      When interviewed, it transpired that they didn't mean that refugees were welcome in their homes either - the majority citing lack of space.
      I suppose they just mean "put the filthy refugees with all the other dirty poors."
      I'd watch and cheer if the whole thing burned down - but that's the only scenario - from which I could derive a quantum of entertainment.

    I went in 1981, 1984 and 1985. For me, that first CND festival in 81 was the best. I reckon the crown was about 6,000 - 8,000. It was so laid back and only covered 2 fields. By 1985, I think the crowd was up to the 60,000 mark. That was it for me. Much too big to be a good festival and much too expensive. I've just seen a clip of the ready made tents for the middle class Glampers. Do me a favour. Plus in the 80's.the acts were announced early on so you could decide if you actually did want to see any of the acts. That 81 festival had Hawkwind, New Order, Aswad, John Cooper-Clarke. Gordon Giltrap and Roy Harper were no-shows.
