Written by admin on June 23, 2011 – 7:00 pm -| The Glastonbury Festival gets underway tomorrow at Worthy Farm in Somerset and festival goers have already arrived in their droves to find that a week of rain has turned the 900-acre site into a mud bath.
A total of 177,000 revellers are expected to attend the festival, which runs until Sunday night. |
