17.Glastonbury Festival,one of the pioneer festivals,is famous not only for its amazing bands,but also for its wonderful performances in many fields surrounding (围绕) the stages.It attracts over 130,000people every year,who join in the three-day party to celebrate the summer solstice,the longest day of the year.
Glastonbury Festival has been held on Worthy Farm in Somerset since 1970.This year,all sorts of singers and bands were there,from the likes of Beyoncé,Jessie J,to my favorite-Paolo Nutini,who I really wish I could have met!
We drove straight in to one of the muddiest (泥泞的) Glastonbury Festivals ever!We came to our camp site,carrying enough clothes for a weekend of extreme weather conditions,and spent an hour or so putting up the tent.On the second day it began to rain and didn't stop for the rest of the day.We sat in the tent waiting for it to stop,and after several hours we realized that it wouldn't.When the need for food became too strong we put on boots and raincoats and made our way across many muddy fields.
There is something for everyone at the festival-my favourite place is the Circus Field,which is full of interactive (互动的) performances.Also,I love the Kidz Field,where famous CBBC stars perform,and where you can get your face painted then run around on a climbing frame (框架) with dragons.
