What Is Glastonbury Festival?

The Glastonbury Festival is one of the most famous comprehensive music festivals in the UK and worldwide. It is usually held at the end of June every year and occasionally suspended due to the fallow year. The festival is mainly known for its diverse music genres, eclectic art exhibitions, and colourful activities, attracting participants worldwide.

The Origin and History of the Glastonbury Festival

The first Glastonbury Festival was founded by farmer Michael Eavis, inspired by the counterculture movement of the 1960s, imitating the Woodstock Festival in the United States. In the 1980s, it gradually became standardised, and its themes expanded to social issues such as environmental protection and peace. In the 1990s, the Glastonbury Festival became a mainstream cultural phenomenon, attracting British rock bands such as Radiohead, Blur, and Oasis.

However, in 2000, the Glastonbury Festival was suspended for one year due to safety issues until it returned in 2002. In recent years, in addition to music, the Glastonbury Festival has also added areas such as drama, comedy, poetry, and environmental workshops to emphasise a more perfect festival experience.

Why Is Glastonbury So Iconic?

The festival is held on 900 acres of Worthy Farm and includes dozens of stages and art areas. Here, you can enjoy a variety of music genres, such as rock, pop, and electronic music. Since its inception, Glastonbury has attracted global superstars such as David Bowie, Guns N' Roses, Jay-Z Beyoncé, Coldplay, and Billie Eilish. In addition, Glastonbury was inspired by the hippie movement and the spirit of peace and love and has been deeply rooted in counterculture and environmental awareness from the beginning.       

When Is the Glastonbury Festival 2025?

The Glastonbury Festival is usually held on the last weekend in June. The dates for the 2025 Glastonbury Festival have been confirmed as Wednesday, 25, to Sunday, June 29, 2025. In addition, the Glastonbury Festival usually takes a fallow year every five or six years to give the land a chance to regenerate. With the next fallow year scheduled for 2026, the next Glastonbury Festival will not occur until at least 2027.

Since its first event in 1970, the Glastonbury Festival has been held at the iconic location: the picturesque Worthy Farm in Pilton, Somerset. Worthy Farm is a dairy farm between the villages of Pilton and Pyle. From June 25 to 29, 2025, it will again be transformed into a bustling hub of creativity and musical magic.

Tips for Glastonbury Festival 2025

The 2025 Glastonbury Festival is one of the largest open-air music festivals in the world, so it is essential to be fully prepared before attending. Here are some tips based on your reminders to help you have a safe and enjoyable time:

Tip 1: Comprehensive Packing

The Glastonbury Festival lasts five days, so please be fully prepared when packing. If you choose to camp, please bring essential equipment such as a tent. In addition, there may be queues for charging stations on-site, so getting a portable power station (such as Jackery Explorer 100 Plus / 240 v2) is recommended.

Tip 2: Rehydrate in Time

There are free water supply stations on-site, and it is recommended that you bring a refillable water bottle of more than 1L to collect water. In addition, avoid excessive drinking and dehydration. You should drink a glass of water for every glass of wine. Observe yourself. If you have symptoms of dehydration (dizziness/yellow urine), you need to replenish water in time and drink electrolyte or coconut water.

Tip 3: Sun Protection and Protection

The 2025 Glastonbury Festival is an open-air venue, so wear high-factor sunscreen (SPF50+). Reapply sunscreen every 2 hours, especially on the neck and ears. Physical protection, such as wide-brimmed hats, UV-protective sunglasses, and light long-sleeved clothes with UPF sun protection materials, is also essential.

Tip 4: Don't Be Afraid to Ask for Help

If you encounter any complex problems at the festival venue, you can always ask for help from staff or volunteers wearing fluorescent vests or uniforms. If you experience harassment or theft, please get in touch with security immediately. In addition, medical tents (Red Cross logo) throughout the venue will provide free medical services to people.

Tip 5: Keep It Green

Support Glastonbury Festival's green initiative "Love the Farm, Leave No Trace". Then, try to share a car or take the official bus to the festival site. In addition to bringing your reusable tableware, water cups, and storage bags, remember to sort the garbage and put it in the designated bins.  

Jackery Portable Power Stations for Glastonbury Festival 

Glastonbury is a long festival, and keeping your devices charged can be challenging due to limited or no access to mains electricity. A Jackery Portable Power Station can power your electronics and devices, such as your phone, camera, flashlight, portable fan, portable speaker and more.

Festival charging stations can be crowded and may have long wait times. Having your power source gives you independence. A Jackery provides a reliable power source at your tent if you're camping.

Jackery Explorer 240 v2
