Glastonbury Festival 2019


The 2019 Glastonbury Festival of Contemporary Performing Arts took place between 26 and 30 June. The three headlining acts were Stormzy, The Killers and The Cure with Kylie Minogue performing in the iconic Legend's Slot.

New areas

New areas developed for the 2019 festival included "Glastonbury-on-Sea" which included a metal seaside with amusements and animatronics. Block9 in the South East corner of the site was expanded with the inclusion of a new venue and installation, IICON, described as "a pseudo-religious monument to the terrifying new realities emerging in our digital, data-driven, post-truth age".

2019 FIFA Women's World Cup Screening

Glastonbury Festival confirmed via their Twitter account that they would show the 2019 FIFA Women's World Cup quarter-final match between England and Norway on big screens at the West Holt's Stage, after a plea from England Women's player Georgia Stanway whose brother would be at the festival and would have no other way of watching the match. Kick-off was at 8 pm BST on 27 June and England won the game 3–0.

Tickets

General Admission Tickets for the festival cost £248 for the full weekend and sold out.

Weather

The weather was consistently dry and warm throughout the weekend, with temperatures rising throughout the week and peaking on the Saturday afternoon, before cooler conditions made their way in for Sunday.
