Glastonbury Festival Ranks Low in Global Festival Search Rankings
The top festivals in the world have been ranked, and Glastonbury Festival has surprisingly landed just in the top ten. This annual five-day event held at Worthy Farm in Somerset since 1970 has seen some of the biggest music artists perform, including legends like David Bowie, Dolly Parton, Elton John, The Rolling Stones, and Stevie Wonder.
Despite the festival’s popularity, securing tickets is incredibly difficult. Tickets for the 2024 festival were priced at £355 per person plus a £5 booking fee, with the initial sale taking place in November. The recent resale event saw all remaining tickets sell out in just 18 minutes, highlighting the immense demand for this UK-based festival.

The festival, known for its diverse lineup and cultural significance, continues to draw crowds from around the world.
Olivia King from NoDeposit365.com emphasized the importance of festivals in bringing communities together and celebrating cultural identities. Festivals serve as a place of acceptance and fun, allowing people to express themselves freely and connect with others.
