Hey,

i searched for glasto threads but nothing seems to come up really, i was just wondering if anyone had been glastonbury and what sort of ages to expect? ive been leeds twice now which is quite a young audience and im going glastonbury next year for the first time, and i've heard its mostly middle aged but im hoping theres quite a few late teens - is there? hahaa thanks

A few times? I have been working every year since 2007.

Glastonbury isn't like any other UK music festival. There is no fixed demographic for the festival whereas reading and leeds is quite popular for the post GCSE 16-25 crowd.

You can expect the age range to vary from 18-50 all with different interests from the true hippies that walk around bare feet and tell you how they don't use paper money as it is terrible for the environment (yes that has happened) to the parents of young children who have only come along to watch one act but have stayed for the weekend.

The whole ethos of the festival is that there is suppose to be something for everyone and the layout of the site with no isolated arena or camping areas makes the festival seem constantly alive.

The main age group is 21+ and the problems which you could normally associate with Leeds aren't nearly as abundant at Glastonbury.
