The last of the great old-school Glastonburys.
No voiceover. No talking heads. No presenter telling you how to feel. Just Glastonbury, as it was.
The year is 1993 — before the BBC arrived, before phone masts, biometric tickets and wall-to-wall coverage. A hundred thousand people in a Somerset field, completely unobserved, completely themselves.
A group of young film-makers captured the whole thing in rich, glorious Cinemascope: not the headline acts on the Pyramid Stage, but the real festival — the stone circle at sunrise, the rave tents and wandering performers, the parachute games and the Krishna food queues. The Verve in their very first festival appearance. Spiritualized spending their entire fee on a fireworks display. Porno For Pyros. The Orb. The Lemonheads.
For the 30th anniversary, the film has been rebuilt in 4K from the original camera materials. The cut is restored. Scenes are added. The frame is wider than most audiences have ever seen it. And in 2026 — a fallow year for the festival itself — it is once again the only way to stand in that field.
