The Housemartins - Glastonbury

(Soundboard)

22 June 1986 - Glastonbury Festival - Pilton, Shepton Mallet, England



Again,as we can see from the lineup, this was a bigger Festival than the preceding year’s event. Due to the growth in audience numbers there were additions to the farm office, communications, welfare and medical teams. The Theatre and Children's Areas moved to new homes, the first Classical music tent was introduced and the market areas relocated from the top of the site. £130,000 was raised for CND and local charities. 60,000 attended . The weather was generally much kinder than in 1985. although one correspondent remembers it raining on the Friday during the Psychedelic Furs set. "Bishbosh's "memoirs of the festival below indicate just how easy it was to obtain hallucinogens at the festival and that for many the music was just incidental to the overall experience of the festival itself.
