By day, Glastonbury Festival is as you’d expect: A vast, bright and friendly festival with an eclectic combination of music, artistic performances, steaming food stalls and tie-dye-pushing shops. There’s a slow, chilled atmosphere and people of all ages, from babies in prams to silver-haired hippies, who mix across the site’s hundreds of acres.
By night, however, Glastonbury is a completely different beast. When the sun sets, costumes consist of bodiless baby heads and tattered rags. The music is overwhelmingly loud with a heavy, filthy bass lines.
What does Glastonbury mean to the people of the late night zones? The answers are varied (one man just screams) but all have the same theme: extremity.
