Have you ever been to a music festival? Well if you live in the UK, the answer is probably yes. The number of festivals has grown greatly over the last few years and now there are around 200 every summer. So let's look at the history of four famous festivals.
The Glastonbury Festival is a fiveday festival of contemporary (当代的) performing arts held most years in Somerset, in the southwest of England. There are a rock and pop stage, a jazz stage, an Avalon stage, a theatre comedy stage, a cinema tent, a dance tent and a circus (马戏团). The festival started in 1970 and about 120,000 people go to it every summer.
The Reading Festival is truly worldclass with rock and pop bands (乐队) appearing from all over the world, particularly (尤其) the USA. About 80,000 music fans go to Reading every August Bank Holiday. The festival first came to its present site on the banks of the River Thames in Reading in 1971, when it moved from Plumpton in Sussex. It is still on the same site over 47 years later!
WOMAD stands for World of Music, Arts and Dance and was the idea of rock musician Peter Gabriel to promote world music. The WOMAD Festival started in 1982 and takes place in July at Charlton Park, near Malmesbury in Wiltshire, and you can see different bands and musicians from all over the world. The festival welcomes over 26,000 visitors each year.
The Monsters of Rock Festival at the National Bowl in Milton Keynes was first held in 1980 and gave visitors the chance to hear the very best of hard rock and heavy metal. There were no festivals between 1996 and 2003 as a result of changing musical fashions, but now it has returned and grown into a twoday festival with a campsite for the 30,000 people who go there in summer days.
