Surpassing last year’s 87-minute record, this year more than 150,000 tickets sold out in 28 minutes
Glastonbury is a festival like no other. A unique feast of music, the five-day event at the 1,100-acre Pilton Farm plays host to a tented city in Somerset. Besides music from nearly every genre imaginable on over 100 stages, there are performing arts with cabaret, theatre, circus, children’s entertainment, poetry, healing, and much more. The 2015 edition will be held from June 24-28, and according to Western Daily Press, rumored performers include Fleetwood Mac, Depeche Mode, AC/DC, Diana Ross, Foals and Fatboy Slim.
Such is the hype around this festival that the tickets were sold out in less than 30 minutes. Emily Eavis, the daughter of the Glastonbury founder Michael Eavis and co-organiser of the festival, tweeted :
We have sold out, thank you to everyone for supporting us and i’m sorry to those of you who have missed out.

However, she also announced that there would be a re-sale sometime in spring.
Despite prices being hiked up by INR 1000, it seems the entire world wants to be there at Worthy Farm next year.
Glastonbury 2015 takes place from June 24 to June 28 with the line up yet to be announced.

The country can be divided into 2 camps today: those getting #glastonbury tickets & those quietly hoping for torrential rain next June…
