Glastonbury Festival 2008


Glastonbury Festival 2008 - click to view full size

3,000 portaloo toilets on 400-acres of farm awaited approximately 134,000 people on their way to the Glastonbury Festival in 2008.

Essentials for one of the festival highlights of the year included wellington boots and a good supply of toilet rolls.

Headline acts for the main Pyramid Stage were Kings Of Leon, Jay-Z and The Verve with main support being offered by the likes of The Fratelis, Editors and Gossip on Friday; Amy Winehouse, The Raconteurs and Crowded House on the Saturday; and Leonard Chen, Goldfrapp and Neil Diamond on the Sunday.

Though Amy Winehouse was still pretty ill she made it to the festival and was chauffeured via helicopter into the festival before her appearance on Saturday night immediately before Jay-Z.

The Other Stage headlining acts were Panic At The Disco, Massive Attack and Groove Armada, with great support including The Enemy and We Are Scientists (Friday), Hot Chip, Elbow, Duffy, The Wombats and Black Kids (Saturday); and The Zutons, Pigeon Detectives, Mark Ronson & Scouting For Girls (Sunday)
