All set for Glastonbury, the festival of festivals

On Wednesday opened the Glastonbury Festival (UK), the event considered by many as the most important musical event of the year. More than 150,000 fans ignored the threat of rain and mud to hear U2 and Beyonce starting this Friday, the day they begin the proceedings. Five days of music where the most basic entry costs 195 pounds (about 219 euros) in its fifth decade, the event has grown from a modest festival attended by 1,500 people in Michael Eavis's farm in 1970 to be the king festivals, and not only in Europe.

Five days of music where the most basic entry costs 195 pounds (about 219 euros). Heavy rain, mud, tents and people in raincoats are the protagonists of this event, unlike the sunny last edition. Still, the rain does not matter, the spirit of the 'festival-goers' remains intact waiting for their idols.

Among the most anticipated are Coldplay, The Chemical Brothers, Morrissey, Beyonce and U2, who will act on Friday, fulfilling his promise to attend the festival as the could not do last year by a back injury from Bono.
