Glastonbury CND Festival 1981

Now named the Glastonbury CND Festival, Michael Eavis took control of the event to raise money for the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament. The second Pyramid Stage was built on the same spot as the 1971 structure, and served as a cowshed during the winter months. 18,000 people attended.
