A photograph taken during the daytime at Glastonbury Festival. The camera faces up towards a blue sky with dozens of colourful flags flying in the wind. The tops of two big top tents are visible, and beyond them are trees.

Glastonbury Festival of Contemporary Performing Arts 1993

Licensed attendance increased by 10,000 and advance tickets to Glastonbury sold out by mid-June. The Festival included the NME music stage, as well as circus, cabaret, jazz, cinema and 60 acres of green activities. With security increasingly becoming an issue, Michael Eavis decided a double fence would be required for the next Festival.
