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 1994

Plans for the Festival were almost destroyed when a fire reduced the Pyramid Stage to ashes. A replacement stage was hastily erected, linked up to the Festival’s first wind turbine which supplied 150 kilowatts of power for the performances. Channel 4 broadcast the Festival live for the first time.
