And so it begins. Over the next two days, over 200,000 people will descend on Worthy Farm in Somerset for the Glastonbury Festival. A month ago, weather reports were suggesting that this year would be the first in recent memory to present a classic washout event. A typical southwest English summertime with rain showers and footfall churning the dairy farm’s fields into rivers of squelching mud. At the time, the UK was dealing with one of its wettest years on record. Then suddenly, a week before it began the weather changed. Worthy Farm is in an area of England defined by its ancient grounds li...

After stints in odd jobs, the British photographer found his passion while attempting to teach football to American school children. Uninterested in learning soccer (as they called it), the Chicago school noticed his chemistry degree and handed him the keys to a camera development studio.

The festival had already grown to be a legendary par...

During Rina Sawayama‘s Glastonbury performance last weekend, she introduced her song “STFU!” by calling out Matthew Healy of The 1975. “Tonight, this goes out to a white man that watches Ghetto Gaggers and mocks Asian people on a podcast,” Sawayama said. “He also owns my masters. I’ve had enough!” Healy has recently come under fire for a guest appearance on The Adam Friedland Show in February in which he revealed that he liked to watch pornography where black women are degraded by white men and, during a discussion about the rapper Ice Spice, laughed as the hosts Adam Friedland and Nick Mullen...

London (AFP) - After Paul McCartney, the Glastonbury music festival on Friday again rolled back the years by announcing Elton John as its headline act next June to close out his final UK tour.

Prior to that, he will headline the closing Sunday slot at Glastonbury in southwest England on June 25...
