Run by Michael Eavis (of Glastonbury Festival) for over ten years, Glastonbury Abbey Extravaganza is the new format for what used to be the "Classical Extravaganza".
Set in the grounds of Glastonbury Abbey, there have been many memorable performances. This unique event has grown in stature over the years and is already a high spot in the musical calendar of the South West. It's a real occasion, with fireworks, lights, candelabra and picnics.
Friday night will see the return of Van Morrison, and rising star Corinne Bailey Rae. Saturday night's concert features world famous Charles Hazlewood conducting the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra as they perform an anniversary Tchaikovsky programme which will culminate in a spectacular firework display and will feature the Aquatique Water Fountains from Strasbourg. Sunday has Ray Davies and Paolo Nutini.
Tickets are on sale, priced at £30 for the Friday, £28 for the Saturday, and £30 for the Sunday - click here to buy.
