Frankly Mr Shankly Posted April 1, 2020 Report Share Posted April 1, 2020 1 minute ago, stuartbert two hats said: Shooting Nope. There was a shooting incident in 94, but no idea if that was the first (or only?) confirmed shooting at Glastonbury or not. Another clue: it could happen if you got shot. It's happened again at the festival a lot of times since. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frankly Mr Shankly Posted April 1, 2020 Report Share Posted April 1, 2020 2 minutes ago, Curlygirl said: First death? Correct. 94 was the first time Glastonbury was broadcast on TV & the first official death in the festival's history. I'll let you & @incident decide who does the next question since you both got one each... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

incident Posted April 1, 2020 Report Share Posted April 1, 2020 Ok, an easy one for anyone who's read the book: Why is the festival officially called the Glastonbury Festival of Contemporary Performing Arts? I want the specific reason here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just on a point of accuracy - The Waterboys also did this in 2007 throwing in a headline slot on Avalon Stage as well for good measure 😊 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
