pre-order now!

By Scott Johnson | Published:

Getting withdrawal symptoms from no Glastonbury this year? Although it's not quite the same thing, there may well be answer...

Available to buy on 2-disc DVD format from July 17th is 'Glastonbury', a film by critically acclaimed director Julian Temple (Absolute Beginners, The Filth & The Fury).

picture text The film is a tribute to the festival and is packed with footage following the founder of Glastonbury festival, Michael Eavis, who conceived this documentary in 2002. He was concerned that the festival might never again enjoy the success from previous years due to problems with licensing and security, and saw this as a possible last chance to record the events of the last 30 years.

The film makers appealed to anybody with footage of the festival to come forward and contribute. Over 700 hours of film were supplied, both amateur and professional, shot over the 35 year history of the festival.

'Glastonbury' combines personal archive footage from festival-goers with live performances from some of the legendary acts to grace Glastonbury through the years.

The special features on the DVD include an interactive shuffle track feature that allows you to select all your favourite acts and performances, and revel in exclusive DVD footage of uncut performances including those by The Kaiser Chiefs, Fun Lovin’ Criminals, REM, Goldfrapp, and more.

There is also an exclusive commentary by Jarvis Cocker and director Julien Temple.

Other special features on the DVD include never-before-seen uncut tracks from over 10 acts, interviews with Michael Eavis, festival goers and celebrity fans including James Brown, Noel Gallagher and the late John Peel. There is also deleted sequences and an innovative interactive shuffle track function, allowing you to re-edit the feature film.

You can pre-order 'Glastonbury' from Amazon for just £11.97 (RRP £19.99) by clicking below...
