GLASTONBURY

THE MUD. THE MUSIC. THE MAYHEM.
THIS YEAR, EXPERIENCE IT ALL ON DVD

Live the ultimate festival experience in the comfort of your own home this summer as GLASTONBURY headlines on 2-disc DVD on July 17th 2006 from Pathé Distribution Ltd. Create your own dream Glastonbury festival line up with an amazing 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, R.E.M, Goldfrapp and many more! A host of additional special features including an exclusive commentary by Jarvis Cocker and director Julien Temple ensures without a shadow of a doubt, GLASTONBURY on DVD is this year’s only substitute for the real thing!

GLASTONBURY is a true tribute to the iconic event at Worthy Farm in Somerset that has rocked the world and changed the face of music festivals, as we know them, forever. With footage following the founder of the Glastonbury festival, Michael Eavis, this phenomenal documentary was conceived by him in 2002. Concerned that the festival might never again enjoy the success from previous years due to problems with licensing and security, Eavis saw this as a possible last chance to record the events of the last 30 years. Enlisting critically acclaimed director Julian Temple (Absolute Beginners, The Filth & The Fury) they 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, with the result skilfully chronicling the evolution of the longest running music festival in the world! Personal archive footage from festival-goers is stunningly interwoven with stirring performances from some of the world’s best loved musical acts including the legendary Morrissey and David Bowie to the more contemporary Coldplay, Faithless and Bjork.

The 2-disc DVD introduces exclusive special features including 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. Deleted sequences and the innovative interactive shuffle track function, allowing you to re-edit the feature film, complete the package as precious memories and incomparable performances combine to make GLASTONBUTY the must have DVD of the summer.
