Music Festivals in the Countryside

Music Festivals in the Countryside

It is well known that some of the best music festivals in the world take place in the countryside. The most famous music event ever, Woodstock, took place on a dairy farm in 1969. Thousands gathered to enjoy the music and the event’s promotion of peace.

From there, countryside-based music festivals have gone from strength to strength. In the UK the most famous is Glastonbury, which usually takes place each year. Based on a Somerset farm, the event is not only a chance to enjoy some of the world’s best music, but an opportunity to get closer to nature and to enjoy an alternative lifestyle for a few days.
