In 1971, Michael Eavis opened the gates of Worthy Farm for the very first Glastonbury Festival, following the success of his Pilton Festival the year before. Coinciding with the summer solstice, performers included David Bowie, Fairport Convention and Hawkwind. From the Hulton Archive’s Keystone collection, Ian Tyas’ images show that while things have grown the last 46 years, the fundamental elements of the world’s greatest music festival were always there. | 📷: Ian Tyas #HultonArchive #tbt
