Glastonbury 40 Years On: An Oasis Of Music, Magical Memories And Mud

The capacity in 1986 took a gargantuan leap to 60,000 festival-goers. Glastonbury benefited partly from the collapse of the nearby Stonehenge free festival which saw revellers look for an alternate place to convene. Due to its now impressive size, more stages were introduced to cope with the dozens of live acts, while a theatre and family area were also created. The festival was headlined by The Cure, Psychedelic Furs and Level 42 while Billy Bragg, Madness, The Housemartins and Loudon Wainwright III all augmented the bill.
