Glastonbury Festival 2011 Headliners Are 'Incredibly Impressive'

In 1981 Michael Eavis took complete control of every aspect of the event and renamed it Glastonbury Festival. It was run in conjunction with the Campaign For Nuclear Disarmament (CND) who received a �20,000 donation from Eavis to help their cause. A permanent Pyramid Stage was built which curiously doubled as a cow shelter and food store in the winter months. Around 18,000 people paid �8 to see acts including New Order, Ginger Baker, Hawkwind and Aswad in action.
