Before the 1984 festival even took place, Michael Eavis was took to court by Mendip District Council who accused him with five counts of disobeying the previous year's inaugural licence. Fortunately the charges were dismissed, but Eavis was forced to dig deep and spend �2,000 on a new licence. The 35,000 capacity crowd were treated to sets from The Waterboys, Elvis Costello, Ian Drury and an iconic performance from The Smiths.
