The 2000 Glastonbury Festival wants your vote 6 January 2000 Organizers of England’s premier summer musical event, the Glastonbury Festival, for the first time are inviting the public to vote on which artists they’d like to see perform. One vote per person, of course. Martin Elbourne, talent booker for the festival, told NME that so far no acts are confirmed. But NME reports a rumor that headliners this year will be David Bowie, Oasis, and Radiohead. The 2000 Glastonbury Festival, expected to draw upwards of 100,000 concertgoers, takes place 23 - 25 June. For Michael Eavis, who co-founded the festival with his wife in 1970, it will be the second festival without her. She died of cancer in May of last year. Last June Eavis told the BBC “Now I’ve lost my lovely wife, I think I don’t really fancy retiring at the moment, I think I’ll carry on a lot longer now. It’s a more important part of my life than it was before, really... You should see the letters we get. It’s unbelievable how important it is to people’s lives. It’s very dramatic stuff.” | NME story | | Glastonbury voting | | top of page | |
