Now into its fifth year, Glastonbudget, as the name suggests, is a budget weekend music festival not to be missed in Leicestershire, that rivals any of the bigger festivals in true tribute style yes Tribute style meaning tribute bands. It all started in 2005, when we gathered 18 of the top tribute bands from around Europe and put together one hell of a weekend. Since then it has grown and grown and is now the biggest and best tribute and new music festival in Europe. This year we are hoping it will be even bigger still.
It now also includes over 100 new acts from not only the UK but around the world. And a wide range of alternative entertainment. All in all it makes for a cracking weekend!
In true Glastonbury style the weather did not let us down last year and the rain macs and wellies were to be seen in abundance but hey! this only added to a fantastic time that was had by all.
From the the burgers to the bands everything was tip top.
Many people commented on how well it was organised, how much of a friendly, community atmosphere was created and how near total strangers became part of the most friendly music loving festival that people had ever witnessed.
One of the biggest things for us is to make sure that we are rip-off free i.e. tickets, beer, food plus the availability of services i.e. queues to toilets, foodstalls.
So onwards to GB 09! And we hope to see you there on 22nd, 23rd & 24th May.
