The 1993 festival. Unfiltered, unnarrated, and unlike anything else in British music film.
The year is 1993 — the last of the great old-school Glastonburys, before the BBC arrived, before phone masts, biometric tickets and wall-to-wall coverage.
A hundred thousand people in a Somerset field, completely unobserved, completely themselves. A group of young film-makers captured the whole thing in rich, glorious Cinemascope: not the headline acts on the Pyramid Stage, but the real festival — the stone circle at sunrise, the rave tents and wandering performers, the parachute games and the Krishna food queues. The Verve in their very first festival appearance. Spiritualized spending their entire fee on a fireworks display. Porno For Pyros. The Orb. The Lemonheads. The music, the magic, the midsummer madness. No voiceover. No talking heads. No presenter telling you how to feel. Just Glastonbury, as it was.
For the 30th anniversary, the film has been rebuilt in 4K from the original camera materials. The cut is restored. Scenes are added. The frame is wider than most audiences have ever seen it. And in 2026 — a fallow year for the festival itself — it is once again the only way to stand in that field.
The level of detail is astounding. In a big room, on a big screen, with the Dolby system turned up, it is a unique, time-machine journey into one of the best of the old-school Glastonburys. A dewy-eyed nostalgia trip for one generation, and a pin-sharp, eye-opening exploration for the next. If you were there, you’re in it. If you weren’t, you’ll wish you were.
The film became the first British production backed by the newly-formed National Lottery, and its original theatrical release in 1996 drew an audience who recognised something they knew would soon be changed forever. Thirty years on, it is a record not just of a festival but of a country that no longer exists in quite the same way.
