Photos from Glastonbury 2009

Like any proper music festival, Glastonbury 2009 was marked by rain and lightening, mud and musicians.
The Boston Globe posted a compilation of images from Glastonbury, which ran from June 24 to 28 in the England countryside.
The pictures are much better than simple YouTube footage. The still images of muddy revelers and musicians galore do a wonderful job of placing you at the open-air event, even if you can’t hear a note. See the pictures here.
As usual, the festival featured the biggest names in music. Headliners included the old (Bruce Springsteen, Neil Young), the young (Lady Gaga, Seattle's own Fleet Foxes) and the restless (a reunited Blur).
The festival is owned and operated by a dairy farmer, Michael Eavis, who uses his property to host what has become one of the year's biggest shows. The festival is such a huge deal that Time magazine named Eavis one of 2009’s most influential people, with Coldplay frontman Chris Martin writing the piece.
