UK summer music festival

Held on a farm, the Glastonbury Festival is the most well-known and popular festival in the UK. It began in 1970 and was attended by one thousand five hundred people each paying an admission price of £1 – the ticket included free milk from the farm. Since then the Glastonbury Festival has gone from strength to strength – in 2004 one hundred and fifty thousand fans attended, paying £112 for tickets to the three-day event. Glastonbury is not unique in using live music to raise money for global poverty. In July of this year, the Live 8 concerts will be held simultaneously in London, Paris, Rome and Berlin. Superstars, such as Madonna, Sir Elton John and Stevie Wonder will perform in order to highlight international poverty and debt.

Are you a music-lover between the ages of fourteen and eighteen? Would you like to go to a festival with friends of the same age as you? Then this music festival is for you! For most music festivals, you have to be eighteen before you can go without an adult, but the Underage Festival is different. You must be between fourteen and eighteen.

The Underage Festival is a day of music and fun for teenagers. It takes place in Victoria Park, London, in August. It’s a one-day festival - it starts at 11.30 a.m. and the music goes on until 8 p.m.

Sam Kilcoyne is the main organizer of the festival. He started the Underage Festival in 2007 when he was only fifteen years old. It’s a small festival with 10,000 people but the best thing about it is that there are no adults! Parents can wait for their children outside the gate, but they can’t come in to the festival.

But parents don't need to worry! The organization is great and it's a safe and peaceful festival. You can’t bring food or drink into the festival, but there are lots of restaurant tents with a variety of food and drink - from pizzas to burgers and Chinese to Mexican. We recommend the pizza tent. On the festival website, there's a page for parents with all the information they need.

There's a big variety of music, everything from indie to hip hop, electronic to heavy metal. There’s even a silent disco where everyone wears headphones. There are six stages. The main stage is outside and the other five are in huge tents. Sometimes, it feels a little crowded in the tents, but the big names usually play on the main stage. Sometimes it’s difficult to choose which band to watch because they only play for thirty minutes. But in general, the music is fantastic and the teenagers are happy.

Question: Why is it difficult to choose which band to watch?

A.  There are six stages.

B. The bands only play for a short time.
