Glastonbury Festival, the world's premier music festival, is set to begin with over 200,000 attendees and acts like Coldplay, Dua Lipa, and Shania Twain headlining. The festival's 'Sunday Legends' slot, a prestigious set for seasoned artists, began officially in 1998 with Tony Bennett and has since featured iconic performances like Dolly Parton's 2014 medley. Local businesses like the Crown Inn in Pilton benefit from the festival's influx despite ongoing economic challenges. The BBC plans extensive coverage across TV and radio, reflecting on memorable past performances, including Elton John's highly-watched swansong last year. Photographer Liam Bailey, who has documented the festival since 1992, has released a book capturing three decades of Glastonbury's unique spirit. Despite logistical challenges and occasional controversies, the festival remains a beloved institution globally.
