Liz has been a devoted attendee of the Glastonbury music festival for almost a decade now. It all started in 2011, when she first went and was captivated by the electrifying performance of Queen's "Under Pressure" by the late Taylor Hawkins and Dave Grohl. The Foo Fighters were headlining that year, after having to pull out two years prior due to their lead singer's injury. The moment when Dave and Taylor swapped places on stage was a spine-tingling experience that Liz will never forget.
This year will mark Liz's 8th Glastonbury festival, as she celebrates her 75th birthday. She has witnessed some incredible moments over the years, from Beyoncé's iconic performance while secretly pregnant in 2011, to Dolly Parton's appearance in 2014, and Metallica's unforgettable show that same year. Liz's love of music was put on hold for a while as she focused on her family and career, but it was rekindled when her son introduced her to rock and indie music in her mid-50s.
The atmosphere of the festival is like no other for Liz. She has always been a fan of live music, having grown up in the 60s and attending concerts with her dad. But as she started a family and pursued her career, her love for music had to take a backseat. It wasn't until her mid-50s that she had the opportunity to attend gigs again, often going alone or with friends. Her love for music eventually led her to her first Glastonbury festival in 2011, where she was introduced to the world of festival camping.
Since then, Liz has tried to attend Glastonbury every year, with a few exceptions. She fondly recalls some of her favorite performances, such as U2 in 2011 and Beyoncé in 2013. Despite the challenges of getting older, Liz still manages to have a great time at Glastonbury, armed with her folding chair and essential items like sun cream and good walking boots. She is looking forward to this year's festival, where she will be seeing LCD Soundsystem and Shania Twain, and hopefully discovering some new bands.
Liz attends Glastonbury with a group of friends, but sadly two of them have passed away. She feels proud to still be able to enjoy the festival at her age and cherishes the special moments she gets to experience with her friends. For Liz, Glastonbury is about the atmosphere and being able to share the experience with good friends. She feels lucky to have been able to attend the festival for so many years and looks forward to many more to come.
