音樂節簡介/Festival Introduction

英國Glastonbury草地音樂節

創始於1970年嬉皮年代，至今已有45年的歷史，一般簡稱為Glastonbury Festival或Glasto，是目前世界最大的露天草地音樂節和表演藝術節，節目內容除了音樂之外，也同時有舞蹈、喜劇、詩歌、戲劇、馬戲、歌舞等各種表演藝術，音樂風格也相當多元，包含搖滾、民謠、舞曲…等，發展至今已成為每年有數十萬人前來朝聖的經典音樂藝術盛會。此外，它的入場門票更是世界級的搶手，如今年，即使演出名單尚未公佈，隨即創下25分鐘售出十三萬五千張門票的紀錄。每年Glastonbury音樂節為英國經濟帶來的貢獻超過一億英鎊，而音樂節的工作人員主要是志願者，整個音樂藝術節也始終保有嬉皮文化的精神。

今年，我們帶領Miss Ko、Peggy Hsu、Suming這三組符合英國Glastonbury音樂節舞台風格的優秀音樂團隊，代表台灣站上Glastonbury音樂節的舞台，讓台灣的原創音樂征服世界各地樂迷的耳朵。

Glastonbury Festival

Founded in the 1970’s and now its 45th years of history, the Glastonbury Festival, in short Glasto, is the largest greenfield music and performing arts festival in the world. Aside from a wide array of international musical groups and genres that perform at the festival, there are also a great variety of dance, comedy, theatre, and circus acts, attracting hundreds of thousands of festival goes each year. The ticket of the 2015 Glastonbury were sold out 135,000 within 25 minutes of going on sale, even when the acts were yet to be announced at that time. Each year Glastonbury is held, the festival contributes over one hundred million pounds to the British economy, yet the majority of staff within the festivals are volunteers, retaining the ethos of the hippie culture upon which the festival was found.

This year, we are bringing three artists including Miss Ko, Peggy Hsu, and Suming to the stage of Glastonbury, to represent Taiwan’s original music for the fans all over the world.
