25th June 2003 - 13:29
The Glastonbury Festival has opened its gates to the public, after organiser Michael Eavis called it the event’s “make or break” festival.
More than 15,000 people had already set up camp at the festival, held on Mr Eavis’s dairy farm near the Somerset village of Pilton, by Wednesday afternoon.
Over 150,000 people – including artists and staff – will be on site when it starts on Friday, when REM are due to headline its main stage.
The festival’s 112,000 tickets sold out in only 18 hours, a record for the festival.
