LONDON, June 22 — More than 200,000 music fans and megastars Paul McCartney, Billie Eilish and Kendrick Lamar descend on the English countryside this week as Glastonbury Festival returns after a three-year hiatus.
Planned walk-outs by train staff, including on Thursday and Saturday, threaten disruption for those heading to the remote site. Other big-name performers on the bill are soul legend Diana Ross, Led Zeppelin frontman Robert Plant, New Zealand singer-songwriter Lorde and electro-pop duo Pet Shop Boys. A virtual event was held last year, with Coldplay performing from the site, but it was marred by technical issues.
The festival has had its darker moments, with 235 people arrested in 1990 after travellers started fighting with police.
