The size of the main festival site is the equivalent of more than 500 full-size football pitches

Until you've spent a day trekking from the Pyramid stage back to your Worthy View campsite, it's hard to grasp the size of Glastonbury Festival .

Across the site there are more than 100 stages, plenty of toilets, including more than 2,000 long drops, more than 1,300 compost loos and more than 700 metres of urinals. There are more than 100 bars and more than 500 food stalls. The official capacity of Glastonbury Festival is a huge 210,000 people. This is the equivalent of more than two full Wembley Stadium's worth of music fans.

However, there are a number of music festivals across the globe that lay claim to being larger in both size and/or attendance. These include Donauinselfest in Austria, Mawazine in Morocco and Montreal International Jazz Festival in Canada.
