Glastonbury CND Festival 1985 was attended by 40,000 with tickets costing £16. The festival included performances by Echo & The Bunnymen, Aswad, Joe Cocker, Style Council, The Boomtown Rats.[1] and Ian Dury.[2] The festival had grown too large for Worthy Farm, but neighbouring Cockmill Farm was purchased.[3]

The Pyramid Stage in 1985. Due to heavy rainfall, a large area of mud covered this area.

This year saw a wet festival with considerable rain; Worthy Farm is a dairy farm and what washed down into the low areas was a mixture of mud and liquefied cow dung. This did not prevent festival goers from enjoying the knee-deep slurry in front of the Pyramid Stage.
