Edith Bowman narrates this affectionate, witty A-Z of Pyramid Stage headliner action.

With a week to go before Glastonbury 2019, Edith Bowman narrates this affectionate, witty A-Z of 25 years’ worth of Pyramid Stage headliner action since TV cameras first came to Pilton in 1994.

With a week to go before Glastonbury 2019 and after a fallow year at Worthy Farm, Edith Bowman narrates this affectionate but witty A-Z of 25 years’ worth of Pyramid Stage headliner action since television cameras first came to Pilton in 1994.

Tracking the festival’s emergence as a global stage featuring the biggest names in popular music across a variety of genres this retrospective celebration blends archive clips and backstage testimony alongside new interviews with the likes of Damon Albarn, Liam Gallagher, Skunk Anansie’s Skin, Chemical Brothers, Jarvis Cocker and the Eavis family.
