The festival is hosted and organized by local farmer [[Michael Eavis]]. It is a widely known festival with many big and popular bands playing there every year. == Controversy == In Glastonbury 2009, there was a great deal of [[controversy]] when [[Jay-Z]] was asked to headline the festival. The most infamous response to this was when [[Noel Gallagher]] from [[Oasis (band)|Oasis]] said that Glastonbury should only be for [[rock music]]ians. {{UK music|state=collapsed}} {{Historic rock festival}} {{UK-stub}} [[Category:1970 establishments in England]] [[Category:Music festivals in England]] [[Category:Somerset]]
