We’ve done the number crunching and the stats behind the sheer quantity of entertainment available at Glastonbury Festival 2019 are simply staggering.
Having pulled apart the published running times and put them back together again we can tell you that if you put every piece of programmed music, comedy, circus, poetry, theatre, film, and debate back to back and tried to watch it all it would take you a staggering…
…quarter of a million minutes
(well, 249,984 anyway from the programme – but remember all the little pop-up shows that never get announced until they happen, so in reality it’s a lot more)
That’s…
4,070.4 hours
Or looked at in another way…
169.6 days
The equivalent of…
24.2 weeks
or about…
Five and a half months!
So if you were going to set yourself this mammoth challenge the first thing you’d be doing would be spending several days mesmerised by the interactive ‘Aqua Rhythm‘ fountains over in Glebeland from 8am on Wednesday.
As for music – well the first live show you’d be seeing is anybody’s guess, because it will be a Wednesday morning open mic slot on the Croissant Neuf Bandstand at 11am.
At the other end of the Glastonbury universe, almost six months later (with no sleep or breaks for food or the bathroom of course), the last man standing will be ‘DJ Badly‘ signing off from the 2019 show at Heds Party…wrapping up the festival as he closes the show at 7am on Monday morning.
In total over your marathon festival binge you’ll eventually see around…
