1994

  • Festival is screened on national television for the first time

    Channel 4 airs the entire thing live.

  • Outside Cinema: Screen destroyed in Pyramid Stage fire on June 13th

    Replacement measures 56ft wide by 24ft high, at the time the biggest 35mm cinema screen in the country. Dolby Digital is also introduced with an upgraded sound system.

    Bad luck strikes one week before the festival. A replacement stage is used in 1994, 1995, 1997, 1998, and 1999.

Poster Quote

In the height of summer, at the time of solstice — moon-mad, sun-begotten — we acclaim the glory of life with ungrudging senses. —  Llewelyn Powys
