History 1986

Again, this was a bigger Festival than the preceding year’s event. Due to the growth there were additions to the farm office, communications, welfare and medical teams. The Theatre and Childrens Areas moved to new homes, the first Classical music tent was introduced and the market areas relocated from the top of the site. £130,000 was raised for CND and local charities.

Acts included: The Cure, Madness, Simply Red, The Housemartins, The Waterboys, Pogues and Level 42.

Attendance: 60,000. Tickets: £17. Programme: £1.
