See the not-so-exciting part of attending the world's largest open air music and arts festival in London.

Heavy rains and thick mud pester the tens of thousands of music fans during this year's Glastonbury Music Festival in Worthy Farm, Somerset and it seems there's more than just enjoying live performances and art installations. Festival-goers struggle as they plough their belongings (and even their children) on wheelbarrows and rubber boots while they find shelter in tents set-up on 10 inches of mud. One festival-goer was quoted saying "the mud was too thick it was impossible to have a clean body once you step of of your tent. Hell, we practically spent the last two days covered in mud!" Nevertheless, the 3-day affair was a success, with live performances from some of the most celebrated music acts all over the globe.

Worldwide favorite, Radiohead, dazzled the crowd with a hefty 14-song set featuring their new songs from the album The King of Limbs and some memorable hits from their platinum record The Bends. Beyonce, Cee-Lo Green and Wu Tang Clan gave hip hop fans a lot to cheer about despite the horrid conditions, while indie acts the Fleet Foxes, Friendly Fires, TV on the Radio, and the Joy Formidable made hipsters stomp on their mud-ridden boots.Rock royalties Queen of the Stone Age, Red Hot Chili Peppers and U2 took care of the festivals biggest chunk of rock fans with impressive sets and chart-topping tunes.

The festival had a total of 800 plus acts who performed, with a crowd nearing 14,000 watching the event unfold on over 70 separate stages. With the audience count increasing year after year, the Glastonbury music festival attracts major corporations, concert promoters and advertisers all over the world .
