The Glastonbury CND festival
CND's relationship with the Glastonbury Festival spans 40 years.

In 1981, a well-attended Mid-Somerset CND meeting convinced Michael and Jane Eavis of Worthy Farm they could help CND by holding their music festival as a benefit to raise money for the campaign.

For much of the 1980s, Britain's flagship music festival was dubbed the Glastonbury CND Festival. It hosted some of the biggest names of the era, including New Order, the Cure, Curtis Mayfield, UB40, and the Smiths.

At every festival since then, CND has made the pilgrimage to Somerset to popularise the case against nuclear weapons.

Your memories

2020 is the 50th anniversary of the year the Glastonbury Festival began. We would love to hear from you (mailto:[email protected]?subject=Glastonbury%20CND%20Festival) if you have memories, stories and photos which reference CND from your time at the Glastonbury CND Festival.

We're particularly interested in material from the 1981 to 1987 festivals - the years when it was a benefit event for CND - but we're also interested in photos and videos since then which include the CND symbol.

We hope to include many of these photos and stories on a new section of the CND web site. We will use this page to tell the story of CND at Glastonbury. We will share this page with journalists who are writing about the history of the Glastonbury Festival as we get nearer the anniversary in June.
