count down to glastonbury with all the numbers you need to know

This week, thousands of music lovers from across the U.K. and beyond will flock to a farm in the southwest of England for the legendary Glastonbury Festival of Contemporary Performing Arts . But just how many?

Find out in this guide to Glastonbury - and all of its quirks - by the numbers.

210,000: Full capacity of the festival

The festival's current license allows up to 210,000 people on-site, including fans, staff and performers - but, this year, a few thousand fewer tickets have been sold, to avoid overcrowding.

The closest village of Pilton has a population of around 1,000 people. During the festival, though, the area becomes the seventh-largest largest city in the U.K. more than double that of nearby Bath, which has a population of around 94,000.
