Glastonbury has disclosed that it donated almost £2 million to various charities and causes in 2014, both locally and internationally.

Last year, the festival supported several hundred local charities and volunteer groups last year, including Greenpeace, WaterAid and Oxfam.

"We are extremely proud to be in a position where we can support so many great causes," said Glastonbury organisers Michael and Emily Eavis in a statement. "Thank you to everyone who comes to the festival for making this possible."

Another post-Glastonbury revelation recently emerged when Yannis Phillapakis admitted that Foals turned down a secret Glastonbury set due to being too "unfit."

The set eventually went to The Libertines who put on a passionate performance before Florence and the Machine on the Pyramid Stage.
